There's certainly no shortage of keyboard apps out there, but the 'Gboard' app is destined to definitely be one of the more powerful ones.
Released by Google and available now on iOS devices, the 'Gboard' app allows users to type as usual, but also puts a number of key, powerful features at users' fingertips. The 'Gboard' app enables users to perform a Google search straight from the keyboard, search for emojis and even search GIFs. This allows iOS users to perform a number of different tasks all without ever having to leave the current app they're in.
The 'Gboard' app ups the ante for what keyboard apps are capable of and helps to cross-pollinate the Google brand onto Apple devices to maintain a connection to those not using an Android.
