One Handed Keyboard helps make the giant iPhone 6 Plus easier to use single-handedly

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are larger in every way compared to previous iPhone generations, but these latest smartphones can prove difficult to use with only one hand available. Apple has implemented a few neat little features to help make things more user-friendly, but there's only so much iOS 8 can do.

Cue One Handed Keyboard, a third-party app, which does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a keyboard replacement that aids typing single-handedly on the larger displays .

The custom keyboard can be configured for both left and right-handed use, with the ability to quickly switch back to normal (full width) size by holding down the spacebar. While it's possible to change the color of the keyboard itself, the app automatically switches between available themes depending on which app is currently in use. There is a downside, which will see users of this app lose iOS 8 predictive text, replaced with a more basic auto-correct experience.

It's a neat app and is worth checking out if you're seeking such a solution for the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. Do let us know how you manage with the new iPhones and if you use any third-party apps like One Handed Keyboard.
