Goji was a location-based virtual keyboard, created for iOS 8 by The Last Guide Company.[1][2][3] The keyboard enabled users to output recommendations for places of interest around them by tapping on an icon. The keyboard was released in October 2014 and removed from the iOS App Store when the company was closed in August 2015.[4][5]
