The keyboard will only appear if there is a section to type in and you tap into that section. If you are using an app designed by someone other than Apple, if it is supposed to have a keyboard, it would appear when it is supposed to. If you believe one should appear and it does not, then you need to contact the app developer or their support site to have them troubleshoot it for you.
