Hi. I'm using it for the dictionaries in my Custom keyboard for iOS - Type Nine[1], and for the small amount of settings the app has.
It basically provided everything i needed out of the box, and i have dictionaries with 250,000 - 400,000 words that returns BEGINSWITH queries sorted by most used words faster than anyone would be able to type. (below 20ms on an iPhone 5)
I had actually implemented everything in CoreData (sqlite) at first, but when i fell over Realm i gave myself a couple of hours to test it out, and haven't looked back since.
It has a really small API surface, so if you're considering to use it I would definitely recommend you to try it out, it wouldn't take a long time to find out if what you need is available.
