swiftkey is the best unless flex integrates the languages together without going to change it each time

predictive text is horrible

I installed this on my Droid Pro running rooted GB. Most of the other keyboard apps I have installed work just fine except for this one. The keyboard never pops up on-screen. The list of words shows up at the bottom but the on-screen keyboard doesn’t show. I thought it might be because I changed my phone’s default LCD Density setting but even setting it at default, it still won’t appear on-screen in portrait or landscape. Damn.

I am not really into this.
I’ve tried it all day, and I still prefer SwiftKey

They do not offer various keyboard layouts, as in split keyboards for thumb typing, or regular layouts. They do allow you to customize the size of the keys, etc. and the color of the keys, etc. The predictor AI is excellent. But if this came with a thumb layout, or a swiping option, that would be perfect.

This app requires a data connection and send every keystroke to the cloud, does this not worry anyone else? The word keylogger comes to mind. Not that I think the developer would do that, I’m just not sure how I like the idea of everything I type being sent to a server somewhere. Usernames, passwords, emails, sms…

I’ve tried a few different keyboards, and always go back to SwiftKey. It has its quirks, but they keep updating it and I am a beta tester, so I get to give feedback on crappy features. In any case, the two things that keep me a SwiftKey fan is the spacebar inserts the predicted word (PITA when it’s wrong!) and the #1 item – sliding my finger to the left across the keys to delete a word. Simply cannot live w/o that and drives me nuts when I try another app that won’t let me do that and I have to manually backspace one character at a time!

Thumb Keyboard is where its at… has many themes like WP7 Keyboard and many others and has bi-prediction which is much faster no need for data

Yeah, an app that takes everything I type, including passwords, and sends it off to a server with no privacy policy, for suggestions. No thanks. I’d be willing to bet it doesn’t even use SSL for the connection.

I would rather give up a few MB’s space to have good a good prediction DB on the phone (SD) than have it go out to the server for it.

Yes, that might mean more interim DB updates, however the performance tradeoff would be positive imo.

Nevertheless, I’ll try it out and evaluate…

Also keep in mind, that the technology could be the internal code running the default GB keyboard… Just because they bought it doesn’t mean it may not be in use.

I loved swift key x but for some reason after about a month of use i have to remove it and reinstall it because it gets super slow. This is a perfect replacement

This keyboard is great! In slow down in landscape mode compared to the others. Thanks!
