I forget who, here, had recommended SwiftKey to me, several times, and every time I tried it, it was a disaster.
Well, disaster no more:
I have no idea which version of SwiftKey I have but this is superb!
Perfect autocorrect, accurate word prediction, thus is awesome.

*is happy* 😍🎉🎈

Glad it's working for you (smile). I think Ledsteplin and myself recommended SwiftKey to you.

Cool! I even deleted the stock keyboard. It still comes up for passwords and such, but SwiftKey works better that way.

I have it on iPad and iPhone. While I type normally on my iPad, I love swiping on my phone, it's awesome.

I have the swipe feature turned off. Never liked it. I prefer the predictive method. Works great for me.

I can't believe I even like it, it drove me nuts everytime I tried it in the past.

All those 3rd party keyboard issues started to improve a lot with iOS 8.4. It's gotten better since. I haven't had the messages app freeze or the keyboard vanish in a long time.

Is anyone else having the problem of SwiftKey being deleted from your keyboards? I've had it happen a few times and have no idea why. Having to add it again is simple enough I suppose, but it's a bit irritating.

No, not lately. It happened a long time back some with all my 3rd party keyboards. I keep the stock keyboard deleted. That seems to help.

Can it be easily un-deleted?

Just go back to Settings -> Genera -> Keyboards and add it back in.

I'm still using it, not quite sure it's "better" than the stock keyboard but I'm giving it some time. I do miss the dictation icon, particularly in the car.

I never used dictation much at all. I always felt if I did that, I may as well just call them. The 3 things I like most with SwiftKey, is 1. It's smart with a great memory. 2. Dark keyboard 3. Ability to delete non words from the predictive keyboard library.
