Looking for a new keyboard app

[vikrantvm]

I was a happy Fleksy keyboard user, loved it for its minimal interface. It just took up a lot less screen real estate than the regular stock keyboard. Plus I loved the left swipe to delete last word feature. But after upgrading to to iOS 10, the keyboard doesn't perform so well, hangs midway and I get the stock keyboard. I suppose Fleksy just gives up. I read that the Fleksy team went to Pinterest and I haven't got any app updates for months.
All that being said, I think its time for me to move on to a new keyboard app. Any suggestions in line with what Fleksy used to offer are appreciated. Important for me would be a minimal interface and less screen real estate(I'm on 5S)

I'm looking for a new one too, nothing seems to beat Fleksy imo

I've been using SwiftKey since the beginning of iOS 8. It's the smartest keyboard of all. I use predictive, rather than swipe.

I love Fleksy too, but hasn't been performing great after iOS 10.

I never used a 3rd party keyboard. Do you really find a benefit to using one? Better predictive and auto-correct? Question, once you set it as your keyboard, do you have to change it each time in a message or when using a keyboard or will it stay as default?

Try word flow.

I like Swiftkey. I tried the Google's Gboard for a couple months but went back to Swiftkey. I use the swipe option and like the predictive text.

I'd recommend Gboard by google...It offers everything offered in Fleksy & much more... Recently it has become my favourite iPhone keyboard replacing Swifkey.

I tried GBoard, but it asked for permission to my contacts. I deleted it.

I use Swiftkey. Have tried a few others but keep coming back to it.

Any keyboards out there that make use of the haptic feedback without jailbreaking?

I'm a SwiftKey fan as well. Since I was on Android. Even have my mom using it now.

Do any allow Siri dictation yet?

That's what I'm looking for too! Love Swiftkey, but doesnt' have dictation...

I typically stick with the stock board but sometimes I like to dabble in the 3rd party region of boards! GBoard was my favorite but I'm digging SwiftKey at the moment.

Love the slide typing!
