Swiftkey for iOS 8

[tigerinexile]

Wonder if that's intentional on their part...

Is there a way to get the sound working on this keyboard? Or am I missing something?

Does the Swift key predictor work the same way and learn the words that the native keyboard would learn. I'm just wondering that later on if I go back to the native keyboard, will it have to learn my typing style again?

Installed it. Played with it. Deleted it.

I thought I wanted, among other things, a keyboard that properly reflected upper/lower case status with upper/lower case "keycaps". It’s annoying. The ToS is, in my opinion, excessive - access to read/store anything I type? No thanks.

Back to the native iOS keyboard, and very happy to have it.

Is anyone's flow option working? It's not even showing up under the options on my iPhone or iPad

Flow works for me on the iPhone but not on the iPad. Odd, that.

It's not available in the iPad version. They only mention it and show a screenshot in the iPhone version.

 

[candy84]

Hopefully they fix that

How do I enable long-press and the microphone key?? I use voice input all the time and that's a deal breaker.

I don't think it has the voice input. I use that all the time as well....I know the Android version has it. Shouldn't be too hard to add?

Also, super annoying my phone doesn't require a passcode but if I get a text and do quick reply then go back into messages to write a text it changes it back to the native ios keyboard not swiftkey. This may not sound like much, but it is super annoying.

I just deleted the native keyboard and it seems to be fine now. The native keyboard still shows up for passwords though

I wish that when you were doing a quick reply that you could use swiftkey or any other 3rd party keyboard. I wonder if this is possible somehow?

You can. I just did.

 

[xandrik]

You can. I just did.

Did you have to do anything to enable that?

 

[candy84]

I just did as well

I love Swiftkey on Android, but it sometime slow down the mobile. Not sure if I would try in on my iPhone.

A.B.

Nothing out of the ordinary

 

[tigerinexile]

At least Swype gives us that sort of typing on the iPad!

Curious what you think about battery usage from Swiftkey, looks to me it might be a battery hog? Or is that just me?
It does work very well and fast. Might try it a bit longer and decide later if it's a keeper or not. I have to say with Swiftkey I type faster than with predictive text.

So far, Swiftkey is only eating 2% so it's not swift key.

I was playing with the setting and the apps and Notification Center and wrote a few short emails. Usage was 19% (second app in row)
I used Swiftkey about 15 minutes during the one hour I played with IOS 8

I did a fresh install, curious if it gets better for me now.

Forgive me if it's already been said, but there's something missing in the keyboard that's huge! You can't use it while replying to an actionable notification on the lock screen. That also means that if you want to keep the little globe uncluttered, you can't
