Was able to download using link from imore! Working well!

I have been using SwiftKey on my Android phone for years. I am so glad that it finally comes to iOS. The app can remember the common words and special words that you use frequently is simply fantastic!

Search doesn't find it, but direct link works:

No swipe input on the ipad though, only iphone. Strange design decision.

Thanks!!

It's great! Love this Keyboard!View attachment 64974


Sent from my ancient but trustworthy iPhone 5

Does it support themes as well?

I got it!

Paid the 99 cents to try out swipe and i'm digging it. Will feel weird for a while using a 3rd party keyboard on my iPhone for while but i'm glad i bought it.

I love SwiftKey and it is working pretty close to the android version. I thought they were going to have a theme store. Maybe in a future version.

Think I may do the same. Is it nice and responsive?

Might be a stupid question but how does this differ from Apple's new keyboard?

For a keyboard, looks good (using the dark theme). Didn't notice any slowdowns on my 5S.

SwiftKey learns better from how you word things resulting in better predictions. Also, the flow/swipe typing is just really awesome and faster than pecking. It is free so give it a try and see if you like it.

Swype is available in the app store. Really tempted to try it out but kinda waiting for user reviews first.

I downloaded while waiting for my son to exit his high school and get in the car. The Swype app works quite well on my iPhone 5. In fact, I'm replying via the Swype keyboard...

Switkey is going to be a pleasure to use on the 6+

i am unable to find in App Store Canada.

I've found it glitchy. Couldn't get any keyboard to come up in Safari although that only happened once. It's not as fluid when rising up as the stock keyboard. Otherwise it looks and works great as a keyboard. I'm even typing this reply right using it right now now. Will take some time to get used too.

Still no help until we can also use Siri with the keyboard. Having to switch out of Swiftkey to use Siri in iMessage is a deal breaker.

I'm download the Swiftkey keyboard now, but it's downloading at a snail's pace.

Not surprised since a ton of people are probably hitting apple servers to update their IOS device. Finding the App store in whole kinda slow. right now.

I ended up pausing it momentarily to get it to speed up.

Can someone explain Swiftkey vs Swype? This thread has mentions of both.

Swiftkey specializes in predictive text and includes a swype-like feature called Swiftkey Flow. Swype specializes in ease of use in regard to communicating via the keyboard by sliding from letter to letter.
