Is anyone here using swiftkey on the new iphone x? I used it briefly on an iphone 6 before and obviously it works but it just did not feel as fluid nor as polished as it is in android.

At the time it was alot more responsive / snappier on android and each key could be long pressed to bring up various characters so it was a little more convenient to use.

Can anyone using it on the X comment on the over all experience or maybe they use an alternative they feel is even better??

Personally i love swiftkey and its one of the first apps i download when i purchase a new phone.

I've been using SwiftKey since 6 Plus and still works well for my X. The key flow is pretty fluid and accurate but sometimes I just prefer to type as per normal.

Overall I enjoy using it and will continue to do so.

Is it as limited as it used to be for ios? Does swiftkey for ios have long press options for secondary keys for example? Swiftkey also did a better job at predictive text when i used it on android v ios for some reason. Really hoping it has improved since then given that everyone says apps are better/more polished on ios

....given that everyone says apps are better/more polished on ios

Oh I see. Well, a good deal of 3rd-party apps do seem to work better or be more polished with iOS, but that’s doesn’t mean ALL apps are. Now in regard to Swiftkey, I haven’t used it in a long time. Not that it was bad or anything. I simply found the native keyboard to be sufficient for me. If you have an iPhone X, go ahead and install it and test it out for yourself.

No longer presses for other features no swipe down for other characters such as for iPad but it's sufficient to use, unless you require other features.

As a dedicated swiper....I really like Gboard on ios and find it buttery smooth on the x. I will check out Swiftkey again at some point but prefer Gboard over it with my 7+

Are there any other alternatives to gboard or SwiftKey?

Wordflow is pretty good, but I always end back up to gboard...

I used to use SwiftKey on iPhone, but I prefer it on Android.

Are these keyboards better then the default Apple? What the best keyboard on the x?

Whichever one works best for you is the best. I prefer the stock keyboard. If you give SwiftKey time it adapts to where you actually hit the keys to make itself more accurate for you. Each keyboard has its own unique qualities. Nintype uses a combination of dual hand swiping and tapping, which can be pretty fast when you learn it.

Do you swipe or Peck?

Coming from Android I know what you mean, that was the hardest thing to give up when I switched to the 5s. I used Swiftkey for iOS when it first came out, but wasn't very happy with it either. I don't have the X yet, but I use Gboard on the 8 plus and very happy with it, it don't have the long press option either.
I do feel it's more accurate then Swiftkey very quick and responsive and remembers you style of typing witch I'm sure all the swipe style keyboard for iOS do.

Swiftkey is pretty much knows me at this stage lol Thats why its hard to give it up! Its accurate and allows me to type quickly , accurately and its over all a seamlessly experience! The stock keyboard on ios is pretty decent! (I work with phones so often use it briefly when setting iphones up) but its not as accurate and not as quick to type on!

To some people they are and to other people they are not.

It depends, they do offer more features.
But I love Apple’s stock keyboard due to its design.

Swype is another one. I’ve played with this, Swiftkey and GBoard. Each was fine is the most I can say.

I’m using the iOS default keyboard now. I got paranoid about having yet another company be able to log my every keystroke. Learning to type with my thumbs.

[COMMISSIONERHBK9]

I always wanted to swype it just seems different. When I had andriod I swype

[Ledsteplin]

I've found SwiftKey works better on my 6s Plus with the stock keyboard deleted. Not sure if that would apply to the X. But I can tell a difference.

I've got the iPhone X and use a bunch of different 3rd party keyboards. To me, the best part of the native keyboard is the dictation feature. I also like that Apple made single handed mode easier to access.

There are a bunch of great third party keyboards available. I'm entering this post with SwiftKey, but I usually use Nintype or Minuum. I normally like keyboards with single handed modes, but SwiftKey is working really well right now.

I used Swiftkey on every android phone I owned because for me it was the best to type on with Android. When I moved to iPhone I have found the iOS keyboard to be the best one I have ever typed on, tried Swiftkey a couple times but went back.

i tried swiftkey a while ago, i started using gboard. i usually always use the stock keyboard but if i only have one hand available, ill swipe text and gboard does the job for me, it is very smooth, clean and simple.

For tap typing the stock iOS keyboard can’t be beat imo but I do like the swipe to text feature on swift key and Gboard. Wish Apple would bake that in to the stock keyboard then there would be no need to download a 3rd party keyboard.

Yeah, I do like the swipe feature.
I just love the original/stock look of the iOS keyboard.

I tried all the keyboard and I ended up uninstalling those and back to stock
