Do you all use any third-party keyboards?

Swiftkey. It has gotten a LOT more stable and now they're even adding more color options.

Ive switched from BlackBerry 10 to IPhone and one of the things I missed the most from BB10 is the keyboard. IPhone's keyboard is alright but nothing to brag about.

Luckly, I found Crimson and I'm in love with it. The price tag is 2$ but it's worth it.

SwiftKey Is much better now than ever before

I downloaded swiftkey and it never would pop up on its own. After a few hours I forgot I downloaded it. I had it for awhile back in March and didn't notice this happening. Did notice it would switch to default for certain websites or "jump around" when entering in new contacts. I feel like it's more buggy now

Yes I do, I use the Stock keyboard and TouchPal (many options), but i mostly use the Stock keyboard because of the Microphone.

 

[steponeman]

you did the right choice with swiftkey, i couln't choose other keyboard alternative other than swiftkey

 

[ibou101]

I use Swype

 

[zerog46]

Gave up I just use the stock. I don't have time to fumble around with keyboards that don't always work.

I use SwiftKey. However, due to the following story about the app I've updated it so that it only activates when I use my secure WiFi at home.

If the slightest hint of trouble arises I will uninstall.

Where in the article does it mention the iPhone or other iOS device? First, the article is B$. Second, that won't happen with an iDevice. We've been hearing stories like this for some time. Like Facebook Messenger for example. And people believe that garbage. SMH!

I tried Swiftkey on my phone and iPad but reverted to the stock keyboard. Less buggy.

That's the same experience I had with SwiftKey; tried it on my iPhone 5 and went back to the stock setup after a while. Loved the skins though!

I keep switching between the stock  Keyboard & Minuum Keyboard. The theming of Minuum Keyboard keeps making me come back to it, also the ability to push the Keyboard to the left or right for one hand use in the 6 Plus comes in really useful.

I tried using a third party keyboard but I couldn't get used to it. Besides I'm not a fan of those so I will just stick to the normal one.

Nintype is an awesome keyboard but the learning curve is so steep.

 

[metllicamilitia]

I use SwiftKey and Next. The issues I've seen with the keyboard not always popping up or anything else seems to be an iOS issue because they all do it. I'll blame that on Apple. Once it's completely stable though I don't know that I'll ever use the stock keyboard again.

I was using Swype but it was massively broken in iOS 9 beta.

So I started using Swiftkey. My qualm with that keyboard is that it turns longer words into a cluster of smaller ones.

I'd just stumbled onto this keyboard called Path Input. It's a lot like Swype. I'm very satisfied with it.

I had a question regarding keyboards. Do you still have to change your keyboard everytime you want to use it if you are using a third party keyboard? I am thinking of moving from android to Iphone when the 6S Plus comes out. I tried out the keyboard switching on the Iphone 6 Plus (I had it for a little while) but I didn't like that you had to keep changing your keyboard when you wanted to use a different keyboard. I had Swiftkey installed and I didn't like the way apple had you constantly changing from the default keyboard to the one you wanted.

You can move SwiftKey to the top of your keyboard list for top preference, although iOS has still has some bugs with the code for third party keyboards. It will switch back to stock when typing in multiple text fields, sometimes the third party keyboard won't pop up or type text, and it sometimes switches back to stock just because. These are Apple's coding issues and I suspect they'll be fixed in due time.

I've been using SwiftKey since iOS 8 started last year and have never had it break long words into groups of small words. That's kind of strange. The only problem I have now is the 3rd party keyboards issue of the keyboard vanishing in Messages. But it only does maybe once a week.

Recently I tried to use SwiftKey again, and the strangest thing has been happening. After typing in a word and moving on to the next line, SwiftKey will then autocorrect as if I did not stop typing the last sentence. By that I mean it will group whatever I am typing with the last word I was typing, eventually jumbling up both together to make a rather weird mess.
