I have never used a keyboard as good as SwiftKey. I update it when there's update without wasting time.

I have Google keyboard, Flash and SwiftKey on my phone. But I feel very comfortable using SwiftKey.

Currently using the SwiftKey "Spotlight Orange theme". Lovely!

There is one cracked SwiftKey Key that I use on my Android that has over 50+ themes unlocked(though not updated since it's cracked version), wish I could use it on my iPhone as well

"SwiftKey Beta" is the latest version. It comes with many languages, including Nigeria own languages as well. Yorùbá Igbo and Hausa.

But now that Microsoft is buying it, I am having this thought, they might make it free for window OS users, while android and iOS users might pay.

*Finger crossed*

The best I have ever used cheesy

Swift key is food but has far too many features which made me delete it

Too many cook spoil the broth

abatically:

Sane with me. I don't know why that keyboard gets high rating. Swiftley lags like crayze. I use high end phones that don't lag, but once I start using swiftkey it lags and not able to keep up with my typing speed. Overrated rubbish keyboard. Google keyboard way better for me. And now I just installed chroomer keyboard which is way better

Ur SwiftKey dey fear person, SwiftKey is nothing but the bet keyboard on mobile. Even Ifa knows this.

Then I think the best thing to do now is to download the latest version and backup the apk file and also use iTunes on my PC to download the latest version for iPhone and backup the ipa file as well. Then I'll seat back and watch Microsoft in 5D to see when they're will put a price tag on it, then I will install my backup apk and ipa and enjoy no updates

MS can't put a price tag on it. They could only find a way to ruin the user experience cos they wanna make money

I hate window phones with passion, because it's very boring.

Hope they won't bring boring features into the SwiftKey. Lol.

Microsoft have released all its core apps to Android, which makes the platform enterprise friendly. Google refusal to release her apps to windowsphone is the main reason why windows phone is not growing... Microsoft is gradually fighting back by gradually deposing Apple and Google in tablet space..a surface phone will surely dent Android devices. The world is gradually shifting from smartphones to vr and ar; Facebook and Microsoft are far ahead, while Apple and Google are yet to get themselves together

What I hate about it is that... The size of the mb keeps increasing massively. But that still won't make me to uninstall it.
