Great for iPhone, terrible for iPad

Please fix the issue with you App for the iPad. It does "funky "stuff!" It freezes, changes color, on iOS 8 & 9, on the iPad mini & the new iPad mini 4

Few things...

I gave both Swift key and swype a try when apple introduced the third party keyboard extension... Due to iOS not handling it well, I went back to apples keyboard. Now on ios9 I gave both a try again. swype tried to predict way too much and even replaces the right word I typed when I type the next word which is really annoying. I think SwiftKey just does enough prediction and auto correcting I like it much more. But even sometimes that have trouble learning my vocabulary.

Worked way better before

Prediction is horrible after upgrading to iOS 9, now I have to manually correct 2 out of every 5 words I type even on common words like "what" and "this"

I love the concept but it crashes all the time

I have an iPhone 4S and at the beginning it was working as a charm. Its really fast. Two days ago it started to take a long time to open. Yesterday I had to uninstall it because it crashed all the time. Please fix it, Ill totally continue to use it.

Could you make the emoji keyboard have all the new 150 emojis?

Very nice app and easy to use! Just add the new iOS 9.1 emojis? Thanks! ☺

Keeps freezing

Ive been using this keyboard for so long but recently it keeps freezing, not allowing me to type anything or even switch keyboards. Please fix

Top marks!!

This is my go-to keyboard

Getting worse

Prediction getting worse with every release, still no language Auto detection

Amazing Swipe Keyboard

Im totally addicted to Swyping now. The killer app within this app is the Swype-to-punctuate feature. No other KB has this. Those of you having trouble with the sometimes-odd autocorrect, turn off autocomplete in settings. Please bring back the Swype-up-to-capitalise feature that I loved so much, though, and Ill give 5 stars.

Close but not yet...

I love Swype, even when not using it to Swype because I dont have to change screens for punctuation. When using iMessage, locking the screen on my 6s with the keyboard open, unlocking the phone has the keyboard switched back to the Apple keyboard. I hope this is fixed in the next update.

Good keyboard. Few issues with it

It works great for typing, no issues at all however on the iPhone 6+ when you are in a call, the keyboard gets pushed down the screen almost fully covering that whole bottom row of keys. This makes typing a little annoying especially if you are taking a note on the phone while in a call. Other than that the keyboard works great, maybe a little slower than the apple keyboard

Fails to come up

Often keyboard does not appear when needed, especially in text message app where you sometimes have to reboot to get it to appear. Now rating one star as developer cant fix the problem, its been months.

Needs Globe button to quickly switch

It needs to add a globe button to let me switch to a different keyboard quickly. This is avoiding top the Apple guidelines.

More trouble than its worth

Like other users, I spend more time correcting words I spelled correctly and the app chooses to change. None of the new emojis are present and its more work than ease. I plan on removing the app.

Not bad but with some limitations

This could have been great but the preferential use of contact names over real words is an issue. Its a shame since if it didnt use contact names it wouldnt be that bad. All the same for one handed use, its my main keyboard. As someone else pointed out, Id like a globe for quick swapping to the stock (which i use for forms and voice dictation)

Finally fixed keyboard!

It seems the latest update finally left us with a keyboard that doesnt cut the bottom off anymore! Thank you! No longer a one star rating. I hope it works consistently now, because when it works, its amazing!

Auto Caps Gone - Disappearing Keyboard

Where did the Swype up above the keyboard to capitalize a word go? That was a great feature now it is gone. The Swype keyboard continues to randomly and regularly disappears, defaulting back to the Apple keyboard. A work around is to delete all keywords in settings and then Swype seems to work ok all of the time.

Terrible keyboard

The prediction accuracy is very bad, even for simple sentences. The autocorrect is also extremely aggressive which is very annoying.

Improvements

Its much improved and I enjoy it. I would add the ability to make the keys larger and 3D touch like the stock keyboard

Where did the capitalization Swype go?

I love this app, but it seems to be getting progressively worse. Odd corrections and crashing. I miss swyping up to capitalize. When will this be fixed with an update?
