I mostly use Swype right now and occasionally SwiftKey. I haven't tried Fleksy. For messaging, I use MS Lync which has the landscape bug and I have to resort to the standard keyboard. I mostly use Google+ and Pulse on my phone.
yea. I've started to like it more and more. I especially like the feature that you have to long press the globe to switch keyboards so you cannot hit it by accident which I seem to do with other keyboards.
which one is thatThis keyboard is customizable and adds a 5th row, something that's come up in this forum quite a lot. It's called iKeywi.

I am.I think it has massive potential but it is definitely a beta still.Its the best one i have tried so far and i love the cursor select and delete function.Still a way to go yet though
Market is getting crowded - this keyboard looks intriguing: http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/2434413
Uses larger keys and supposedly helps you avoid errors...

Nintype's swipe performance didn't change for me at all with the update; still superb. AFAIK Jormy didn't change swipe mechanics or dictionary logistics.
Just got done setting up the new shortcuts in NinType. Pretty cool. It's the only keyboard I have enabled now.
Well it seems different to me. I swiped well and kept getting ell. It also seems I need to select the word more as it seems its less forgiving for sloppy swiping.
If you want to type "well" more often than "ell", try changing your word rankings. I'd drop my "ell" ranking to one dot as I don't type that very often.
Tap-hold spacebar, swipe to and release from "words". Find "ell" in the word list (if you've typed it recently, it'll be in the "new" list, else go to the "all" list, go to the last page, and look backwards from there). Tap (don't swipe) on "ell" to see what I call the fine-tune options. Tap on the "one dot" icon. Tap "done". That should decrease the likelihood of Nintype suggesting "ell" over "well" in future.
There are various ways to tweak word rankings - the above method seems to give me the best control of what shows up and what doesn't.
OK, this isn't an app-based keyboard, but it looks pretty darn cool: http://bgr.com/2015/01/13/waytools-textblade-iphone-keyboard-accessory/

I want to see what a few people mentioned in their slideshow of "thinkers on keyboards" say about it.
I am looking for tips or an app to make TextExpander work with Remote Desktop or Logmein. I do network support for several companies and type the same commands over and over. However, Textexpander doesn't seem to work with either Logmein or microsoft's RDP app.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Temporarily free iPhone apps, including a keyboard: http://bgr.com/2015/01/15/best-free-iphone-apps-jan-15/
Yes, but it's my understanding Textexpander pushes the typing in a different way than IOS standard - which does not work in RDP either. (At least I cannot seem to get it to work)
Which keyboard would you say it's the least buggy ( except from the stock one 
) I love swiftkey's prediction, I mean what better prediction than to look at the words I use and also having two languages prediction at a time it's awesome for me since I study languages but that keyboard is buggy as hell it refuses to work at all sometimes depending on the app, it just doesn't work at all on the contact list app , it's unaceptable, which one would you recommend to me? Swype? Fleksy?
