I tried clicking on fleksy and I get the app is no longer available, or something along those lines! I tried the direct link.
Can someone explain fleksy? I finally got it to download. And it's not available to "install" under settings. And when I click on the app, it just says these are the apps that are compatible with it. (I am confused)
Doesn't sound like it's the latest version. It was available pre-iOS8. Today's update is 4.0.
I can't get fleksy working. I am trying touch pal right now. So far I like Swype the best out of three I have tried. (Swype, touch pal, and fleksy)
Minuum is up right now. I am playing with that one also. I think two things. First I got to get used to typing on these keyboards. And also I think these keyboards are made with iPhone 6 in mind. Def need a bigger screen. For me at least.
I'm using Swype right now. It seems pretty solid, and definitely familiar from my Android days. Love it for when my phone is sitting on my desk.
The only thing I can't figure out is how to switch to the emoji keyboard without switching back to the native iOS one first?
Edit: nevermind, you just have to delete the "English" keyboard from the list in the settings. Then you only have two to switch through.

I wanna try Minuum, do you think it's the best keyboard so far based on first impressions?
Is the English keyboard the one that comes native? If I delete that will I lose access to dictation?
Is this available for iPhone 5 as well? Because I tried installing SwiftKey and it didn't work for me :s
Can't find Swype via App Store search
It's weird, but I can't find Swype in the App Store via search for either "Swype" or looking at the apps from Nuance Communications. If it weren't for the link in this thread, I would not be able to find it.

Minuum does work great. So does touchpal. But my go to keyboard so far has been Swype. Love it. Esp with the dark theme. Still waiting on swiftkey.
Yes, the English keyboard is the native one it seems. How are you accessing dictation with Swype? Are you switching back to the native keyboard, then pressing the button? I'm pretty sure I read that the 3rd party keyboards won't have access to it at this time.

swiftkey link on their site but it appears currently it works for Ipad Only
edit: got it to work now! seems like for some reason it took me to the ipad link first

Is it just me or is quick reply from lock screen disable 3rd party keyboard? Doesn't that partly defeat the purpose of quick reply from lock screen?
