Is Fleksy better than the Stock Keyboard?

[rodetrip]

I updated my 5s to ios 8 and i was wondering if the fleksy app is worth it? i have no problem with the stock keyboard at all, as a matter of fact, i think im a fast texter, but i have been reading that fleksy is the "fastest keyboard in the world" so i am curious, is it worth it? thanks

Swiftkey is currently my #1 but Flexy is really cool.
One of the cons of Swiftkey is that it's huge. Flexy has an option to make the keyboard really small. And with the gestures it's great.

I'm trying really hard to like it because i love the small size. It gives me more real estate on my 4s. I find when the autocorrect works it is quite good but when it doesn't, it takes me quite awhile to fix the mistakes. I guess it takes getting used to but Im not sure I prefer it enough to do that.

No Swiftkey and Minnum are both very good and accurate keyboards.

I'm loving swype since you don't have to allow the dev access to every keystroke.

I'm looking swype plays you ssh opponent have to allow the dev every keystroke.

I don't understand that sentence. Come again?

I love Fleksy. I have a hard time whenever I have to enter a password and the normal keyboard pops up. If I have to redo it, I try swiping on it and of course it doesn't work!

I tried it and hated using it. It just didn't seem to be half as accurate as Swiftkey or even the iOS 8 keyboard.

I'm definitely in the minority as lots of people think it's great but i just doesn't mesh with my typing style. Which is a shame because it really like the minimalist styling and the increase in screen space.

I'm still trying all of them, fleksy swype swiftkey. And I have to admit even though I love the concept of a cool new way to type, I'm not sure any of them are Better than the new Apple keyboard. Fleksy is interesting to look at but I don't see what it does better than the apple keyboard. What are the functions people enjoy about it?

Drunk replys with predictive text are bad.

Some people are upset that SwiftKey asks for full access to what you type with it in order to enable predictive text and suggest words for you. They're upset that SwiftKey (a very reputable company) is going to steal their credit card information or something of the sort.

As far as I know though, Apple requires that 3rd party keyboards revert to the stock keyboard for entering sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers, so there's nothing really to worry about.

I enjoy swiping because it's much quicker typing (if your language is supported by the app). Don't forget to try Touchpal. I've collected a huge list of all keyboard apps here (Dutch post, you can translate it via Google).

I also don't think Fleksy is the keyboard for me. It doesn't have full swype support. It's only a standard keyboard with a few swipe options and quick features which are different from the Apple keyboard.
