There is a checkbox when installing that asks if you want to give the developer access or not so I assume no access is given outside of the offline app unless you check this box.
Got a tip for us?

I'm already impressed with the default Apple keyboard and I use the keyboard in landscape mode. Is any of these keyboards worth it?
I never thought 3rd party keyboards would be this sweet on iOS! I am using Swype for iPad and I can't wait to use it on my iPhone 6 Plus. I just keep typing over and over again:
The quick brown Fox jumped over the lazy dog.

3rd Party Keyboards not working.
I just installed fleksy and swipe. I've gone in the app to take the tutorial and I've gone in settings, general, keyboard to add them. They say they're added but when I click on the globe key and select fleksy or swipe, the keyboard area disappears and I cannot use it as a keyboard. Even inside the fleksy and swipe app I cannot use it. In order to get back to a keyboard, I've got to go into settings and delete these two keyboards then go into my texting app to find the default one available again.
Does someone have a fix for this. I originally had beta installed but I just installed the latest iOS8 around 12 pm mountain time before attempting to install these keyboards so it doesn't seem like I should have any problem. I've tried restarting and everything.
Please help if you can. thanks!

I just got TextExpander 3. All I had to do to type all that was put "qfox" and it did it for me.
I have to go to the point of view of the year of the day I will be a good day to be a good day for me to be a good day to be a good time to get a new one is the best thing ever is when you have to be a good day to be a good time to get a good day to be a good day to day basis of the day I will be a good day to be a good day for me to be a good day to be a good time to get a good day to be a good day to day basis of the day I will be a good day to be a good day for me
is there an "Apple" keyboard that's black? Honestly okay with the stock iOS keyboard, just not the colour haha!
Its only a concern if you enable full access, but even then I think you're just being paranoid.
Except the Android OS didn't handle them securely and privately! 3rd-party SECURE keyboards remain an iOS exclusive! Third-party keyboards are kept walled off from passwords (no choice there) and even walled off from the network unless you choose to give that access.
The implementation is among the worst I've seen from Apple. All of them are super clunky to activate, none animate correctly or even work decently, and they just feel like hacks, nothing close to a native experience. Pretty appalling.
Minuum and swype work the least for me, Fleksy is alright but still feels quarter-baked.

Hoping for an iOS 6 and older style keyboard with similar layout and size. For whatever reason, I was able to type much faster in that setup (I still have old iPod Touches and such).
So far Fleksy is working a treat for me, I enjoy being able to change sizes, and the default black theme is a nice reduction in the overall bright feel of new world iOS.

Not getting the hype on keyboards
If we couldn't type efficiently with the iPhone all these years, why were we buying it? I am more excited about widgets, a feature we haven't had on the iPhone.

I was able to download Swiftkey by bringing up this link on my phone.

they aren't anything special on my galaxy note 3. only one i have is the weather channel one. all the others are just battery drainers
Some people like to swipe.
Some people think the keyboard is too big.
Some people want to have a gif library available in a moment's notice.
Some people want a true persian keyboard, without having to use the arabic keyboard.
Some people want long lines of text ready to paste in at a moment's notice.
It's not just about typing efficiently.
