Predictive Keyboard Is Awful

[mcmul]

Apple's prediction system works great in my experience.

Go directly to their website and download it. You have the wrong app.

Thanks, it's worked. Don't know why it's not on the App Store on the iPhone :|

Which one would you say wins out between Swift Key and Swype?

I always liked SwiftKey on my android phone, but Swype is better than I remember it. So far SwiftKey is in the lead.

I've downloaded Swiftkey Note, that's the only Swiftkey in the search results. Maybe it's not released in the UK yet?

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, the App Store is acting up today. Not surprising considering the amount of app updates that are being approved and downloaded and other things that are being downloaded today. I still can't find regular SwiftKey in the App Store in the U.S. by searching, either. I clicked a link in a tweet from the SwiftKey folks a few hours ago and was able to pull up the correct app in the App Store and download it that way, though.

I'm loving it. I wish my mac had it too,

I've used Predictive keyboard on my android so being able to have it on iOS 8 is somewhat similar and familiar

 

[Kevitivity]

Wow, I love it so far.

Very strange, a great new feature, will be using it all the time, will save tons of time typing, there's no pleasing odd people.

I guess if you type slowly it makes sense? I don't want to check the top bar to see if it correctly guesses what I'll type next.

If your typing quickly then you don't need it so ignore it or switch it off in Settings/General/Keyboard/Predictive.

I'm loving swiftkeys, but I'm finding that my phone reverts back to the native keyboard at times. Anyone have this happen?

 

[thedeske]

I briefly used it, and it may be useful. Time will tell.

I'll use sometimes and sometimes not

It reverts to stock keyboard when entering passwords, for one.

I'm actually really liking it. I'm kinda relearning how to type because I'm focused on the suggestion bar. However I can tell even while I'm learning my wpm are the same so they can only increase from this point.

well, its reverting to stock virtually every time i unlock my phone...its VERY annoying. is this just how its going to be? is there any way to ensure that SwiftKey remains as the primary keyboard?

 

[whsbuss]

Gonna wait till I get the IP6 before I switch it off. On IP5 it takes up too much real estate.

Had to remove it immediately. It's sickening to watch all the words fly by as you're trying to type.

Anyone else remove it?

I think the same, that is the first thing I do because you get dizzy

 

[royinla14]

I can not swype for some reason on Swiftkey. Anyone else?

Since Beta 1, I removed it. Yes because of the annoyance, but also because it didn't get the job done.
But I speak french, I would have hoped it was better for you guys in english.

 

[ghsDUDE]

I can't see how people actually like this???

It makes you type slower if you ask me.

If anyone is having swipe issues on any third party keyboard make sure that full access is toggled on as this seems to make it work.

Also I was having problems like others were with the standard keyboard appearing so I went into keyboard and just delayed the standard keyboard from the list.

It has to do more with how you type I think. Looking at the top bar isn't a problem for me because generally I'm looking at what I'm typing anyway not where I'm typing. Glancing at the suggestions is easy.

What is impressive is the only words I needed to use more then 3 letters + suggestion tap in all this were "glancing", "suggestions", and "anyway". The rest were mostly 1-2 letters and occasionally 3.

 

[CEmajr]

Is there a way to make Swiftkey make the clicking sound when you press a button? Seems to be silent while I'm typing.

 

[Mechayoshi]

Seems okay to me. Considering there isn't a lot of good ipad keyboards right now, there's no excuse to not get used to it.
