Personal choice on security, but I feel comfortable used it for a year in on Android. But this is how it get the predictions ironed out. When first installed on IOS it did not have my contacts accessed and it could not figure out my friends name, until I turned on contacts support.
Got a tip for us?

I can't find the Swype setting for full access....does that mean they can't see what I type like Swiftkey if I enable full access...
I am paranoid and don't want a 3rd party to see what I am typing so the warning was alarming, but I can't seem to find full access setting in swype, so I am hoping they are still sandbox'ed so I don't have to worry.
Anyone with insight, or have I just missed it?

I used to really like Swiftkey on my old Android phone but I'm not liking it on iOS 8 for some reason. Could type way faster with Apple's old keyboard. Wish they had an option to remove the word prediction stuff as its annoying to look at.
I'm thinking that Swiftkey would be really good for iPhone 6 and 6+ though as the screen is larger. On my 5 it's a pain in the ass...constant typing mistakes.

Ditto. I think Swype is taking Swiftkey down with it.
----------
Delete Swype as a system keyboard and Swiftkey will work fine again.

From what I can tell, when you enter passwords you will get the standard Apple keyboard instead of Swiftkey (as a security feature).
Not a fan of Swype and SwiftKey is better but I'll be sticking with stock....No way I will be able to type faster with either.
The only problem i see with the keyboards is the fact that they don't auto lock when opening a message
Downloaded both SwiftKey and Swype. Definitely can swipe faster than type--but to be honest I actually like the stock keyboard.
One issue though, if I'm using either of these two third party keyboards and open up Messages and starts typing, the last message is always off screen and I'm seeing the previous few messages above that. I have to scroll down to pull up the last message into view. The default QuickType keyboard doesn't have this issue. Anyone else seeing this?

installed Swype earlier tonight and started testing it. In Messages whenever I open up a new message, or click Messages from the home screen and start "swyping" the text doesn't show up. Not until I actually click inside the text box does it work.
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but for those having the blank keyboard issue with Swype, see if this fixes it for you. Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Guided Access OFF. This is off by default, but maybe many, like me, turned it on in case their kids were using the phone. That would explain why seemingly a minority of people are experiencing the issue. Worked for me!
