FlickType - Watch Keyboard for Negative User Reviews
✓ Sucks app is trashDont work on my watch an will not work.Version: 2021.12
✓ Don’t get this!It doesn’t show up in your iMessage on your watch, it’s VERY separate making it very useless..Version: 2020.1
✓ ScamAdvertises for free and then asks for $10 in the app to actually use any of the advertised features..Version: 2021.7
✓ Good, but only halfway there.Overall it saves me time, but I still cannot understand why there’s still no option to select numbers, special characters, etc without having to take extra time to scribble which defeats half of the purpose. Please bring this feature! Also for some reason when you do scribble (for instance, a question or exclamation mark) it leaves a space that you cannot get rid of after the text you want to add said special character to. Also would be great to edit text suggestions when you want to enter a name or something and it doesn’t let you! Again making you take extra time to go into scribble and doing it that way. This app is supposed to save you time but often it does the opposite. I hope you can bring about these changes in the near future and I’ll give it 5 stars..Version: 2020.1
✓ Premium Not ClearSo i paid £6.99 for the same exact features for a free version. There was a clear inapp ads claiming to unlock keyboard on watch and it never happened was a scam..Version: 2021.12
✓ Ok, needs updateThe app is good but hampered by Apple not allowing it to work directly with the iMessage app. The workaround that is shown in the video to reply to a message by swiping down to dismiss it does not work. It does dismiss the message, yes, but the keyboard does not come up. Also, the documentation says that if you to a two finger tap the next word will start with a capital letter. That does not work. Also pressing down with two fingers does not allow me to see the whole text that has been typed in. It would be good if there was a way to have an all caps option. Or an all caps keyboard and all lower case keyboard that could be toggled back and forth..Version: 2021.12
✓ Terrible AppBought this app and still can’t get the keyboard to work on my Apple Watch. Waste of money.Version: 2021.12
✓ Does not openJust bought this app and it doesn’t open in my watch nor does it show the keyboard, what a waste of my money. I will report this to Apple..Version: 2000.3
✓ Bought the appWorks good except I wish it would link from the message app and not it’s own.Version: 2021.12
✓ KeyboardI paid 6,99 for this keyboard just now and it doesn’t work on my Apple Watch it’s a rip off so how do I get my money back.Version: 2021.12
✓ I like!Really cool, for the most part it gets what I’m trying to type. But sometimes it’s frustrating when I want to type something specific. For example, I want to type “mmh” and I’m certain I hit all 3 letters, but it corrects to something entirely different. Maybe at the bottom of the suggestion list should be the letters I specifically typed?.Version: 2000.2
✓ Not actually freeNot actually free. Requires a sizeable in app purchase before it’ll let you have the keyboard on your watch. And the free features… do nothing..Version: 2021.12
✓ Doesn’t work without an iphoneWanted to use this app for my daughter’s apple watch SE which is set up as a family watch (so no phone). Thought it would be a good option since apple restricts their keyboard to Apple watch 7+. Unfortunately this app, even though it’s meant for a watch, can only be used on watches directly paired to a phone. Works ok on my watch but I don’t type messages in my watch since I have a phone. Those that need it most -the ones without a phone- can’t use it. I will have to keep on looking for a keyboard that can be used without a phone..Version: 2021.12
✓ No customer supportI purchased FlickType but it fails to install on the Apple Watch. I have emailed FlickType customer support three times for assistance, have had zero response. Looks like I wasted my money. Recommend purchasing a competitor product..Version: 2021.12
✓ Ehhh...liked the previous version better on Apple WatchSo I use this a lot on my watch, but I’ve got to say that I prefer the keyboard mechanics of the previous version. Before if you wanted to erase a word, you swiped from right to left. Now, you have to tap the teeny tiny back space button on the lower right corner of the watch, which is next to impossible because it keeps hitting the space bar and inserting all kinds of garbage into your message. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I do like the look of the redesign, but the functionality and ease of use went out the door with the update ..Version: 2000.2
✓ Bait and switchNo functionality without in-app purchase.Version: 2021.12
✓ Can’t silence adsI like this app and I don’t care that there are ads at all but they are so loud and you can’t silence them unless you turn volume down on phone each time. I play while listening to music or audiobook and it just interrupts it every few minutes..Version: 2021.12
✓ Don’t bother downloading NOT FREE!!Doesn’t put a keyboard on ur watch unless you pay a stupid amount of money only way it works is to type on ur phone which makes it a pointless app..Version: 2021.12
✓ Seems like a rip offDoesn’t tell you before downloading that there is a cost. Then you find out it’s $13.99. I’m glad I read other reviews before paying that. I wouldn’t want to waste my money on an app that won’t even work. I mean it if makes typing messages on the Apple se watch easier, sure. But a lot are saying it doesn’t work. So I’ll skip.Version: 2021.7
✓ Don’t like the appDon’t like the app, I found it harder to use than scribble. I saw many good reviews online and decided to pay. Regret paying and don’t know how to get a refund..Version: 2021.12
✓ Not greatNot really good at all, doesn’t work with my Apple Watch and does not come up when I’m replying to messages on the watch. Says I need to pay £6.99 to get access. Can only type through the app and it DOES NOT come up on your watch.Version: 2021.12
✓ .Not useful! I want my money back.Version: 2021.12
✓ $13.99? ridiculousThey don’t tell you that it’s $13.99 before installing the app. Make it so that you have to pay before downloading! In app purchases later are stupid..Version: 2021.8
✓ It was goodI'm fully aware of the situation going on. But updating this app would make it useless. Now I can't update the app or my phone. The app still works on here, but it's physically impossible to stay on iOS 14 forever I now have to update each app individually. Welcome to the slow world of typing. If you're updating to 15 be careful..Version: 2021.10
✓ Not FreeMight as well be fake advertising instead of having an in-app purchase, what a tool.Version: 2021.7
✓ It’s okNo lowercase that I can see, I need both lower and upper case.Version: 2024.1
✓ Good potential but not there yet.The keyboard works great but you CANNOT reply to a text from the iPhone messaging app. You can only send texts through this app on your watch which also makes you confirm twice to send. Would be nice if after you hit there name it just send without having to hit send again. The keyboard it great but the fact that after you receive a message you have to close that app, open another app, text the app, hit send, then hit send again. Just too many steps for such a simple task. Not worth it, yet until they can integrate it into the stock messaging app like on the iPhone..Version: 2000.3
✓ Almost there! Very close!The swipe feature is good. It doesn’t always get the word correctly, but I imagine a part of that issue is due to the small screen on the watch. The autocorrect for typing normally is just spot on! It’s great! My gripe: please please please! There has to be an easier way to access numbers and symbols than all the different clicks to go through. It’s just too cumbersome to have to go through so many taps just for a question mark or a number. My suggestion: if you can get true smart t9, this app would knock all other apps out of the park! I just feel for a screen this small, a true smart t9 is the way to go (aside from the swiping). My other suggestion is to make the keyboard more contextually aware, which could help autocorrect when swiping. Thanks! 👍🏻💪🏻.Version: 2021.10
✓ I thought I could use this one another note app on my watchI could not use it on Bear on my watch. Really need support! Otherwise, I need to get my refund for around aud $40!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 2021.12
✓ Deceptive & LumpyI don’t like how they’ve positioned it as a free app with in-app purchases. Just charge for it. And it isn’t a keyboard for your Apple Watch, it’s a typing app. Might be that it can’t be integrated, which is fine but it’s not quite what it seems to be..Version: 2024.1
✓ Garbage.Doesn’t work like you’d hope. I thought buying whatever it was it charged me for would make it appear in my messages app and it didn’t at all. No idea what the charge was for. Don’t waste your time..Version: 2021.12
✓ Flick TypeWill not load to iWatch whatever I do. Developers instructions don’t work..Version: 2020.6
✓ Don’t work with other apps like messagesYou have to pay for that. I hate paying!.Version: 2021.12
✓ Not Free, RubbishNot Free.Version: 2021.12
✓ Freemium BaitScam. Watch keyboard costs $12.99 to unlock.Version: 2021.12
✓ Pay to use!!If an app is free to download in store it must mean there are some free features to use. This app doesn’t do that. In order to use it you have to pay £8.99 (!!!!) I don’t know if this is a scam or trick to avoid fees/get download numbers. But if you’re going to charge people then make it known from the start. Such utter nonsense!!.Version: 2021.8
✓ The app is actually $10Unable to do anything before having to pay $10 for a “free” app. Lol deleted.. what a scam Would’ve given 0 starts if I could.Version: 2021.12
✓ AwfulLoaded onto my Series 6 and it’s rubbish - didn’t input a letter despite multiple taps. Took four times as long to do a few words. Gave up on it.Version: 2021.8
✓ Won’t let me write my nameThis app has a great concept and it’ll be wonderful when they get the bugs out. But it’s not useful to me right now because it’s very inaccurate. My name is Jonny, but it repeatedly spells out Jimmy, no matter how I try to adjust where I’m typing. I finally managed to type out “Jo” but when I tried to add the “n” it changed the “Jo” and spelled “kin.” Trying to type other words gives the same sort of problems, so it’s unfortunately not at all functional for me. Worked perfectly on the video review I watched, but not for me. I look forward to the update, and will revise my review if it starts working for me..Version: 2000.3
✓ 😩💔Not working in my phone at all.Version: 2020.7
✓ Absolutely appalling.So I downloaded this app expecting it to be free (which it is and I know that) but then I was shocked to find that I have to pay a fee to actually use the app on my watch! That is the most greedy and obnoxious thing I have seen in a while! I mean to actually say “hey this app is free and really useful!” And then tell me that you have to pay to use the app which is free to download is obnoxious and i really hate the fact that the developers of this actually think that it is ok to do this. Absolutely terrible and a horrible rating from me. Don’t buy this if you want to keep your money!.Version: 2021.12
✓ Not as advertised!It integrates only with messages, NO other app. The developer is not honest when advertising the app, just another money grabbing developer. Don’t bother to buy!.Version: 2021.12
✓ BooShould have read further before spending money. I need this on apps like Facebook messenger and emails not for texting..Version: 2021.12
✓ Imagine charging 10 dollars to use a watch keyboardPathetic like actually.Version: 2024.1
✓ Getting really tired of all these apps going “free”I noticed this app was on sale so I bought it for like a dollar. I noticed that it didn’t have autocorrect which is necessary for any touch keyboard unless I unlocked it with an extra $8 even though it’s advertised with autocorrect on the images. Not two days later the app becomes “free” tired of these psychological marketing scams..Version: 2021.5
✓ Too greedy too fast!Just installed and it prompted me immediately for in-app purchase which I accidentally selected. Now have to unwind this. NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!! Too greedy too fast! You’ve lost me. Sorry.Version: 2021.12
✓ Rip offPay $3 for this app and does even work on Apple Watch.Version: 2020.2
✓ 🤨Easy to type, but cannot access it from messages. Have to go to app rather than typing from messages, confusing and pointless.Version: 2000.3
✓ Can only use for messagesI was hoping the keyboard would be compatible with all watch apps, but it only does messages. I paid £8.99 and it wasn't clear that the functionality was so limited..Version: 2021.10
✓ Useless appThis is the most useless app I’ve ever seen, it’s no wonder apple won’t reply or support your company 😂.Version: 2021.12
✓ Priceless!Never heard of this app until a few days ago - thanks to same usual dramas all over the internet! Also, noticed my 44” won’t support full size keyboard but 41” watch series 7 does! I hardly type on my watch but now that I discovered this app, I will go nuts with it! Also, bought the full version to support the hard work done by developer as well as his lawyers! ;) Oh, I see some folks are surprised they’d have to pay for this app! Well, it’s worth it - and it’s so good Apple copied it from A -> Z and sells you for a low price of $500 some thing all the way to $2000+. It’s called Apple Watch 7!.Version: 2021.12
✓ The New Marketing Scheme… they make you download it and install on your phone before you know the cost. Sorry, not buying it. Very disappointed..Version: 2021.12
✓ PleasePlease make an add on to WhatsApp. It’s the only messaging application I use! 😔😔.Version: 2000.3
✓ GarbageDoesn’t work at all on my watch. Garbage app. Would like money back. Was a waste.Version: 2020.13
✓ UnsubscriptionI have a problem unsubscribing this app and it won’t let me . I want to unsubscribe it.Version: 2021.12
✓ NiceWorks great, but seeing as I have to use the app to write my message then go to default message app to make sure it sent isn’t ideal and kinda makes this not usable for me I was expecting a plug in to the default messaging app this would have made this and keeping track of conversation much easier and faster I hope you use my donation to put in this into effect I’ll give 5 stars then 😎.Version: 2021.7
✓ Please add integration with iMessage app.I would be willing to pay more than approximately $2 for this service to have integration with apple’s iMessage. I think that it would be more beneficial if people were able to access the app from the iMessage on the watch. This app has lots of potential to be great, it just needs more development and time..Version: 2021.7
✓ Scam, can’t use unless you pay firstI thought the app would let me type on my Apple Watch, very disappointed that I have to buy it first. Not really free! Stay away!.Version: 2021.12
✓ Absolute scam - it is not freeI downloaded this app as it was free but as soon as I opened it I was told I needed to ‘unlock the keyboard feature on my phone’. In short to use the app you have to pay £8.99 that is not advertised. I do not recommend, waste of time..Version: 2021.12
✓ Messages onlyAs an app for messages, Reddit or twitter it’s great BUT the dev should be upfront about what this app does; I.e., the app does not work seamlessly as advertised (not the devs fault but why say it is??). Also, the app does not replace all keyboard inputs only messages and a small handful of other apps. This should be made clear but again isn’t. If dev was more transparent this would be a four star review..Version: 2021.12
✓ Who texts anymore?!Much better for typing but only works on text. Most of my messages are what’s app and it doesn’t work for that. Waste of £1.99!.Version: 2000.3
✓ DeceivingI got this app to be able to type my my Apple Watch, however, I can’t reply from my watch and I have to type on my phone. The only app it works is the emails. I really hope to get my money back..Version: 2021.12
✓ Ridiculous app!It's so very stupid that it costs ten bucks to use a simple keyboard on your phone. There are so many better options out there for free. Sure, you can use it on your watch for free, but the dang autocorrect is constantly incorrect. How do you turn autocorrect off? Let me guess, you can only do that in settings? Which to be able to access settings, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR! Who the hello kitty has EVER heard of that?!? Dumb move devs. Nobody with more than two brain cells is going to pay $10 just to be able to go into settings, and to have a simple, dime a dozen, keyboard on their phone..Version: 2021.8
✓ AutocorrectI paid for the app just to be able to disable the autocorrect, but it still does it …. Just wasted 14$.Version: 2021.8
✓ Does this keyboard have size changer in settings?I was irritated pressing the incorrect keyword does this have keyboard size change?.Version: 2021.12
✓ Pay to useI just loaded up the app on my phone and the first thing that pops up is the thing you need to buy for 10.99 to use a keyboard on your watch. I just don’t wanna use the draw every individual letter thing :(.Version: 2021.12
✓ Can’t use it for what’s appI have the Apple Watch SE and I did as much research as I could to find out if this works with what's app. I paid £7.99 for the app, installed it to find out that it only works for text and I messages which is completely useless for me. £8 wasted for an app that is of no use too me......Version: 2024.1
✓ Only for Texts. disappointingNowhere in the app description, does it say that it is only for texting. I had hoped that I might be able to enter text for keep, email, messenger and whatever other apps I want to enter text for. Entering text is fantastic though..Version: 2021.12
✓ TerribleThis app is a great idea mixed with the worst predictive text ever. Every message I try to type ends with me using the Digital Crown for every single word and some words are not even in the predictive text and even after adding the word to the dictionary the words will still not be able to be selected. This could all be fixed with the option to turn off the predictive text but this app won’t let you do that. The keyboard is great works amazing and knows exactly the letter you want to hit so I don’t understand why they would ruin this by adding a predictive text that changes the words you are typing. As an example every time I try to send someone a message saying “Hey” I type out H-E-Y and it will auto correct to “Get” every single time!.Version: 2000.3
✓ Almost Perfect...I was initially very interested in this app for its Apple Watch functionalities- as I often find myself replying to messages without my phone and scribbling them out is a huge pain. I love the keyboard layout, and the ability to scroll between words to pick the correct one. It’s a faster, far more convenient way for me to reply to texts when I am unable to use my phone. HOWEVER. I am literally unable to type out any words that the app doesn’t recognize, which is a BIG problem for me. I tried adding a few to the dictionary on the phone, but thus far it has not translated over. I know I have the option to scribble specific words if I need to, but I got this app to get AWAY from that. This would be a perfect 5 star review if I was simply able to cancel the auto-correct to type the word I want without it insisting on the wrong letter to find the closest word to its internal dictionary..Version: 2000.3
✓ Does not work on all message platformsBought this thinking I could use on messenger it dosnt work. Waste of money.Version: 2021.12
✓ Don’t buyThe app says it’s free but when you go to use the keyboard on your watch it says to pay not worth it.Version: 2021.12
✓ Doesnt support base apps. only texting.Types fine but it wasnt clear that it only works for texts and certain non default apps. i never txt , and predominantly use messenger so its useless for me and i couldn't even try its functionality without paying for it. too much money for what it is. you should just make it a paid app not pretend free with in app purchases. wish i could get my money back since it didn't do what i need it to do.Version: 2021.12
✓ I can’t “Unlock Now” or hit the Settings button without a pop up error, every time I try.I purchased the FlickType app back on August 28, 2020 from the App Store when it cost $1.99 and did not have in-app purchases and have it installed on my Apple Watch, but I cannot use customization features whatsoever, like swiping to type and autocorrect because when I open the iPhone app and am on the “Watch” screen, hitting either the “Settings” button or the “Unlock Now” button results with a pop up error that reads “Error performing request.” I have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it, and there are 0 results on this issue searching Google. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and have had no success. I am using it on an iPhone X running iOS 14.3 and my Apple Watch Series 4. I REALLY hope the developer helps me figure out what is going wrong because I had high hopes for this being on my watch and all I can do is manually type without autocorrect, so it’s basically useless at this point. This issue has persisted since I paid for the app several months ago and am so frustrated that I am apparently the only person having this issue….Version: 2021.7
✓ Problem with the autocorrectionI have the english app store so the keyboard does autocorrection into english even when the keyboard itself is in another language..Version: 2021.8
✓ Not freeThis app is expensive. Once downloaded you have to pay. Didn’t even get a free trial.Version: 2021.12
✓ App opens very slowlyWhen I open the app on my watch it takes a while to open. It says to hit the “+” sign for numbers and to scroll the Digital Crown for punctuation but neither option pops up when you press these buttons. Instead you have to do write text with your finger which leaves awkward spacing that you have to go back and delete. It takes longer to do all of this than using the original texting option on the watch. I purchased hoping this would make texting on my watch quicker and easier but it just lead to more aggravation..Version: 2000.3
✓ Not good at all.Very disappointed with this app. When you try to type a letter, it will do something else. Not worth 2.99.Version: 2000.1
✓ Said free but notFree app should be free not pay $10.99.Version: 2021.12
✓ It won’t workThis isn’t working for me, I got the app and it isn’t showing up on my Apple Watch Waste of my money.Version: 2000.3
✓ UtrhrbYehteibtdodhrtrobrirtr rdurbr tutieirb fuyrkrje gfueksh duteorur figrifht firigdbrk furiggnrufyfbrijritrotehid fydirb.Version: 2020.7
✓ Worked on watch, now it doesn'tNow asking for £5.99 & no record of a previous purchase.Version: 2021.12
✓ Free? LiesFree app, with in app purchases, that you can’t use at all unless you purchase it. Don’t waste the download time.Version: 2021.12
✓ AwesomeGreat app, and personally I really like it but after purchasing the full app the swipe and favourite contact doesn’t seem to be working…..Version: 2021.8
✓ Crap AppYou don’t need this application to use with the iwatch. Don’t authorize to purchase. Apple doesn’t refund for this application..Version: 2021.12
✓ Worst purchase in my life do not buyJust paid £6.99 and for what I’m supposed to have a keyboard yet I have to click the app to use it and it does is send texts….Version: 2021.12
✓ Refund!!!Don’t like it at all! Wants my money back ASAP!.Version: 2020.5
✓ DisappointedSo I downloaded this app for the reason being that it’s such a hassle to have to be scribbling a message off my Apple Watch and i thought this app was going to make it easier but it doesn’t .. it’s actually more of a hassle. When you receive a message and want to reply, it doesn’t even give you the keyboard option to reply off of there. You actually have to go open up the app on the watch look for the person and compose a message from there. I was really wishing this was going to make things easier, but it didn’t. I’m disappointed!.Version: 2000.3
✓ Doesn’t work as expectedSaw on TikTok and it gave the strong impression it would work as a default keyboard on my Watch SE. You need to use the app separate from where you’d normally use voice to text/writing on the watch and for that trouble I might as well pull my phone out..Version: 2021.12
✓ The app is not efficient at allThe keyboard does not work on apps such as ubrowser. In a nutshell how do I get refund and I already sent a mail regarding this when I found out the app is useless to me. How do I get refund.Version: 2021.12
✓ Immediately charges you without allowing you to try it first…This was the worst waste of $10! I only downloaded it because it described itself as allowing me to do something my Apple Watch wouldn’t only to find out it only did exactly what other FREE apps do. Most apps would give you Atleast a 3 day trial, even 1 day would have been better than forcing me to pay for it immediately before even knowing for sure that it did what I was seeking. Upon opening the app and seeing its functionality, which was unhelpful and trash, I requested a refund to no avail. I didn’t even keep the app on my phone for 15 minutes but it cost me money. Apple won’t refund it because it’s a “private app” and not one backed my Apple…..and I’m sure it’s developer won’t either. Just don’t download it….waste of time, space, and money!.Version: 2021.8
✓ Doesn’t workI tried installing it but it doesn’t show up on my watch.Version: 2000.3
✓ Don’t bother!!Doesn’t install on the watch. Zero support..Version: 4.3
✓ SCAM, READ BEFORE BUYGuys I know there are so many positive reviews on this thing, and trust me, it looks good, but if you are looking for something FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE, don’t get this. It does indeed say free for the app, but for the watch you have to pay 10 dollars 💸 for the Apple Watch ⌚️. So yeah, if u want something FREEEEEEEEEEE, don’t waste You’re space on this . Btw the swipe thing on the watch DOES NOT WORK..Version: 2021.12
✓ My ReviewFor me it doesn’t work I don’t maybe it’s because I have to download everything on my phone then it will download onto the watch because I can get App Store on my watch..Version: 2021.8
✓ Waste of time.Shows up in other apps as a keyboard option but not for messages, which it claims, and which I purchased for. I wish I could get my money back for this. Useless. >:(.Version: 2020.4
✓ Used to be greatThis app used to be fantastic. Now on the Apple watch it is unusable with VoiceOver and has been for months. The iPhone keyboard crashes regularly, sometimes requiring full reboots to get it to work..Version: 2021.8
✓ Doesn’t actually work unless you payIt’s a scam. You can’t use the qwerty keyboard unless you pay..Version: 2021.12
✓ MoneyY do u have to pay to type.Version: 2024.1
✓ It’s not actually a free appAs soon as you open the app you need to “unlock” the keyboard for almost $6 bucks. What a scam..Version: 2012.4
✓ Refund pleaseDoes not show up on my watch...please refund immediately.Version: 2000.3
✓ Was good… until it wasn’t freeApp worked fine when it was free on my Apple Watch Series 3, but when the app got updated from moving to my Apple Watch SE 2, it now demands I buy the keyboard, I’m sorry, how greedy do you have to be to make a KEYBOARD APP COST MONEY??????.Version: 2021.12
✓ It’s okSeems ok, swipe is good. However won’t work with WatchChat. Will allow you to type message, it then either sends the message 4 times or not at all..Version: 2021.12
