Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard for Negative User Reviews
✓ One glaring faultGreat keyboard but there is one glaring fault they have overlooked. The jet liars remembers what you type (i.e. it shows up in the predictive section above the keyboard) for anything you type whilst in private mode. So if you want to buy a surprise for your friend but not let them know, swift keyboard could spoil the surprise. This is a deal breaker. It obviously doesn’t know when you are using private mode. I use it a lot to read newspapers (as some limit your free articles).Version: 2.4.2
✓ Has potential, needs workI see swift key has been added to the App Store. I love how you can flow type in the big key conformation on iPad and how you can have a shared clipboard between your Apple and Microsoft devices. However some important things need to change before it’s useable for me. The biggest issue is that there aren’t any alternate keyboard conformations like on the default iPad keyboard or the Windows 11 virtual keyboard. This problem is made even worse by the fact that it feels like you’re locked into SwiftKey, unlike the default iPad keyboard. You can only change keyboards by holding down on the emoji keyboard and going to next keyboard. And then it’s random what keyboard you go to. Then there’s the problem of not having a keyboard dismiss button like on the iPad and Windows 11 keyboards so you can’t make the keyboard go away. My final complaint is that the keys on the keyboard are a lot shorter than the iPad and Windows ones so it just doesn’t feel natural. TLDR: I want to use this keyboard because it brings great features to the table but I can’t because it’s lacking in so many basic features.Version: 2.9.8
✓ Simply does not workSupposedly acts like Swype and allows you to swipe to type. But swiping types only one letter. I guess if you allow full access (aka, here’s all my passwords) this might work, but no thanks, I don’t want this company to have access to my data..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Latest versions quite by it selfLatest version 2023 nov it crashes and the generic keyboard takes over.Version: 3.1.7
✓ Needs improvement although best for meI tried Word Flow and Gboard keyboards before I settled on this keyboard. Word Flow is deprecated so there is no point discussing it. Gboard has a couple of features that are nicer than this keyboard - example, searching emojis. However, the predictive capabilities of this keyboard are much better than Gboard or any other keyboard including Apple's built-in keyboard. This is why I keep using it. The negatives of this keyboard for me are: 1) Inability to search for emojis. 2) The predictive text bar doesn't show up in some situations but I can't tell what the reason is. 3) The emojis move around - especially the first part and if you try to send multiple emojis of the same type you may end up sending some other emojis if you keep tapping in the same spot. It doesn't make sense for the frequently used emojis to move while you are using them. 4) The period key doesn't have a single quote option. I find this annoying as I use it all the time. It would be nice to be able to customize what punctuation options are available on the period..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Please fix!I am a very big fan of this app. However, the talk to text feature is currently not functioning at all. Every time I try to use it, it says that there is no network connection available. Ive allowed it complete access and have made sure everything is on but it still isn't working. Please fix this so I can put my review back at five stars!.Version: 2.7.0
✓ It is very glitchy nowIt used to be a great keyboard but over the past few months it is very glitchy with Autocorrect. When you put in the suggested spelling after you put a space in, Autocorrect screws up the whole word and you get gibberish..Version: 2.9.7
✓ Broken and glitchy, crashes all the timeFor a month or so now, I think at around the same time the new bing and chat appeared, the keyboard is almost entirely broken. The keyboard visually “crashes” all the time and blinks, and each time it does that it breaks swift keyboard typing, stops typing whatever you where typing, lose all context of word corrections etc. You’ll have to fight to manage to type a long word before it crashes and resets again. The only reason I have this keyboard is because it provides swift / gliding style of typing in my language which Apple does not yet do, but with this functionality (and the keyboard) broken, it is entirely useless. Edit: saw a tip from developer elsewhere about deleting the app and reinstalling. That helped for me as well and solved the crashes and glitches. Leaving it at 3 stars for now since developer did not reply to me with this tip, and since it was not communicated anywhere else and just started crashing..Version: 3.0.7
✓ Fantastic appGreat, smooth, and very well designed, user friendly keyboard. My only problem is autocorrect, autocorrect is great with English but is awful with Arabic. It's always changing things that I typed correctly to weird unintelligible words that aren't even close to what I wanted to say so what I send ends up being gibberish. To be fair, fixing autocorrect for Arabic would be too much to ask because the lexicon is diverse and very regional; all I'm asking for is the ability to turn off autocorrect for a certain language by itslef. I can't give up the English autocorrect but I also can't live with the Arabic one... I hope that option is not too difficult for the developers to add. I feel bad for giving the app 3 stars but having to manually re-correct two to three words of every sentence I type is quite annoying and I feel like 3 stars is the best way to get through the developers. Will update my review as soon as the option to turn off autocorrect for certain languages is added, I check for updates of this app very frequently.Version: 2.4.8
✓ Dictation function won’t do punctuationThe keyboard is pretty good overall. My biggest gripe is that the dictation function insists on ignoring my punctuation cues. It needs to insert a period, not keep typing out the word period..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Needs to be updated fasterWorks horribly when a new iOS update is released. I'm on iPhone 12 with the new OS..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Hate the bing logoI'm going to uninstall now, after using SwiftKey for nearly 10 years, I hate the unremovable bing icon, I dislike the increasingly unreliable autocorrect, and the amount of crashes is simply unacceptable.Version: 3.0.1
✓ CrashesWorked great before latest os now crashes non stop.Version: 2.8.5
✓ Agree with previous 1 star reviewMy comments are identical to reviewer QQwertyy left on 27 March. So many issues. Most recent one to provide as a apsecific example: after typing in one message for so l long it's like the capability drops. Towards the end of my half hour email I tried to type "I'm". It didn't include the apostrophe. I back spaced to "Im" to update it and it did not suggest "I'm" at all. It just suggested different variants of "disappointed osmosis". DISAPPOINTED OSMOSIS. THATS NOT EVEN A THING ANYONE HAS TYPED, EVER. HOW IS THIS PREDICTED!!.Version: 2.7.7
✓ Very unstableKeeps switching back to iphones standard keyboard constantly.Version: 3.1.7
✓ FrustratedI like the look of this swype app and I like that it allows to have multiple languages with ease of transition directly on the same screen but it has quite a few flaws. If you want to swipe two letter word and the letters are close to each other, it won't swype. It's ability to predict your words is inconsistent. Short cuts to punctuation marks are practically none existent (unless I don't know them) I hate switching to the number keypad every time I want to use a symbol. The shortcuts they do have (to the right are a pain to use. With the previous app I used, each letter could be pressed for a second longer and it would instead display a corresponding symbol. For example hold g and you'd get a parentheses. Hold j and your get a colon, etc. Also the app would recognize when you'd swype names from your contacts and it allowed you to save words you want to app to recognize. I also don't know how to switch to the regular Apple keyboard from this apps keyboard. I love swyping but this app sometimes makes it frustrating to swype..Version: 2.4.3
✓ New update is a painI love SwiftKey particularly the flow function (and the cool designs) but the new Toolbar update means most of the predictions for my next words are abbreviated with ellipses so I can't tell what word I'm choosing. I use this feature all the time it's very helpful but this makes it very difficult. It's a poorly thought out design, why can't that function be down the bottom with the rest of the options? Please change it back SwiftKey.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Really.So I've used this app for some years. I have since switched to iPhone and all the keyboards I purchased when using samsung are no longer in my account. I can't restore them? This was before all the keyboards were free. I purchased several and I would either like the keyboards or my money. Additionally, the "contact us" within the app is a scam. Everytime I try to submit a question it gives and error message about my connection. I take it they don't want complaints. If you are thinking of getting this app, sure why not, it's all free now. If you purchased keyboards in the past and can't find them or access them in your account consider it money down the drain.. !!!! Update: someone did get back to me about this problem. And basically said that iPhones have limited capabilities on the keyboards which is ridiculous. And no I still couldn't get the ones I purchased on Samsung cause of this limited capabilities. And apparently no one is working to increase the capabilities so we could have more crea4ive keyboards instead of 12 they offer..Version: 2.8.5
✓ NEEDS FIXING BUT DEVS DONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ITI love this keyboard, it's the easiest to use and it knows my vocabulary so well now. But it glitches every few seconds now and makes it almost impossible to type, I look this issue up on google and it's a pretty common one that has been happening to most users where the keyboard keeps refreshing / being chosen over and over. It's frustrating and needs fixing ASAP..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Could be the best except for one massive flawGreat keyboard, best swipe functionality, it would be better than the stock ios keyboard except it gets into a very frustrating state where it deletes words that you have already completed when using the word suggestion. Please fix this annoying bug. Back to the awful stock ios keyboard for now..Version: 2.9.7
✓ KEYBOARD WONT POP UP!!!IT DEFAULTS TO APPLES KEYBOARD NOT TO SWIFTKEY! annoying !!!!.Version: 2.8.5
✓ I love SwiftKey...but omgI have been using this app since it first came out. I don't even know how long. It's the only texting app I have ever used....android and apple. I think it's the best, I've recommended it countless times over the years. Whenever I get a new phone it's the first app I download. Basically, I just can't type using other keyboards! That's what I want to say first. However in the last week or so, including right at this very minute, it is like this extra bar pops up ABOVE where the text is predicted and it makes the keyboard move up and down and blink. So whatever you're typing will get messed up since the keys all move horizontally. It is quite literally going to cause me to have a meltdown. 😂 The worst trouble for me personally is on FB Messenger. It happens like, every five seconds. I highly recommend this app. I pray to every God that Apple isn't making other keyboards glitch on purpose. Theirs is awful for me. Please please please to any developer reading this 😂Fix it. Please. And I still love SwiftKey..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Age verificationWhy would a keyboard app want age verification? After deciding to verify age using Google and logging into my Google account, it became apparent that SwiftKey wants not only my approximate age but also full access to all my emails. I don't think so. So now I get threats that in 3 days my account will be permanently deleted. I have used SwiftKey for years but I will not hesitate to delete what has become spyware..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Honestly I'm disappointedThis keyboard has real upsides but also some significant impediments to usability. Let's start with some positives: the themes are engaging and fun without drawing too much focus. It does feel like a lot of work was put in to mask c(auto-correcto, will be discussed in cons) make it responsive and stable (looking at you, ios g-board). The emoji-keyboard is usably searchable (looking at you meta messenger). The dictionary is editable (though with some issues) But the cons aren't tiny. It's obvious they're skimping on real world usability issues. The little +/x in the upper left is a pain to actually get into the hit box of. The autocorrect is filled with obscure proper nouns that often interfere with typing common words. The autocorrect also has some nasty habits of either inserting two words at once that may be a typo with no botton that can remove that, or it'll try changing a word id already determined correct and moved on from when I try to type a new word, often in ways that just make no sense. Common words needing to be added, like 'admin'...really Microsoft? Admin is a rare thing to type but 'Livan' is common enough that we'd need to have it from the box? Also, the majority of your users are adults, when we start using adult words and their derivatives could you just unlock other related ones because kilometers of typing in, I shouldn't have to stop and tap [redacted].Version: 2.9.2
✓ So good but needs updatedI've loved this app for years but since ios16 it's almost unusable. It's like the app is fighting with the standard keyboard and constantly flicking on and off. Please fix asap.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Claims to support Māori but....Missing the ā ē ī ō ū characters that are necessary for typing in this language. Please rectify ASAP. Also makes some really stupid mistakes which I have to backspace and correct all the time. Does, however, if you are careful to keep your swipes accurate, allow you to type far quicker than a traditional keyboard..Version: 2.3.3
✓ SwiftKey is a slow learnerI had Word Flow on my old phone and when that died, I had to find another swipe keyboard because apparently Word Flow isn't supported any longer (you could still use it if you'd already downloaded it though). I've been using SwiftKey for a few weeks now and it's so frustrating! You would think after that amount of time it would have 'learned' by now that I'm trying to type 'and,' not 'abs' or 'Ave,' or 'neighbor' instead of 'Bridgette' or 'beige.' Its predictive text capability is absolute garbage. A lot of the time it comes up with completely nonsensical words that I've never used and certainly aren't commonly used in wider social circles than mine. I tried to give it some time to see if it would 'remember' which words and phrases I use the most so its predictive text would become more accurate, but that hasn't been the case. I spend more time correcting its mistakes or just typing out individual letters (which obviously isn't the point of a swipe keyboard) than I do getting accurate swipes. I'll be looking for another keyboard and can't wait to stop using this one..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Cannot remove Bing button1 star for forced Bing. Use a different keyboard..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Microsoft is slowly turning ruining this appThey added a stupid Bing shortcut on it that cannot be disabled..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great App until its goes wrongI've used this app for several years and it's been great. Recently the keyboard has started jumping up and down whilst typing. I've tried to get support from SwiftKey but it's near impossible. Every angle told me to check the forums, which I did. The forums told me to delete and uninstall the app. After doing so, all of my data has been lost. Which means all my language, wording, typing style etc. Very frustrating after many years of using the app. No response or help from the actual human team..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Months later, I still hate the bing button😭😭😭 Please remove the Bing button 😭😭😭 No one ever taps it because they mean to....it's an infuriating piece of bloatware to what was a great third party keyboard. Same with the 4 tiles on the right of predictive text..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Minor niggles spoil itGave this a try because I need a way of removing the enormous 'free draw' key that appeared. Started out OK but there's a persistent notification to grant the keyboard full access. I didn't want to do that but there was no way of removing the notification, which on a landscape ipad is inconveniently placed just above the delete key, ensuring you accidentally bring up the option every time you mis-hit delete (which for those with chubby digits like me, is a lot). It also has an auto-capitalization I couldn't get rid of. Regretfully deleted..Version: 2.9.8
✓ It works but I don’t want to give an app full accessI don’t understand why the app requires full access to everything you type and input using your keyboard... it’s a keyboard... it worked well, but I uninstalled because I felt uneasy that I had to give full access to the app for it to work.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Sad to say thisI loved and used SwiftKey for so so long and absolutely loved this app. Unfortunately I have to agree with the many reviews here, as the app became unusable. It seems to refresh ever other second, making it impossible to even type a few words. Lots of errors in messages because of this, and typing became such a hassle I had to uninstall. I even got grey screens in between now, and the keyboard glitching and moving when typing. I’m so sad as this was the best keyboard I’ve ever had. I really hope this can be fixed. I’m not writing a bad review without purpose, I really hope something will be done so we can all go back to enjoying this app once again. I’m happy to pay for it! Before this happened it was by far the smartest keyboard ever made..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Want this to be good, typing is impossibleI’ve been a keen user of this SwiftKey for years, however over the past few months it appears to have progressively gotten worse when typing, just not reliable for typing standard words in the way the standard keyboard is. Also I noticed a few crashes and major delays, for example when opening spotlight. Understand this is probably more iOS than the keyboard, however that added with the inability to type words correctly doesn’t add up to a great experience. Would love to come back to SwiftKey if these issues can be resolved. PS i wondered if the issue is the remapping of the keys, so I have tried uninstalling and starting from scratch, sadly no difference..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Poor for Voice TypingSwiftKey used to be good for voice typing but has deteriorated rapidly. I am having to use my iPhone keyboard to do this voice typing because SwiftKey would make a total mess of it. It puts punctuation in completely the wrong place. It doesn’t seem to know my brother’s name and always puts in the wrong spelling of his name, no matter how many times I correct it. AsI have an injury to my right hand and cannot text at the moment a I’m therefore very reliant on voice typing. I am extremely disappointed with SwiftKey. I am thinking of removing it from my phone. I do not recommend this for people that need to do voice typing..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Hate the new micThe location of the new mic button is really annoying because it's so easy to hit it when I'm trying to open emojis. I have an iPhone X, so not a small phone..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Bing icon is not able to be disabledThis keyboard is amazing, and if the bing icon is able to be removed i will change this to 4 stars. I have used it for years and i love how it knows my typing habits and rearanges keys in the background to lessen typos. Its also highly customizable and you can customize a lot about it, with the exception of the bing icon, which currently cannot be disabled, and considering how useless bing is, this icon is similarily useless and feels pushy..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Still worse than uselessFurther update. Swiftkey is infuriating. It makes the most inappropriate changes, no matter what one does to try to stop it. For example, it changes 'in' to 'on' every, single time. SwiftKey is quick but dimwitted. SwiftKey is brainless. SwiftKey is moronic. I wanted to like Swiftkey so much. I have been struggling with it for the last two years. No more. Finally, I’ve deleted it. It’s impossible to train or teach. It’s impossible to remove the absurd replacement words that Swiftkey inserts. Here’s just one, telling example. I typed ‘not’. Swiftkey immediately changed ‘not’ to ‘nifty’..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Not good enoughYes, suggestions are good. But is not good enough at recognising the swipe and I have to constantly rewrite every word. I regret to say I had to go back to Google keyboard, which is not perfect but slightly better..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Seems to have broken over the last monthFor nearly a decade this was the best keyboard app ever. But something seems to have broken over the last few updates. It selects incorrect words, cuts words in half, etc. I really don't want to have to switch away but unless these issues are resolved I might have no choice.Version: 2.9.7
✓ How to trust a keyboard that needs full accesaIt is quite creepy that I have to grant full access to Microsoft and Google to use their keyboards. Brilliant keyboard but I just do not trust them with everything that I type..Version: 2.4.3
✓ The voice to text feature has been clunky at best and terrible at worst.I'm not sure what happened in the most recent update, but when it comes to using the voice to text feature on the keypad. Is miss acknowledging my words. It is placing words that I do not even say into sentences that I do not even construct. It is frustrating because I miss I have to either. And Annunciate my words very carefully. Speak slowly or type the sentence out by hand. This is a beloved feature that I have, and it's unfortunate that has succumb to whatever external factors that out of my control. Please improve your algorithms, your systems and your back end engineering in order to get the voice to text feature to identify my voice properly..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Best to worstI used to be able to combine tapping and swiping within a single word. Now it works like GBoard and other keyboards where swiping will automatically assume you want to start a new word. I can't start a word by tapping and finish it with swiping, which has become natural when using this app..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Completely Ruined!Been using this app since way before Microsoft bought it. And I didn't even mind the little label on the space key that says "Microsoft SwiftKey". But the new toolbar is horrific. First there is an ugly square button on the left (btw... it doesn't even match any of the keyboard themes) for Bing. Bing. Really? The one search engine that no one likes. And also there is no way to remove the button or even allow you to change it to a real search engine. The center of the toolbar now has a border which is ugly and they added an icon menu on the right that doesn't even do everything the original toolbar could do and now I have to press another button. Stop forcing Bing on people and don't fix what isn't broke. I'm praying this is just a nightmare and that everything will go back to normal by the next update or I'm shopping for a new keyboard. Addendum… You made the button a little more theme-friendly, but I still don't want it. And if you read EVERY other review since you added it, I am clearly not alone. Nobody wants Bing and NO ONE wants to be forced into it. Everyone has their preferred search engine. This is also why so many people are switching to Mac. No one wants to be forced into anything. This is wrong! Fix it! Update: Increasing to 3 stars as they at least have an option to remove that dumb button to that search engine that no one likes. But stop making changes now! Just fix the bugs and be done with it..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Annoying bugsBeen using this app forever but an update about a month ago made it really weird and glitchy to switch to emojis, I have to basically switch keyboards three times to make it work. Don’t know what happened and seriously considering switching to gramarly.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Lovely when it works, ugly when notKeeps force closing on my iPhone 14 pro max. It does it about 30 percent of the times I use it which is pretty significant. Happens especially when I browse emojis or search them. It would close and go to default keyboard. I'll have to leave the app I'm typing on, wait 3 seconds then return. Super annoying. Please fix it's been like this for months.Version: 3.1.7
✓ Great until they added the stupid bing search buttonAnd wont allow us to remove it . Or change it to a search engine that the wotld actually uses...Version: 3.0.0
✓ Good app but..Good app but the keyboard keeps switching back to ios version. It's been doing this since I've bought my x 2 years ago. Besides that though, this app is far superior to gboard as this app remembers things you're writing with awesome predictive text. It even remembers email addresses which is great as when I sign up to things, I don't have to write the whole address, as your keyboard will use that address for predictive text. I've just seen that you can now personalise the keyboard which is great. It would be nice to be able to make the swipe trail a bit thinner though..Version: 2.5.8
✓ What changed?!I've used SwiftKey since it was first released on iOS, and while there have been bugs to iron out over the years, I've never experienced so many issues with it as I have lately. I'm not sure what was changed, but everything I type is now absolutely riddled with errors. I have to go back and correct everything I type now (including this review) because something has gone very wrong. When typing, the word I want appears in the predictive text bar, but after clicking it to insert it, the incorrectly spelt word that I actually typed is inserted instead of the correctly spelt word I clicked in the prediction bar. My partner also uses SwiftKey and is experiencing the same issue. I'm not sure what changed but I wondered whether the devs changed the width/spacing of the boxes that words appear in within the predictive bar. If so, that might explain me consistly hitting the wrong button now or something. In any case, it has rendered the SwiftKey almost completely useless and its driving both of us crazy. I've persevered with the issue through multiple app updates now, hoping each time that the issue will be resolved, but that hasn't happened. After years of usage I'm about to start the hunt for another third party keyboard..Version: 2.7.8
✓ Forcing bing on youAnd their promo screenshots don't show it..Version: 3.1.7
✓ New toolbarGive us a option to replace the upper bar that now has the bing search icon with just suggestive words. I don't want to use bing as my search engine. And I don't need or want the icon on right of that bar either. These changes make my desire to use SwiftKey drop significantly..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Predictions considerably worse, slowerThia keyboard used to be amazing. But from last year at least it started to make wrong predictions, sometimes getting slow or even freezing. Also its usability got worse since there's no option to ask the app to relearn my types in Gmail, twitter or Facebook. Unfortunately I'll have to migrate to another one..Version: 2.7.6
✓ Finally gave out after a decade of useI started using Swype about a decade ago. Happy with the swype feature which pther keyboards picked up on. Every now and then it'd make ridiculous word suggestions on common words which I'd always hafta correct (eg. when I swype "always" it somehow becomes "ashjay" which I didn't even know is a word). Fine, nothing's perfect. The swype function was very responsive and emoji suggestions were on point. No way was I using the crappy Apple keyboard. However, more recently the keyboard keeps refreshing making typing a nightmare. It started switching keyboards even though I set Swype as my default keyboard. I even deleted the apple keyboard such that swype was the only keyboard left to no avail on the refresh issue. I had to give up ater a decade's use and switch to Google Keyboard, which does not give me this issue. Wishing y'all the best, Microsoft Swype. 3 stars for when y'all were working over the decade, but from how the app's acting now, 1 star..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Fix the crash, please.I love this keyboard. It's seriously the best one out there for my iPhone. The only problem is, since Apple's update to iOS 17, the keyboard keeps crashing and going back to the original Apple keyboard. It's very annoying and hasn't been fixed yet. Update November 23: tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still did not work..Version: 3.1.7
✓ Still doesn’t workI saw there was an update, but unfortunately it still flickers and vanishes after every word. Please fix somehow because the default keyboard’s swipe is so bad it’s maddening 😭😭😭.Version: 2.9.8
✓ Dual functionsAlthough I enjoy SwiftKey I've recently moved from Samsung to iPhone - that's like going back in time 5 years - big mistake- and I'm disappointed they're is no punctuation sitting below the letter keys on a long press and they're is no number row..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Crashes constantlyKeeps crashing with latest ios.Version: 3.1.7
✓ Good keyboard, but the latest update added so much unwanted bloat.Hey Microsoft, I’m not interested in having Bing in my keyboard. I’m sure it’s cool for the people who want it, but there is no option to turn it off. It makes the keyboard so tall it almost covers half my screen. Why do I need to take photos or chat to Bing from in my keyboard? I just want my keyboard to be a keyboard and nothing else. Please add an option to turn it off. Cheers..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Only two languagesI gave SwiftKey a shot because the autocorrection of the standard keyboard especially for Finnish is absolutely horrible, and Apple provides no way to enable autocorrection per language. (It's absolutely necessary for e.g. Spanish due to have use of accents). However I regularly type in English, Finnish, Spanish, and sometimes German, and SwiftKey only supports two languages.... and makes it extra clumsy to switch to a specific standard keyboard. It's OK if it only supported two languages at a time, but it only supports two languages at all, having to go all the way to the settings app to change them. It would be good if I could e.g. fix English as one of the languages, and quickly switch the second language as with the standard keyboard. Why does the space bar only allow switched layouts and not between multiple languages?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ On it 2 languages at a timeEverything was going well until it let me use only 2 languages at a time, I need 3 🤔.Version: 3.1.7
✓ Like it but it has major issuesI really do like this keyboard. However 95% of the time it doesn't work, I open up the keyboard and it blanks out and switches to the iOS keyboard. This only happens with Swiftkey, I have had no such issues using Gboard or anything.Version: 2.8.4
✓ Bummer keyboardI had a keyboard that swyped better than this one until it continuously froze. It guessed my words accurately and didn't change my typed words after a second time. This app is a let down, the amount of times I have to retype a word because it wants to supply a different word is ridiculous. I've had this keyboard for a few months because it's the only option aside from manually typing like everyone else, but it still feels like a waste of time. I give it two stars since it still cuts down the amount of time I could've spent putting in the text individually, but there have been a number of times that I spent more time trying to get this keyboard to work and I doubled the time that should've been non existent. Really disappointed. My expectations were too high, I guess because the other keyboard put in the word I needed and I didn't have to be so concise, on the other hand, when I am annoyingly concise with running my thumb across letters to be accurate, the keyboard doesn't pick up the word 🙄 this rating has a third of the original words, I had to delete the other two thirds and retype them. I continue to look for another keyboard that's accurate and efficient. If they update this one , that would be nice (:.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Hate it more than I Love ItThe swipe feature was the main reason I downloaded SwiftKey. And I love that feature. I'm not into the whole customization aspect so I just picked a keyboard that looked most like apple's stock keyboard. The sizing and spacing was different so it took a little bit of getting used to. I tapped a lot of wrong keys in the beginning. The word prediction and auto-correct is TERRIBLE. It is so frustrating to use. I'll type a very normal word that I have typed MANY times correctly and it will change it to some random word. It slows me down a lot. You'd think that the advertised feature that the app "learns your typing style to know what words you choose and use frequently" would actually work...but it doesn't....not even in the slightest. I feel like I am too committed to switch back to Apple's keyboard or a different 3rd party...but overall, I hate this keyboard app way more than I love it. It slows me down a ton while trying to the something simple. Even the swipe feature will never give me the words I want. So yeah, I'm not a big fan unfortunately..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Nothing new that I could seeI could not get on with this keyboard. It may be that I haven’t spotted parameters I can set to help make it useful. I am using an iPad mini 6. Apologies in advance if I have missed something. First the keyboard Didn’t pop up and Ihad to go and select it. Then I was presented with a very ordinary keyboard image that was way too small. My finger was too big for the keys. There was no forward delete - something I pray for. I could not see predictive text although it has to be there. What was swift about this keyboard? I just could not see a single reasonto transfer tothis product. could not see the point. Now I am back with the Apple keyboard, which still overlaps the text I have just typedand has to be minimised to see what I have just typed. Come on Microftpull your finger..Version: 2.9.8
✓ BadDo you really have to allow full access for this to work? Or does the swipe text just not work? Not very good either way. Just a worse keyboard..Version: 2.4.2
✓ A mere shadow of itselfThis keyboard is absolutely great on the other guy os, but on ios it is properly awful. Incomplete ponctuation and no numbers on long press so you have to switch screen all the time, can't size it properly, no navigation keys, incomplete dictionary giving nonsensical suggestion, most annoying keyboard I've ever used..Version: 2.8.9
✓ Best keyboard but oh so glitchyI've been using SwiftKey for 7 or 8 years now, mainly for the duel language abilities (not having to switch languages is amazing). I have tried switching to others or finding anything that anywhere near as good and have found it impossible. That said, the reason I've looked so many times is because it is so glitchy! It tends to be fine for a while, then it will get slower and slower in loading up, eventually causing the phone to load up a different keyboard instead, and eventually getting to the stage where it won't load at all. Usually I find uninstalling and reinstalling works, but not always. At the moment I'm completely unable to use it since the last update. Such a shame.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Used to love this program, but no longer friendlyFurther update. Even with Flow turned off, if I'm not clean at lifting my thumb off, it drags to the next letter. I'm diabetic and have reduced feeling in my fingers/thumbs so I'd prefer the keyboard to take my first tap, not where I release my thumb. I'm not overweight at 170kg and 188cm tall, but I have big hands. Why can't I have a keyboard with bigger buttons? Also, the autocorrect is increasingly random. I've flushed, uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. I now have to read everything and retype half my words, all on an iPhone XS Max! I can't make the buttons any bigger! But, there are no alternatives☹️.Version: 2.9.2
✓ It's good, though currently voice dictation is unusable due to auto-punctuationThe number row option is great, slide implementation is very good, auto correction is good, though there aren't enough options (I'd. Turn off auto punctuation) and thus voice dictation is crippled: Voice dictation : 1. Please remove the annoying screen that appears when selecting dictation that flashes "one moment" and obscures the entire screen - it's too slow (though perhaps this isn't possible) and distractinh 2. When voice dictation. Is being used.,punctuation marks are inappropriately inserted. Such as they are here (I am using voice dictation to write this part). This makes voice dictation. Unusable., unfortunately. There is no way to disable. Automatic punctuation. When using voice dictation. When you make a slight pause during voice dictation (to think or allow dictation to catch up) punctuation marks are inserted that are inappropriate. Which is very annoying. 3. When using voice dictation. Please remove the. Screen that obscures the keyboard that says tap to pause, and instead have the keyboard to allow us to. Do a mix of typing and voice dictation as you can on iPads. (Inappropriate punctuation again inserted here) I use voice dictation extensively., the above issues. Are Deal Breakers. As. Voice dictation. Is unusable. On iPhones at the moment., from my perspective. Also, when using voice dictation. After a certain amount of time, perhaps 20 seconds, the screen turns off..Version: 2.9.8
✓ Not suitable for iPad miniSwiftkey used to be my favourite keyboard but it is unfortunately not possible to use it on the iPad mini. I use the number row quite often and when that option is turned on then the keyboard takes up almost 90% of the screen in landscape mode (which is how I mostly use my iPad). And then I can't see where, or what, I'm typing. I wish they would make the keyboard smaller, similar to Gboard (the app I'm using at the moment). I wanted to give feedback to Microsoft but I couldn't find a feedback option on the SwiftKey website..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Got worseI use to love this app but it is getting worse and worse. I have decided to delete it because it keeps predicting words that I haven't even heard of. I'm better off just using the standard keyboard on my phone.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Not as good as it used to beI wanted to love the keyboard but it's just not as good as I remember. The auto correct is not great and is annoyingly percistant. It will correct a word after a comma, and then if it corrects a word incorrectly, you go back and fix the word, but after you tyle the comma again it forgets you just fixed the word and incorrectly corrects it again and again. When using the swipe keyboard it's annoying that it adds the space immediately after you type a word, and if you swipe the wrong word, you have to backspace through every letter of the word instead of pressing the backspace button once to get rid of the entire word and swipe again. Completely ruins the flow. And because it inputs a space after you swipe, the word suggestions only suggest the next word instead of suggesting possible corrections for a word you swiped incorrectly. Also I don't know why but I somehow miss letters on the top of the keyboard all the time and it messes up my words, I think it's because they keyboard thinks I'm too close to the word suggestion bar..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Haptics deadTyping feedback is dead on 11 Pro Max..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Great keyboard, but!!!!Great keyboard. A load better than the apple default keyboard. The latest version of this app is not tailored to iphone se screen size. Predictive text now too small and some predicted words can not even be shown. There is lots of wasted space on the right side of the predicted words that could be utilised. There is one major feature missing. The two-finger trackpad which apple now has on its default keyboard is not in SwiftKey. Put that option in and you get 5/5 stars from me..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Need cursor back!With the removal of 3D Touch there is now no longer an option to hold to get a cursor. I am switching back and forth between the stock keyboard because this is an absolute necessity. Please implement it ASAP!.Version: 2.7.0
✓ Great keyboard but crashesSwipe typing is much better than traditional keyboard and its better at learning and adjusting your typical key locations over time but it had started to crash up and require an app or keyboard reload much more often in recent releases. Still recommended..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Rubbish word predictionI do like it but it seems to have terrible predictions. For example, I was searching for Kong dog toys, now every single time I open the keyboard it tries to recommend Kong as a word to type. Why? I only used this word once and probably never will again. It's been trying to recommend it for days now. I don't even understand why it tries to guess words before I've even typed anything, because there is no way of it knowing! It should only recommend basic words, or nothing at all until I have started typing.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Pretty badLet's try typing isabella..... That worked, but it did not capitalise. Let's try putting an explainable mark after a word with one space. Wow! Yup, it deleted the space dammit. This keyboard is okay but really annoying cos is these sorts of stooooopid issues..Version: 2.4.4
✓ Swipe is not workingDont get if you want it for swiping. It does not work unless you give them Full Access to your typing.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Used to be great, now not so much. Great if you want more typosI’ve had Swift key for a while. I used the love it! The swiping, the customization, the autocorrect, everything. However, recently something changed, and SwiftKey has been causing me more typos than when I use my apple keyboard. For whatever reason it stopped autocorrecting a lot of the time, BUT autocorrecting me when I don’t want it to. It’s really annoying At first I thought it was a combination of my horrendous spelling and mediocre typing skills. But recently my Apple keyboard switched on, and I noticed how much faster and correctly I was typing. It was like shedding the skin that is swiftkey. I realized that it was swiftkey and not me (okay maybe a little me, but the apple keyboard is able to keep up better with and for me). One feature that I do like is the emoji searching (something apple doesn’t have) . They could improve the results though. After getting really annoyed I finally deleted Swiftkey, I’ll see if I end up downloading it again idk.Version: 2.7.1
✓ DisappointedIt appears that after each update, SwiftKey forgets all previously learned styles of typing. The predictions which are shown when using Flow are so off mark and senseless. Regular daily used words are suddenly replaced by ridiculous place names. Flow also comes up with crazy suggestions to normal daily used words, after an update. It takes a long time and is frustrating to have a to repeatedly go back to delete a word and end up tapping out words instead of using Flow. Some words, eg. Remember, I have ended up making shortcuts in my phone's settings, simply because every single time I tried to type using Flow and remember was needed, so many random predictions kept coming up. There needs to be an option in settings to switch off place names. I use a keyboard with an English version for Australia because there is no New Zealand English version. Generally there's no problem with this, except for all the crazy place name predictions. The US English version would be worse in this case. Whatever used to happen long ago about SwiftKey learning about how you type and learning about your language style in order to provide appropriate predictions - no longer works..Version: 2.7.6
✓ Not compatible with iPad Pro 2020(!)Doesn’t work with the Apple physical keyboard case for the iPad Pro 2020. Even in tablet-only mode, you cannot access all Settings in SwiftKey, because a menu bar hides the topmost option in each menu. This is true in both landscape and portrait modes. I really liked SwiftKey for my old iPad Pro 2, but it is currently unusable on the iPad Pro 2020. Uninstalling, and going back to the Apple standard keyboard, which over the past few years has plagiarised a lot of the SwiftKey functionality anyway, and is almost as good by now. Microsoft - get your act together, please get a bunch of new iPad Pro 2020, with original OEM Apple keyboard cases, and fix the SwiftKey incompatibilities!.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Hate the Bing updateLongtime user of SwiftKey. Was a great predictive keyboard and quick in learning my flow gestures. I liked that I could use one keyboard to write in both English and French, though I wish it offered Korean as well (for years, developers have expressed no interest in adding certain languages). However, I hate the addition of the Bing hub. Everything about it is terrible and offers nothing that I want or need. Have deleted this keyboard and am now using another..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Long, long time user. App is not as good as it used to be.I've been using SwiftKey for many years now. I've reached almost a million auto corrects and completed words. First, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE ADD THE OPTION TO HIDE THE PERIOD KEY IF YOU'RE USING THE SPACEBAR TO ADD A QUICK PERIOD. The app is a good alternative to the stock keyboard, but lately it has not been correcting obviously misspelled words. For example, trying to type "is" and accidentally typing "ks". Even when you block a word from being predicted again, it will keep showing up. I do like the prediction feature. It works pretty well for me and I find it very useful. Sometimes I don't even need to continue typing, I can use the prediction feature to type entire sentences. Honestly, my biggest problem with the keyword is lack of customization. Not in terms of appearance, but functionality. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE PERIOD KEY. You should be able to create your own layout, or at least have some control over the layout. Please, devs, please put as much effort into the app as you used to. AND PLEASE LET ME REMOVE THE PERIOD KEY!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ What happened to this keyboard? (Glitch fix also)I’ve been using this keyboard for so long, way before microsoft bought the company. This was by far the best keyboard out there and definitely better than Apple’s stock keyboard. Not sure what’s happening lately but Switfkey is very glitchy now and so unstable. Keyboard keeps flashing on and off, moving on its own or just not showing up. I didn’t use to have this issue before and I hate it because I’ve spent so many years using this keyboard and It knows me so well. Please stop trying to change things that used to work just fine. People were happy with how this keyboard was before and that’s something that shouldn’t change. Anyone else out there struggling with the glitching. The only work around it I found is to uninstall the app and reinstall it , go through the whole setup again. It will fix it for now but the glitching will again after they release another update but you can repeat this. The only thing is, you will lose your typing map and some of the learned vocabulary..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Poor performanceI don't know what has changed recently but predictions and my texts are pathetic. This keyboard just annoys me so much. Only rubbish, nonsense predictions and auto complete on very poor level. Words with space in between letters which you can't remove from dictionary as they keep coming and they don't mean anything. What a dumb keyboard, I literally click on letter and it is typing different letter. Heat map that is supposed to be smart is only making things worse and you can't switch it off or reset it. I would have to reinstall app constantly. I only use it because I don't want to give my data to any shady company like Google.Version: 2.8.9
✓ Great appLove this app and nice to see the ability to use the microphone for dictation finally on IOS (to bad it doesn't work - constant no wifi or network connection error).Version: 2.7.0
✓ Microsoft bloat and mismanagement has killed another productUPDATE: I’m finally done with Swift Key. I have an iPhone 13, so the latest and greatest, so phone performance can’t be the issue. About half the time I enter a text field no keyboard opens at all. When Swift Key does open it is delayed so the first couple of keystrokes don’t get entered. So essentially 75% of the time I need it, Swift Key flakes. Also, now that developers are mandating secure text entry you can’t use a non-Apple keyboard anyway so I’ve uninstalled Swift Key and going back to using the stock Apple keyboard all the time. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Don't get me wrong this is still one of the best keyboards in the app store but its quality has slowly degraded since it was scooped up by Microsoft. Microsoft has applied their normal "let's stuff 10 lbs of extra unnecessary functionality in a 5 lbs bag" mentality. The two top problems I've run into have been: #1 The auto-complete dictionary has exploded so it pulls up far more words than necessary which slows down my typing tremendously. I end up having to intermittently spend 10-15s deleting these unnecessary words so I don't run into them the next time around. #2 Microsoft has changed the responsiveness of tapping the auto-complete bar to where it appears a slight slide while tapping the center word selects the word on either side. I have to constantly go back and correct these 'oops' which negates the reason for having the auto-complete..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Works OK but not great.This app is a little bit better than the built in Apple one but had some very annoying glitches. For example most time I swipe "and" it gives me a proper non or a name starting with a capital A, such as Andy or Andrew. There is no way to correct this and it never seems to learn. This random capitalisation is a common error happening many times a day. These are rookie programing errors and there's more to say but that's a flavour of what needs to change. The keyboard has alphas and numerics which is handy. In summary a potentially good product made mundane by poor implementation..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great app,mostlyI get really frustrated because the app does not automatically recognise a period. Full stop. Can you please put in the option for the keyboard to automatically place a space after a period, and auto capital for the next sentence. Also find it tries to predict my next word before I put finger on the screen. Please just learn better from my using the app to get better at recognising how I type!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Three stars because of support.Wrote an email to support and they never got back to me..Version: 2.3.6
✓ Last update messed up the AppSince the last update on iOS I have lost the ability to switch between two languages which are downloaded and switched on via the app set up. I used to long press on space bar and choose a language of two. Now same press on space bar brings a useless message "Drag your finger to scroll through text". I can only switch to another language by switching off the first from the app set up. Also the site of the cursor doesn't change I switched from one language that writes from left to right to another that writes from the opposite direction Please rectify this urgently.Version: 2.9.7
✓ Used to be good.Not sure what happened but it no longer learns my typing style, the only way I can access my account is through Siri and the number of keyboard themes has been greatly reduced..Version: 2.5.4
✓ Worst keyboard ever!!!!Still no update on this !! Swift key use to be the best keyboard for iPhone. Since adding a extra microphone next to the spacebar it’s shocking! I don’t just use swift key for ‘sliding’ I often use to use it to text normally but for its productive feature. This is now IMPOSSIBLE due to the stupid, pointless mic icon. Constantly pushing it by accident which then takes you off your message to a different screen all together . I am not the only one that’s complained about this yet swift key chooses to ignore loyal customers and leave the poor design as it is. The keyboard is now too small and why do we need TWO mic buttons on a keyboard???!!!! Am currently typing this using my good, reliable Apple keyboard and that’ll b what I’ll continue with since swift key have no intentions of listening to their loyal, long term customers!!!!!.Version: 2.7.8
✓ Why so much information to protect privacy?You asked for google access to prove my age to then ask for access to my emails?! What purpose would that be for? After that you asked me to prove my birthday... Sounds like you just wanted access to my emails I then want to look at your privacy statement and am intrusive third party cookie needs to be accepted first. I like your tool but your need for the personal information and your use of this party cookies may not out way the benefits you provide.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Loved it until...I've been using the app on my iPhone for a couple years but recently it's been glitches alot. It's getting to point where it's almost unusable, I'm not sure where this popped out of but I think it's because of the new ios 15 update. Hoping the flickering keyboard gets patched soon so I can continue using the keyboard..Version: 2.9.2
✓ I used this app until...I used this app for so long. If I am not mistaken I even paid for it, but instead of telling the users you could use Bing to search they enforce that horrible icon to the in the screen at all times. I happily uninstalled..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Please Add Long-Press Characters.When using Swype you could access numbers and characters by long-pressing the on screen letters and it saved time because you didn't have to click the "123" button to access them. Would you please add this feature to the Swift Key keyboard please? So, if I long-press on say the letter "x" it would input an exclamation point "!". To me that saves so much time instead of always having to click the button to access those characters. You could put all the numbers for long-press on the top letters and all the other characters everywhere else. I really hope you'll consider my request please,thank you. It would save so much time and make typing with Swift Key so much faster in my opinion. Thank you again if you'll consider this request and hopefully implement into the keyboard. Or maybe it could be an option to turn on for users like myself who are used to it or find that they like and enjoy how much quicker it really is. Also, when I go down a new line on my iPhone 8 plus, it doesn't pull up the screen, it keeps hiding what I'm tomb topping typing and I have to keep pushing the screen up on my own. Would you please fix the app so that i don't have to do this? It's very annoying that I cannot see what I'm typing until I thumb up the screen on my iPhone. Thank you and thanks for all the work and time put into this nice keyboard..Version: 2.3.5
✓ What happened?This app was so amazing. It is the worst lately and I got used to having it. It selects rediculous words and every sentence I typed is wrong. Isn't it supposed to learn my habits? I am so so fed up with it. I will now type this again with the word it selects when I hit enter, despite spelling it correctly on my end. So you can see how terrible it is. ...... This app was some amazingly. Its is the worst l'atelier and I got used to having its. Its selects rediculous word's and every sentenced I typed is wrongful. Isn't it supposedly to learning my habitation? I am some some fed up with it. I will now typed this again with the word it's selected when the hitting entertainment, despite spelling it's correctly on my ending. Some you can see how terribly it is. ----- (I typed this second one first....And this is how good it is... I have used it for years and it used to it so great. What happened?!).Version: 2.7.8
✓ Switched to Google GboardI've used SwiftKey from the beginning before Microsoft bought it. Worked great. It went downhill since it was bought, now totally unusable and buggy since the latest update. I switched to Google GBoard. It's a shame that Microsoft ruined a very good app..Version: 3.1.7
✓ They could steal your detailsThis app record everything you type on it and has the ability to send that info back to the developers. This could mean they might steal your credit card details for example. Don't mess with this app..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Its a shame Microsoft abandoned Word FlowThe swipe prediction of SwiftKey pales in comparison to Word Flow. Word flow would let you swipe fast and would recognize every word...with SwiftKey it doesn't recognize words if you swipe fast, so you have to spend time swiping slow or spend a lot of time correcting. SwiftKey's only saving grace is being able to swipe complete a word from mid word to correct it. however that doesn't make up for its faults. Also they need to add an apostrophe to the first page punctuation button. It's a shame Microsoft abandoned word flow for this. Also if this program want backed by Microsoft I wouldn't be using it.... It REQUIRES FULL ACCESS which I'm hesitant to give even though it's backed by Microsoft. Who knows what data could be getting mined from what you type, that Microsoft isn't aware of. Either way, with all that said, it's the best option on the market since Microsoft took down word flow, so I use it.... But it's far from perfect. Maybe one day Microsoft will start up word flow again or integrate it into SwiftKey... One can only hope..Version: 2.1.1
✓ GlitchIt's been working amazing for 7 years and now it's glitching so the keyboard moves while typing..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Not pleasedI have had this app just about a year now. Having the ability to swipe and not chicken peck on a cellphone to send text and email is huge, but some basic features on this app are inconsistent and worse than earlier versions or similar apps (hard to know switching from Droid to Apple). For instance, as others have mentioned, it completely forgets previous frequently used words not even suggesting them, instead inputs words I have never used or selected. Where do they come from? I have never heard or seen anyone use this crazy/foreign/ dated language. It does not appear to be improving with usage, as I thought was implied. And to the above point, I use similar language frequently and I don't know why I often have to repeatedly correct it from crazy words I never use. Why isn't it improving? Next, when I begin typing a word or compete a word and it offers a suggestion and I choose that word from the suggestion box it does not input it but leaves the few letters I typed and enters a space after the incomplete word, or just enters a space after the wrong word. I have to go back and select the word again or completely type the word myself. What's the use in suggestions then? I am growing increasingly frustrated with this app and beginning to question if chicken pecking might be faster and more hassle-free..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Updates - SwiftKey not recognised as default keyboard keyboardAnyone else have the issue where after an update IOS doesn't recognise it as a keyboard but uses the default apple one? It's listed in keyboards as the default. Even switching off Full Access and back on again doesn't make a difference yet it recognises SwiftKey as I write this review but not on anything else. Only way to fix this is to uninstall it and reinstall it. Second update where this has happened - really annoying 🙄.Version: 2.8.4
✓ Excellent until it’s notThis keyboard is everything I want; it just doesn’t perform. The keyboard constantly gets replaced by the original iOS keyboard, and customer support doesn’t have an answer 2 months later. Letters drop out from time to time; for example, earlier today the letter ‘N’ stopped working, so I had to switch to the default keyboard and back again. This has now happened so many times that I am uninstalling until a fix is in..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Was good until nowBeen really enjoying this keyboard until the last iOS update - now it jitters and glitches so much, I’ve had to remove it and go back to the iOS keyboard. Last update from the Application Developers was 7 months ago, so looks like no-one works on this app. Don’t bother with it until they resolve this glitch bug as it makes the keyboard unusable..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Can't use Gifs in InstagramWhy can't I use the gifs when I respond to a comment on Instagram? It renders the gif option useless. After choosing the gif you want, you tap it and it says "now paste above" you try and paste but there is no option to, only "select and select all" I sent an email to Microsoft and they just washed their hands with my query telling me to delete the app and reinstall it and back up and sync all my data! What a load of nonsense, it's them that's the problem not the app! Sort it out Microsoft!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ I love swift key but....So I think I have had swift key since the iPhone 6 came out so definitely a long time and I loved it no complaints up until now. I downloaded it originally because of the swipe feature which of course is amazing. But lately for the last couple months there has been a bug or something making the keyboard not function as well as before. Now when I swipe text the keyboard goes up and down slightly and when that happens if I'm in the middle of a word the swipe will cancel and I have to do it again. Also it is just so slow. You know how your phone acts soooooooo slow right before it's about to die? That's how this keyboard is like even with full battery. It's just so annoying because I downloaded this so it can be easier to text but it's been awful lately. I didn't say anything a couple months again because things happen and break but eventually theres a new update with bug fixes. This has not yet happened and I am disappointed. I'm gonna look for another keyboard use that wont cause me these issues. I really hope you guys get it together soon! Would love to use again and provide a good review when it functions well.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Used to be greatIt was fantastic until they added Bing. They completely rearranged the button layouts for my clipboard and other buttons and placed a blasted Bing button that I can't remove. Being habituated with the clipboard in its location previously, I'm now opening up a search bar every time I want to paste something. Either give us an option to move the buttons around or get rid of this blasted search engine..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Keeps glitching while typingWhen are you going to fix the app? It keeps glitching out while typing it’s so annoying. There’s nothing we can do to fix this as well. This is such a great keyboard app but with this glitch/bug. It’s going down the drain..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Disabling Tap Map would be great.I use this handy keyboard for two languages. Unfortunately due to holding my phone differently at various times my tap map goes haywire and it registers the wrong 'predicted' letters. Making a regular reset inevitable. Would be great to be able to disable the letter prediction on the keyboard as often it shows an r then types a t for example as it learned from my Tap Map..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Great app but bugs with latest ios!This is such a fab keyboard app and I've used it for years, I really don't want to have to delete it and go back to the ugly ios default. But unfortunately with one of the most recent ios software updates it seems to have caused a bug where the keyboard now glitches - it jerks up and down when typing and kicks you off the built-in emoji page after about three seconds which is really infuriating, especially if you're scrolling around trying to find one. It's not a huge issue but I would really love a fix to be released soon please!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ IOS 17 SwiftKey doesn't work.It will keep crashing on iOS 17 so useless to install until they bring out fix.Version: 3.1.7
✓ Still needs a lot of workI find it frustrating that this far into machine learning there doesn't seem to be a keyboard that allows for consistent, fast typing on a small (iPhone 5) screened touch device Main problems that still cause me a lot of grief are replacing a word (correctly typed) with a similar word (presumably because I use it more) e.g at the moment it seems to be replacing 'food' with 'good' whenever I type it. Sometimes incorrectly spelled words aren't corrected or are split into several small words or a much longer word, which seems silly as obviously if I didn't hit the spacebar twice then I wasn't intending to write three separate words, and if I tapped 5 letters I wasn't trying to write an 8 letter word There doesn't seem to be much adaptation to learning acronyms or abbreviations (e.g. etc). Would think this would be quite easy to programme. The swipe function is great for one handed typing, but other than this i'm not sure that this keyboard leads to less errors or faster overall composition than the stock iPhone keyboard. I certainly wouldn't pay for it at the moment. I long for the day when I can pay for something that will allow me to carry a small device on my pocket and write away without having to check every message for typos and stupid autocotrect errors..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Good until recentlyIPhone 8, iOS12.1.2. I've been using this for several years now on different devices. Just in the past month or so the keyboard has been hanging often, freezing or most commonly crashing completely. Such a pain for something so good..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Minor issue that has me searching for another keyboard**EDIT** PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!! It's been long enough. It's only gotten worse and this keyboard is becoming unuseable. I don't like any other keyboard but I've started having to use other ones because this one has become so horrendously glitchy. I can't type 3 words or tap an emoji from my recently used before it glitches out and resets, not to mention the times it just doesn't show up at all except for a blank screenface. Removed stars until this gets fixed, if it does. **ORIGINAL POST** I've been using SwiftKey for years and it's THE BEST!! I really can't find a better keyboard. However, for the last maybe week or so, it keeps glitching while I'm typing. Sometimes the keyboard takes too long to show up in the first place and then it keeps like "resetting" while typing every few seconds, so I have to wait while it "reloads" before I can continue typing, even when typing something as quick and short as "I'm almost there". I thought maybe it needed to be updated but there's no new update. So I'm hoping this is just an issue that will be fixed in a new update quickly. I just tried a few other keyboards and none of them are nearly as good, and the default iPhone keyboard is crazy awkward with how it's set up for emojis and punctuation..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Needs an updat ASAP.Been using SwiftKey for a few years now and all of a sudden it doesn’t work. App crashes instantly.Version: 2.7.0
✓ The Best Keyboard for iPhone: 1 StarI used the Swype Keyboard for years after it was out of support, until an update removed it from my phone. I don't expect another product to be exactly like Swype, but every keyboard on the app store is garbage, including this one. It is the best, though. A little customization would be nice, for example, I have to manually space after every comma and there is no apostrophe shortcut, but there is a shortcut for emojis. Hallelujah, who needs a comma shortcut when you can send a smiley face? As a 40 year old man, I find emojis to be very helpful in none of my communications. I actually rated this keyboard two stars but having this review gutted by autocorrect was enough to bump it down to one. Still the best keyboard available for iPhone by a mile. Edit: I wish I could leave less than one star for this garbage keyboard. It is absolutely infuriating with its lack of intuition. It doesn't learn anything and I send nonsensical messages constantly, as all its predictions are based on the first letter you pressed. So if you want to type "keyboard," and you start too close to "j," you'll end up with "jester" if you're lucky, but most likely it will get lost and just retype the last word you input (instead of "my keyboard" you'll get "my my"). I've had to make over 60 corrections to this paragraph. Still the best iPhone keyboard..Version: 2.9.8
✓ Not helpful anymoreSo, I initially installed this app because the regular iPhone keyboard was terrible at predicting my Spanglish and because of the beautiful choices of aesthetics it provided. I’m bilingual and I’m constantly switching between the two. Swiftkey was excellent at first doing this, but as time passed not only did the bilingual perk went away, it doesn’t even predict correctly for just one language. It constantly suggests words that I do not use and it doesn’t improve because it does not add the words I’m using. Also, I reserve my right to cuss and for some God forsaken reason it won’t let me do that either it just switches it with another similar completely unrelated word. I decided to give the standard iPhone keyboard a try and it just turns out it is either pretty much the same, similar or better than Swiftkey was at first. Nevertheless, I don’t need the ongoing struggle Swiftkey was giving me so I deleted the app and stayed with the original. Hence, this review because I’m open to coming back if the developers fix all of the issues I’ve been and everyone’s been complaining about..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Best keyboard, devastating bugUpdate: dev replied telling me to uninstall and reinstall. i’ve done this many times, i even updated to the latest ios to see if that would resolve the issue. i’ve reinstalled on the latest ios. please don’t reply if you’re giving me the “unplug and replug” equivalent of customer support, can’t find anywhere ti even submit this bug to microsoft, which is sad because like i say: this is my favorite keyboard ever. wish i could attach a video of the bug. the keyboard keeps clipping / changing position while i type, rendering it unusable, this has been going on for months and i can’t find anywhere to contact microsoft abt this. literally my favorite keyboard ever! and the key map adjustment feature saves hours of editing by cutting down on your mistakes. an absolute gem - if the keyboard worked without glitching. it’s been the most frustrating thing having to switch back to apple’s terrible default keyboard and being unable to use this one. for the love of God please make it usable again.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Changes keyboard on its ownJumps to the default iOS keyboard every 5 seconds. It’s impossible to use..Version: 3.1.7
✓ Picks up random words from surroundsThe latest weird glitch is that, if I am typing and there are people around me from other nationalities, suddenly my word suggestions as I type become something I've never typed but what they might? Name places become Asian or African, for instance. This app has become glitchier as time has gone by. I read reviews and if they aren't good, I won't update - and haven't - so it's surprising that the problems others got after updating are now plaguing my keyboard. I disabled any way of updating unless manually but still these problems appear. The latest is that when I put in a question mark, the preceding word as well as the question mark deletes. Fixing what isn't broken is rarely good... It causes unforeseen problems. Make this app good again please, even if you have to revert to what worked before..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Great while it lastsWhile id love to give it a 5, after about a week of using the keyboard, it bugs and none of my apllications will recognise it. Support tries to say some apps might have issues. But in reality, it works one day and stops the next, for EVERY app. It means constantly uninstalling and reinstalling every other week.Version: 2.8.5
✓ Very goodI have been using SwiftKey as pretty well my only keyboard on an ipad and also,previously, on a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet. I was very happy with it but a recent "upgrade" on the ios version has compressed the height of the keys, especially in landscape mode, to such a degree that is become almost unusable. It used to be very good but I'm now thinking of dumping it altogether. Also, the ipad version would be much improved if there was the choice to have a small keyboard rather than one that is the full width of the screen, particularly when it is in landscape mode. It's too big and too much hand movement is needed..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Bank account and credit card numbers!I disagree with third party keyboards having access to my Bank account and my card number through historical key pushes. Why is this spyware allowed to retain sensitive and private information when asking to allow full access to Swiftkey keyboards?.Version: 2.5.5
✓ How can you know what to do!?I’ve tried this three times over the years and every time I both rage out at its inability to not ignore its own preference when I respelled it’s mistaken autocorrect and firstly its preference for words that can’t be used more often. Who uses Mope more than Nope!? Never again, would rather hunt and peck at my keyboard, I end up doing it with Swype anyway. Also I love that the current ‘top’ review explains how your keyboard ‘drives them insane’. Your top review complains more than it compliments, even its subject is a backhanded compliment. Okay I’m done..Version: 2.4.0
✓ It was good, but there is room for improvement.Overall, the experience is satisfactory. However, the most significant issue is that if your phone rings or the screen goes off while you are composing, you will lose all of your text..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Going to no more use keyboard because of bingGoing to no more use keyboard because of bing. If developers will not remove this annoing Bing from this app.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Awful. Constantly freezesWhatever they've done to SwiftKey in ios 14 is awful. It constantly freezes for as long as 5 seconds before i can do anything. And i have to reinstall the app as much as 4 times a month to fix it temporarily. This hasn't been fixed at all since the release of ios 14..Version: 2.8.5
✓ HUGE potential to be THE keyboard of choice for everyoneIntegrated with Bing's relationship with ChatGPT, this keyboard has incredible potential! Unfortunately, right now, its swiping and dictation technologies are terribly and painfully inaccurate, even when swiping slowly with purposeful pauses on the keys you want it to use. You must have the ability to be patient in its learning curve and trust that the Microsoft team wants to get it right. They have yet to harness the power of their AI with the swiping and dictating. Once they wake up to that power to have AI look at the context of each word in a sentence and/or paragraph and get the words, spelling, grammar, and punctuation correct... wow, there won't be a keyboard that can touch it. That's what I'm going for. In the meantime, I'm pushing forward with the huge productivity losses I'm currently experiencing - it's painful. This message has taken 15 minutes to write due to all the frustrating errors it's making. Keyboard swiping has always been somewhat inaccurate because it places nonsensical words in place of what you really intended and autocorrect has a bad reputation for changing the words you WANTED after you have moved onto a few words after the fact. AI can fix that if Microsoft hasn't already realized that fact..Version: 3.0.2
✓ IOS 15 IssuesI've been using this app ever since I got my iPhone a year ago and it has worked flawlessly but since the IOS 15 update I keep having issues where the keyboard disappears for half a second and then comes back and it's gotten to the point where I have had to go back to the normal iPhone keyboard as I just can't type anymore. If you could please resolve this issue that'd be great!!!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ No Flow UndoWithout an undo feature for the last word (when using Flow), it takes far too long to undo the last word that was autocompleted. This on its own makes this keyboard worse than the default keyboard..Version: 2.9.5
✓ Broken and abandonedHave used and loved for several years now. As of the last update me and many people across the internet have had it regularly crashing, with the only “fix” being to reinstall it. This saves it for just under a month before it becomes unusable again. I’m done with artificially inflating the installs for an abandoned app, don’t install it..Version: 2.9.2
✓ SwitkeyI would give 5 stars, if they add number rows like BULLKEY apps.Version: 2.1.1
✓ GlitchingHave loved this app for years and now all of a sudden it’s glitching A LOT. PLEASE fix it!.Version: 3.0.1
