Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard 4+

After moving to apple from andriod a couple of years ago I downloaded the SwiftKey keyboard app. It was terrible and had very little support on iphone with the keyboard failing to pop up etc. However, I decided to give it another go this year (2016) and it has gone back to its best! The support is there for 99% of areas and I didn't realise how much I missed the swipe feature and how much better SwiftKeys predictive text is than the apple keyboard! It's amazing. Only thing I would like to see is a replica iOS keyboard skin either for free or for sale. As there is a limited number of keyboard skins available at the moment. I would also like to see force touch implemented into this keyboard better as it currently doesn't use the feature at all.

Totally worth the download - give it a chance and you will be typing so much quicker in days.

Update as of January 2017: after trying every keyboard on my iphone I am finding SwiftKey to be the best. I don't understand some of the negative reviews on here. I have had zero problems with SwiftKey since using it about a year ago. I'm using an iPhone 6s. It is still the go to keyboard on the iPhone and should be given a chance to prove itself.

Update as of November 2017:
Afted a number of changes SwiftKey is back at the the ultimate ios keyboard! Now only if we could have SwiftKey access for lock screen and entering passwords, I would be soo happy!

SwiftKey is the only keyboard I use now. I find it more accurate than the standard Apple keyboard, as well as slightly more intuitive. It also learns new words and styles quickly, although this can be a bad thing; it has a tendency to learn typos very quickly and then not forget them for a while. It also only supports two languages, which is very frustrating. I regularly use three languages but can't switch between them; I have to enable the default Apple keyboard to be able to use the third language. I don't see any reason for this and it just limits the keyboard. My final major gripe is that you can't change the colour or style of each language keyboard. For example, the only difference between the Spanish and English keyboards is the letter "ñ" and sometimes I miss it and can't figure out why the keyboard is acting so strange...turns out I'm trying to type in Spanish on the English keyboard, or vice versa. It would be great to be able to change the theme/colours of the different languages to better distinguish between them. As of writing this review (24/07/'22) it still doesn't seem to support the latest emojis either, which is minor but, again, should be a very simple and quick thing to add to the app. Apart from these I still recommend the keyboard to people, but there are some very simple ways that it could be improved.

I have been using swiftkey since past 5-6 years if I remember it correct. I love the app more than any other competitor apps in the store. Even though I have switched around 5 phones in these years, the keyboard I always preferred is swiftkey! It has always been my favorite. It just reads my mind and saves keyboard strokes by showing the right suggestions. Kudos team for such an amazing app.

I have one point to ask you guys for support. I love the fact that voice typing feature is introduced in this, I was waiting for it for so long. I use iPhone 7 right now and use a lot of emojis while texting. The voice typing icon is very next to emoji icon and I always accidentally presses voice typing instead of emoji icon which is so annoying and the voice typing takes me to a different page for a moment and comes back. I have to wait until I can finally switch to emoji. Could you please place voice typing icon in a different location of the keyboard where it is not near the most frequently used keys? Like if you can place it in top left or right corners or something where we can use it as and when required. Also please try to avoid the screen switching thing that happens on pressing voice typing, it's a bit exhausting for the user. Just a little feedback from my side. And that's why the 4 star. Otherwise you should definitely get a 5 star rating.
