Description
Word Flow for iPhone, a Microsoft Garage project, is a blazing fast keyboard that comes with search (GIFs, restaurants, and more), free customizable themes, swipe, and Arc mode for comfortable one-handed typing.
Blazing Fast
• Whether you’re tapping or swiping, Word Flow predicts what you’re trying to type and corrects mistakes. It even predicts things from the web, like GIFs, restaurants, and more.
• Word Flow intelligently suggests the next word in your sentence, and gets better at it over time, as it learns based on your typing patterns.
• With access to your Contacts, Word Flow predicts the names of your contacts so you can go even faster.
Personalized – just how you like it
• You can customize Word Flow background using one of the images included in the app, or use your own favorite image.
• All the images included with the app are free.
Best for one-handed typing: Switch to Arc mode and easily reach keys on larger screens for a more comfortable one-handed typing experience.
Search built into the keyboard:
• Easily find and share GIFs, images, and emojis to better express yourself
• Find Contacts – when you need to share that person’s phone number
• Look up restaurants, news, videos, facts, weather forecasts, and much more
When you find something you want to send, just tap it, and that result will automatically stay in your history to make it even easier to find it again. If a result becomes outdated or irrelevant, you can always remove or refresh it.
Word Flow on iOS is optimized for iPhone, and supports English language only. Not all features are available on iPad.

Easily The Best Keyboard For Any Phone
I love the features and functionality. The comfort of the curve is amazing for one-handed typing, and I expect this innovation to show up more and more on mobile keyboards. The customizable look is fun to play around with and is actually pretty deep. This is easily a Five Star keyboard app, but I have to take away a star because Microsoft appears to be pretty stingy with the updates. It has been well over two months since that last update, but shortly after that Apple sent out an iOS update with support for the latest emojis... This means that if your using this spectacular keyboard (which I always am) and you want to use the new emojis, well, too bad: you have to switch to another keyboard. :(
On a different matter, for some reason (and I have noticed this with all third party keyboard apps, so I'm not knocking this keyboard for it) if your device is on this keyboard, but you are typing with an external Bluetooth keyboard, you cannot use an apostrophe (') on the external keyboard. If you switch back to Apple's default keyboard, apostrophe works again. It would be cool if a third-party keyboard app-maker could figure this out, and even cooler if it was THIS keyboard app's maker...
Great Keyboard
I've used the Word Flow keyboard and I really enjoy it. The ability for any user to utilize the swipe option for texting or entering words is simply seamless, simple and reliable. I think the layout and responsiveness of the keyboard is really nice. The feature of orienting the keyboard to either side of the screen for users to type with one hand is simply ingenious. I need to give credit to Microsoft for making such a wonderful app available on an iOS device. I would just recommended being able to allow the Word Flow keyboard as your immediate default keyboard when responding to messages on the lock screen by using 3D touch, would make it absolutely amazing. However, I realize that might be an iOS issue, as opposed to an App issue. Anyways, this is a really great keyboard, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun edition to their iPhone. 😁
My go to keyboard, but…
I have to admit I do love everything about the keyboard except a couple of issues. The fact that you cannot use voice to text. I have to go to a different keyboard to do that. Also the word recognition isn't the greatest, there are other keyboards that recognize much more quickly what you're trying to say. It would be extremely helpful to be able to go in and delete some of the words from the dictionary that keep popping up instead of the word that you're trying to type in. For example last names like when I type Bill, it should automatically recognize my last name instead of trying to put in Gates or Shatner or any other last name. If I could delete those last names in the dictionary it would be much easier and a lot less annoying. Otherwise an amazing attempt and one-handed typing is very very helpful thank you.
