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 If a result becomes outdated or irrelevant, you can always remove or refresh it.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.

Big improvement over the stock keyboard
I really like this keyboard and being able to input words by swiping my finger instead of tapping each letter manually. I also really like the modifiable punctuation button. The button now includes more punctuation options than it did when I first reviewed this keyboard, which is a significant improvement.
A weird quirk at the moment is that I can't access the keyboard while reviewing apps in the App Store. (Yes, that means I painstakingly typed this out using Apple's lousy stock keyboard.) The Word Flow keyboard works fine in the App Store for searching (and in every other app I've tried it in), just not while reviewing. To clarify, if I am in the middle of a review, holding the globe button only brings up the default keyboards, and Word Flow isn't there even though it shows up just like it's supposed to in other apps, and even in the App Store if all I'm doing is searching.
Thank you! Thank you!
THANK YOU to Whoever came up with this and thought through all the details. You've made my life better! Truly. The accuracy when swiping is much better than the Swype app (which is also great compared to typing but which got inaccurate after updates).
I really like the angled keyboard for thumb-swiping. And I like the simple punctuation button. Please add microphone button as soon as Apple permits. (For now, I switch over to regular keyboard where there is a microphone button for voice to texting.
P.S. Why is GIF on a keyboard? I had to ask my daughter what a GIF is. Must be popular with the youngsters.
Thanks again!

Finally!
I downloaded this app when it was first released and have been waiting for the day they let you put borders around each letter/character. Finally happened with the update! Now I don't hit the wrong key when I'm typing (before it was difficult to tell where the borders where between the numbers/letters). To fix the "issue" that everyone is having I just had to add wordflow back into the keyboard in the settings. Also, toggle the "allow full access" off then back on and everything should work like new!
