It's now been roughly 2 months using SwiftKey and I would put it slightly above the level of "garbage". If there was a toggle to turn off predictive replacement, I would do it.

          I'm amazed by the customization levels (they are the highest I've ever seen on a keyboard app).
          The only thing that I still can't get is how to see the arrows.. I'll play more with it. I'm going to try to install it as the system keyboard :)
          Thank you for the suggestion!

              I went with SwiftKey after the demise of Swype. After a couple of months with it, I cannot say it's anywhere near as usable. Predictions are poor, a high percentage aren't even close to what I tried to swipe but it's still better than the hunt and peck I find with the pre-loaded OEM virtual keyboards.

              Microsoft needs to review the effectiveness of it's predictive logic and get on with fixing it properly.

                Hotkolbas, 23 Apr 2018Hah I was about to say the same. I find swift key has gone... moreYup. Using a stock keyboard provided by your current phone has a better experience than that Bloatware app.

                      I find swift key has gone past it's use by date seeing as manufacturers like Samsung have already four a great keyboard with no bloatware

                        I don't use this app though. It's really a Bloatware to my smartphone.

                          I've deleted the stock Sony one and replaced it with SwiftKey becauseIt has extra keys like the arrows, tab, which makes it so much easier to write code.
                          It still has that annoying feature of adding a space after placing a dot (wtf!) Renaming files or trying to write a link is a PAIN in the az!
                          SwiftKey should do something about it.. Like adding an option to turn this stupid feature off!
                          Hey SwiftKey, some of your users are writing code too, not only posting things on fb!
