Leave a Review Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard
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!Show lessEarle R

Finally gave out after a decade of use
I 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.Show lessshyedit
I love SwiftKey...but omg
I 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.Show lessitnickit
Glitches
I Iove this keyboard. However, recently I have noticed noticed it glitching . And reverting back to the Default Apple keyboard. This upsets me as I much prefer Swipe. Can this be looked into? Otherwise , I have no problems with this app/keyboard.Lady Heni

Hey everyone,
Recently after latest ios update the keyboard has started to glitch between the default ios keyboard and SwiftKey when typing which causes issues.
In order to fix this go to iPhone's keyboard settings and remove all other keyboards by clicking on keyboards > edit and only keep SwiftKey.
This will solve the glitching problem.
Hope it helped.Show lessMasterCool21

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 wellShow lessanakasapovska

Hi there, we are sorry to hear about your experience. We're constantly improving it, and it's very important for us to know what prevents our users from enjoying our app. We will certainly pass your feedback to our teams for future improvement. Thank you for your support!Pretty good app but..
..could be better.
Autocorrect and multi-lingual support is pretty amazing, the number row, emojis and gif searching, clipboard saving, full stop on the main keyboard all feel like massive improvements over the Apple keyboard
But accuracy feels like a big step back. There are many times I feel like I don't type as well and constantly miss letters, switch to the normal keyboard and have no problem.. some other things -
There's no way to edit themes. If you feel you made a theme too dark or light or want to change a colour or background or name, you have to remake it
With the number row on (which is super useful) it seems autocorrect has no use if you accidentally type a number in a word, you have to tap in the autocorrect field for it to correct a number in a word
It takes 2 taps to search for emojis (again super useful). I wish I could just press + once, start typing and it starts searching, then press < and start typing to go back to normal again
Apostrophe in the full stop hold-menu would be really handy
Again, accuracy. I prefer this keyboard but Apple's just feels way more accurate. I almost never miss on theirsShow lessWakellor
best keyboard, devastating bug
update: 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 againShow lessHayls.mp3
