And I know it’s not that much money but COME ON!! I mean after that it’s great but to be honest it’s not even worth £7.99… ### 2/5 — unhappy *2026-01-05, version 2024.5* I like the idea of this app but when I went to unlock the redt of the features it said it was a one time charge of 7.99 and afterwards i received a notice that i was charged $41 from the app. not happy ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-01-03, version 2024.5* It’s now showing on my Apple Watch ### 1/5 — Átb*szás *2025-12-30, version 2024.5* Ne’töltsd le, még le is húznak, kamuuuuuu ### 1/5 — Stupid pricing *2025-12-27, version 2024.5* U use to be able to type for free but it just keeps getting more and more expensive im sick of it ### 1/5 — Es completamente de pago *2025-12-03, version 2024.5* No pierdan su tiempo, te pide pagar para poder utilizarlo ### 2/5 — good *2025-11-17, version 2024.5* A must have ### 1/5 — Lame *2025-11-08, version 2024.5* $8.99 per month just to us a keyboard!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Costs money *2025-10-25, version 2024.5* Not worth it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — how is this free? *2026-08-31, version 2024.5* .. ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! DUMBEST APP EVER *2026-08-30, version 2024.5* Why is it EVERY SINGLE WATCH KEYBOARD on the App Store is FREE to download, but you have to PAY to actually use. Unacceptable. Flicktype, watchkey, all of them. They do this to jack up their Downloads counter to appear more trustworthy. It’s not our fault that Apple implemented the DUMBEST typing methods on the Apple Watch. A Keyboard should be built-in in software. Someone should make a free solution. Apple, implement it or find a solution to these watch SCAMMERS! ### 1/5 — Eh *2026-08-17, version 2024.5* So, really good idea at first. I got this on my watch and was insanely happy that I didn't have to speak to talk, or write out everything that I wanted to say. But when it was finally downloaded, I realized that it's a huge hassle. Man, you had to go into iMessage to read the text, the go out and go into FlickType, then you had to swipe to text which is a good idea in theory, but it just gets it wrong 60 percent of the time. Then when you finally had what you wanted to say you have to click send, then scroll through ALL your contacts to finally find the guy who was texting you and by the time you hit send hes already doing smth else. I would buy this if I were you. ### 1/5 — Horrible I hate it *2026-07-25, version 2024.5* You can’t touch a single thing until you pay. I AM NOT DOING THAT. ### 1/5 — bad *2026-06-13, version 2024.5* awful. why do i have to pay to use it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-25, version 2024.5* Tried emailing for support and got no response. Definitely did not work at all for us. ### 1/5 — Not free. *2026-04-21, version 2024.5* Advertises as free but you can’t even use it without paying. Such a shame as it was free before. ### 1/5 — Don't get *2026-04-12, version 2024.5* Have to pay to add to wacha ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-03-18, version 2024.5* Absolutely rubbish ### 1/5 — Not a replacement for your default input. *2026-03-09, version 2024.5* The only way to use this keyboard is in its own app or apps that were specifically made for it… you cannot use it in the Apple Messages app or any other app. I wish i knew this before paid the 7.99 for it. Very disappointed and not worth it at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Flicktype-watch keyboard *2026-08-14, version 2024.5* It help's me type on my applewatch. ### 5/5 — So fierce *2026-05-29, version 2024.5* It’s perfect thanks! ### 5/5 — Very bad *2026-02-24, version 2024.5* I don’t want to pay ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-30, version 2024.5* Perfect for my sons Apple Watch ### 5/5 — Flick type *2025-12-16, version 2024.5* Why do you have to pay for it again if you already installed it.
