Regressed and not actively updated

I changed from Microsoft swiftkey a few years ago because that was getting bad. Now I'm changing back because at least Microsoft update swiftkey. Last update on this, 4 years ago 😖

Good for quick conversation as an American that knows another language and just quicker for the proper grammar, but the keyboard gets stuck on separate languages, which is fine it’s just quicker for me to read in English because I’m not fully fluent in some of the languages I know but I use phrases and small talk, but still a good app would absolutely recommend, just not a 5 star for me
