I just switched from android default keyboard to SwiftKey as I purchased it years ago and enjoyed it enough whenever that was on my steam powered Samsung phone.

It's still a nice keyboard but there is one very simple piece of advice I want to offer the developers:

Fire up the default android keyboard for a while. This is your direct competitor, the free, default application that your app purports to replace and supercede with superior features. So why is it then, that in upgrading to this app, I have to now learn how to type without a delete key. Sure, I have a backspace key, but when I'm trying to place the cursor in between two letters to remove a letter that SwiftKey aggressively inserted I can only delete backwards. Why? Why if the cursor happens to fall on the wrong side of the letter am I forced to fudge about with the tiny cursor that will barely register the difference between being in one place or the other. You're a keyboard, include the features of a keyboard. That means find a way to keep arrows and other essential keyboard functions like the classic delete key within easy reach.

This is without even getting into the bizarre way that the app spazzes out from time to time and starts duplicating words and inserting broken malformed crap into sentences.

We're talking about a keyboard here, heat maps and infographics are not what people usually have in mind when selecting what keyboard to use. People came here for a more accomplished and smooth typing experience. After many years of absence, seeing the same issues that were present multiple smartphone generations ago isn't really acceptable.

Please make your premium app better. Thanks.

As of version 7.4.3.38 on my OnePlus 6T, this new ultra-annoying feature has popped up. For every word that is written, there is a red underline under the word. If I click on the word to correct a mispelling, a MENU pops up instead asking if I want to save the word to the dictionary or if I want to delete it.. It is so annoying that this menu keeps popping up all the time.. I don't want to add it to the dictionary or remove it.. I just want to correct my mispelling...

How can I turn this off? I've been using SwiftKey for almost 10 years, but this "function" is a dealbreaker for me.

SwiftKey was accidentally deleted, can I get my dictionary back after my new download? It really has learned a lot in all the time I used it. I would be so glad to get back all the words. Please ♥ help!

On the Windows 10 Mobile keyboard, we had the option to move the cursor easily using a "control" on the keyboard itself. That made typing a lot easier and I think it would be a good buy for SwiftKey

I'm using Swiftkey's Vietnamese Telex input, there is a bit confused when typing English on it.

It treats all my word as vietnamese, so there are problems with it, for example

I must type WORRD to be correct as WORD, but WO is not a Vietnamese word, why do Swiftkey add the ? on top of O when i type R (WỎ), this is a waste of time.

Type GOOGLE.C and then O will make the word become GÔGLE.CO, what? there is not way to discard the Ô if i type O again

COORDINATE, if i remove letter by letter from the right to COOR, when remove R, it become CỎO, what again?

Hi...

"Unfortunelly" i've found "the problem"...
Google is blocking the comunication between Swiftkey and Gmail, because Microsoft don't agree yet with the new Google privacy politcs...

So, I created a new account, but not Google Account.. I created a new Microsoft Account and the sync is working on my device... BUT.. i've lost all my words that was in google account...

So...

I have a sugestion: the Microsoft Swiftkey could create the function "IMPORT" words... The function "export words" is working. I did the download and it's all ok... So, if microsoft create this function, all the problem will be solved...

OOORRR... ACCEPT THE POLITCS OF GOOGLE, MICROSOFT!

FIX IT!

I wrote a review on the Play store and Swiftkey answered on the play store (for all to see) and said I should follow a link they provided to get the matter attended to... sounds all very nice and concerned/professional, BUT after spending 15 minutes writing the problem, adding a photo to show the issue etc, I submit the form and all I get is a screen saying I can go to the forum. 

WOW.... so Now I must do the same thing again, all my efforts from 25 minutes ago lost. 

VERY ANNOYING

Swiftkey, if you say "Hi A. We'd love to help so please drop us a line here https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new with any additional information/screenshots that might help and we'll see if we can figure out together what's going on!" I would hope you mean it, but clearly you do not.

This seems to have been brought up many times on the forums over the years but it still doesn't exist. I have 2 major issues with shortcuts I'd hopefully like to see addressed by the time I get a new phone as it was a pain setting this one up.

1) please please please for the love of god let us sync or export/import pinned shortcuts.

2) can you enable special characters for use in the shortcut. I would like to be able to use something like "_home" to autopopulate my address, something to differentiate it from just a word without making it too long or jibberish

Swift key did not update with upgrade. How do I find my previous stuff

I want to personalize the theme, but when I use a white background, I don't have a chance to choose a dark letter, is there a solution?

How can I use flow typing on Chinese keyboard (swipe from letter to letter)?

Thank you!

Hi,
I'm a big fan of SwiftKey keyboard. Recently, I got the Galaxy Note 10, there is a feature in the Samsung keyboard with using the S pen, it can convert hand writing to letters. It is a cool feature, and for that I almost gave up SwiftKey.
I'd there any way I can use that feature with SwiftKey keyboard? Is there a specific app for that?
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this bug lies with Snapchat, SwiftKey, or Facebook, but for the last few months, if I have any open floating chat heads from Facebook Messenger and SwiftKey is selected as my keyboard when I open a chat, the entire screen flickers rapidly. If I select the default Google keyboard as my input, it does not occur. If I swipe away all open Facebook messenger floating chat heads, it does not occur. The behavior also does not occur in any other applications, or in any other functionality of Snapchat except for chat (taking pictures/video, watching stories are all fine). The only workaround I've discovered via searching online is to enable the "Disable HW overlays" setting in Developer Options for my phone, which unfortunately does not persist across device reboots.

I have opened concurrent cases with Snapchat, SwiftKey, and Facebook Messenger all with the same details, since this behavior only occurs with the specific interactions of these 3 apps.
