Best texting app

    Bought swype for my HTC one and tbh was very disappointed. When I save words to the dictionary it never suggests them nor does it pick up which words I use most frequently. It also doesn't seem to be very sensitive. Very disappointed, the free texting app I had on my samsung galaxy s2 was way better.

    Am I not using this correctly or is it just a poor app? Anything better?

    Funnily enough I actually meant SwiftKey. What's so good about it?

    I actually found swiftkey very good. It predicted a lot of what i wanted to say after learning from my previous texts so i found myself just prerssing the words on the suggestions line rather than actually texting. I didn't buy it after the trial expired so i use Touchpal now but only cos it has the old fashioned 3x3 keyboard with the abc, def, ghi and so on

    I love SwiftKey, I've had it on 3 phones now. I couldn't use the stock samsung keyboard after using it.

    The flow option is excellent once you're used to using it too.

    Swiftkey is excellent, one of the first purchases I recommend to anyone new to an Android device.

    If you don't like it you could try the stock Google keyboard.

    Using Swype keyboard on both my tablet and smartphone. I never seem to get any problems. Had a problem updating on Google Play store,got in touch with the application developer and got sorted. Has anyone else using this application?
