    While I understand that this idea to swipe words are new to iphone users it's been around years for android users and frankly is a fantastic feature.

    I am reading in the ios8 thread how people are hating it but tbh you need to give it a chance. It is in my mind the best single feature of ios8 and used, and loved, on both droids and windows phone for a long time.

    Swiftkey is free and the others are around a dollar.

    How to use it

    Swyping still takes me a lot longer than using typing/predictive. I hated it on Android, I still hate it. I guess it's down to individual preferences though.

    SwiftKey is immediately installed on any Android device I have. It's an excellent keyboard, great prediction too.

    I have been using it a lot since last night, and it does take a little bit of getting used to, but I am really enjoying it now.

    The old style keyboard seems very antiquated now!

    Swyping keyboards were the sole reason I updated my ipad. Once you get a feel for it you'll wonder how you ever even considered typing or tapping on a touch screen.

    For anyone using an ipad it's worth noting that SwiftKey have not enabled swipe typing for their ipad app so your only option right now is to use the app Swype. It's an excellent app though and has a high level of accuracy.
