      Wow, first impressions are very good. After coming from Swype this just feels so much more comfortable. I've imported all sources, Facebook, Twitter, Sms and Gmail and it works really well. Definitely a keeper for me.

      Just installed but the flow part does not seem to be working?? Something I need to turn on??

      No, worked out of the box for me, you sure you don't have an old version of Swiftkey installed previously, I'd remove it if you do.

      Yep, it's the only version I have installed and the flow part is definitely not working :-( I'm on a Galaxy Note II here!??

      The swipe right to left across the keys to delete words isn't working for me

      Works pretty well from what I can see so far. Does love the battery though. Plus the swishy line is really cool

      Works very well here. Some words take a bit of work (try "pretty" - all letters are on the same line, so you have to pause a little bit around each letter) but otherwise I really like it.

      Noticeably better than Swype?
      Can it import dictionaries from other apps by any chance?

      Haven't used swype for years, so I can't comment.
      You can install it and use it, even if you have swype installed.
      You're not going to lose anything.

      There is no option to import from other applications, but it can analyse your SMS sent items, twitter account, facebook account and gmail for your writing style and words you use.

      Posting this from my nexus 7 now with the tablet version. Doesn't feel like a beta at all. It's definitely a keeper for me on both devices. Swipe right to left delete not working on this either.

      I'm posting this from my S3 having used SwiftKey x for ages. It's hard to get used to but it's identical to X if I need to use it normally!

      The swipe left to right delete not working for me either, but I think thats because its the flow keyboard now.

      Liking it a lot now. Swiftkey is one of the best out there and this will make it even bigger

      Not so far for me but I'm sure it will take some getting used to. i find it better than swype for regular typing but not for swiping if you follow me.

      So far I kind of prefer Swype but I'm going to give it a chance to win me over. I'm a creature of habit anyway. It does seem nice though. A definite second to Swype if it doesnt overtake it.

      Anyone know the story of when this comes out of beta?

      Does it become a pay to continue to use kinda thing? is there a discount?

      The beta is usually time-limited. Earlier betas of the regular SwiftKey had to be updated every few weeks or they'd stop working (you'd have to use the stock keyboard instead).

      There will be a launch discount which early adopters will no doubt grab if they want to keep using it.

      Same as that. Swipe to delete no longer seems to work.

      Really liking it so far but the big test will come at 12 o clock Fri night!!

      How do you get it to swipe? It just works like a normal keyboard on my tablet, and no swiping action at all.

      They changed theme. There is also a flow input mode in the settings, you could try disabling it and enabling it again
