Hi chuck,

As you I have no money concerns. However for those who are unable to pay for the monthly subscription, there is still the classic version available to them. The developers have put a lot of time and energy into this project and deserve to get something back from the hard work and time they have already put into it. The reason for Fleksy going away was because of costs for developing. Why should they not be compensated for their work? We are talking about three dollars a month not ten dollars. My opinion and my frustration with our community.

Hi David,
Actually, I was just replying to another email, and I lost all my text. Something is definitely wrong, I think I’ll just stick to the classic keyboard until everything is fixed.
Thanks anyway!

Hello,
I went back to Build 86 and I am losing text when typing an email reply. Sometimes all the text, and other times some text remains but some will be missing.
I am typing this with the FlickType Classic keyboard.

okay so I'm sorry if this has already been reported, but I'm sending

Flicktype, is effectively broken since the latest build.
So I subscribe to flicktype, and it says the purchase was successful.
I go and I send a text. I lock my phone, and go away for a little bit.
When I try an use flicktype again, it says I'm not subscribed, and
won't let me use it.
Then, I have to go through the subscription thing all over again, just
to send one text.
This needs to be fixed, because I can no longer use flicktype due to
this.
Thank you, and have a lovely day.

Hello,
I am having the same problems that others are reporting. At first, I was
prompted for my password several times. Now, when I resubscribe, I am
asked
for my password once at the beginning, but the password field returns as
the
"You're all set" dialog appears. After canceling to dismiss, everything
is
ok until I receive the "FlickType not subscribed" message, which occurs
when
switching from FlickType to iOS and back again. Sometimes, I can make
two
keyboard switches before receiving the message. The restore feature does
not
recognize that I have previously purchased a subscription.
As with Build 86, text that I type is disappearing. It seems to occur
when
switching keyboards, reading back text--either by using FlickType or
VoiceOver, or when entering new lines. I was attempting to determine a
pattern or consistency to this disappearing text behavior before
reporting.
Does text disappearing have anything to do with toggling visual
announcement
off? I must remember to toggle visual announcement off every time I
switch
to the FlickType keyboard. In a future app release, could there be a
setting
to permanently disable visual announcements for those of us who don’t
need
them?
I think that I would also prefer a yearly FlickType subscription, but
the
monthly subscription gives people an opportunity to see how they like
FlickType and how much they would use it.
Thank you.

There's a lot of changes under the hood in this release, so please
report
any unexpected behavior at all. We are also introducing the paid
subscription feature, which has turned out to be quite complex to
implement. Thankfully you can help us test out the purchasing flow,
including deleting the app and then restoring your purchases upon
re-installing, all free of charge. TestFlight will never charge real
money, it will only simulate purchasing. We'd also love to hear your
thoughts on the instructions and overall experience that a new user
would
have.

What's new:
- Updated content in "Welcome" tab.
- Added new "Upgrade" tab.
- The custom keyboard will now work without "Full Access", but it won't
be
able to play sound effects and will only have minimal touch typing
functionality without flick gestures or tap typing, since it can't
confirm
the subscription without a network connection.
- Increased maximum emoji shortcuts from 6 to 10.

Obviously, a subscription will generates more revenue than a one time purchase, so I understand why it is prefered by Kosta and Ashley. And I think they deserve the money. I do wonder if the $3 a month charge may scare off some people, remembering the visually impaired community has about an 80% unemployment rate.

I understand a subscription based model, a monthly fee, may be the
preferred way to go for developers as it generates continuous income,
but I personally would not subscribe to it.
I would simply just stick to the free FlickType Classic app in that
case and just make do without the custom keyboard availability.

Hi chuck and all, the cost of the monthly subscription will depend on the country that the user is in. I have 2 subscriptions from apple. I cloud, and I tunes match . Both are yearly subscriptions. My I cloud is a legacy plan. When apple introduced I cloud, they were offering yearly plans. I'm happy with this, even tho the monthly storage plans are great value here in Australia, I don't like apple taking money out of my card or store credit.

Kind Regards,

George Cham

Build 88
Hello,
I also had a lot of problems entering my password. I had to do it twice, and after it said I was successful, it asked for my password again. I hit cancel and then it said, thank you for supporting FlickType.

Once I started typing everything seemed ok, but after I dismissed the keyboard and then went back to type, it asked for my password again. I reverted to build 86 and went back to finish the email, but all of my text was gone.

I started a new email using build 86 and when I moved the cursor back to enter a line of text before the last line I typed, the text I typed last disappeared.

I am using FlickType classic to type this email.
