Re: I lost more text.

Thank you Chuck, no worries.

Since the majority of folks don't seem to experience the issue, and we now have more memory logging information, we will consider releasing this build to beta in order to get a reliable signal sooner. Same goes for the issue that Benny is experiencing. With more people using a build, patterns can arise to help us figure out what's going on, and it seems that the last couple of builds are at least not utterly broken. FYI we are seeing a lot of out-of-memory crashes in the current beta build anyway, so we think this last build might actually be better for most people.

Thanks,
Kosta

If you could try to stress test build 99, it might help us better understand what's going on. There's some added logging information in that build to better understand memory usage.

By the way, last night there was an outage of our mailing list provider, groups.io. If you or anyone got any errors sending messages, you may try again now as everything seems to be working again.

Hello,
I went into analytics, but I did not find anything marked extensions or Fliktype. I went from DIRECTV to helix. I scrolled through quickly but I did not see anything else that resembled either headings.

You just go to your Settings app, then Privacy, Analytics, Analytics Data, find and open the relevant FlickType entry, and then share using the button at the top. All FlickType custom keyboard entries will start with the word "Extension", followed by a date and time.

I lost more text.
Hi Kosta,
I just lost more text while typing in my journal at 8:34 PM
Unlike before, not all the text was lost, only the first sentence or two.
I have updated to build 98 before this happened.

Re: Build 98

FlickType
 

I should note here that this is another, more aggressive reduction in memory usage, with the assumption that the crash in question is caused due to memory issues. I know that at least some of the crashes we see are due to memory issues, but there may also be other causes. That's why it's not a definitive fix for the text loss issue, and we'd love to know if we need to be optimizing even further for memory, or if we need to be looking elsewhere.

As always, please try to use the custom keyboard as much as possible.

Thank you all for testing!

Hello kosta,

I am a one finger typist. I hear the sounds but no text is written. I hope this helps.

I think Michael's issue is the same as Benny's. Michael, do you also hear a clicking sound when that single letter appears? I should also note that if you happen to type fast with more than one finger you might accidentally trigger other gestures such as switching to caps or numbers.

Re: Build 95

Salman Haider
 

Hi Kosta
The app that I am specifically referring to is called Twitterrific. I really like their implementation of the Tip Jar feature because it allows for a monthly subscription as well as different amounts for one time contributions. As I said, it would allow people who want to continuously support the app and its development to be able to subscribe to such an option, as well as even allow those who want to make one time contributions every once in a while to do so.
Thanks,
Salman

Thank you Kosta. I can confirm that the tip jar option is definitely allowed as I do use at least one app that has that feature. It gives great flexibility in terms of contribution. Whether it's a monthly, annual or a one time contribution. So definitely something that you guys can consider.
Thanks.

Thank you Benny, build 88 is the suspect one on our end as well. While we're investigating, a couple things you could also try are updating to iOS 11.4, and trying the latest build on a different device if you happen to have one.

Thank you Salman for the pricing feedback. We will need to look into tip jar options and if those are allowed by Apple.

Hello,
I think the ninety nine cent a month subscription is more than reasonable, it would be a steady income stream for Kosta and Ashley, and can be cancelled by the consumer at any time in case of some unforseen problem, like what happened to Fleksy.
 
Personally, I am against a one time purchase price. This app is very complex compared to other apps and will need constant maintenance as iOS evolves, and if the developers are not receiving a steady flow of income, there is no incentive to continue to work on the app.

I agree 100% with you chuck. 
 I do though think that a yearly option may appeal to some people. For example, $1 per month or $10 for the year.

Thank you all for the feedback. 

It seems that the act of updating a keyboard can sometimes make iOS behave unexpectedly and not always show the keyboard when it should. Perhaps rebooting any time you update or revert to a different build is a good habit to have. 

To support us while still testing, all you would have to do is download the app from the App Store at any time after we launch, and simply upgrade it. Then you can be using TestFlight builds while supporting us at the same time, smile.

So far so good for me with the keyboard itself. 
Though the bug I reported previously after changing a capital letter to a lower case letter still persists. 
 Re the upgrade side of it, when I select the upgrade button in the app, it does now tell me that I am already subscribed. Of course though that does mean I cannot test the process for carrying out the upgrade. 
 
 If you continue to want / need us testing after the app store release, I will be more than happy to continue doing so. 
 I will be more than happy to pay though, so if doing this, you might consider including a tip jar or something.

Hi George,

I assume you meant to type "And it's now" instead of "And it's not"?

On your question about what happens after we launch on the App Store:
as long as you are running a build that was downloaded from
TestFlight, you will be fully upgraded automatically at no cost. The
upgrade does not apply if the app is downloaded from the App Store. To
maintain the free upgrade you will therefore need to be on a
TestFlight build. I remind you that App Store builds are no different
than TestFlight builds, and any build that was released to the App
Store will also be available on TestFlight for some time, to make sure
there's always a stable build you can revert to if needed.
