Hi all. 

I'm happy to say this build works fine and I've had no issues at all so far. 

Regarding the app when it it goes live on the app store, its also my intention to purchase /subscribe too, whilst remaining on the test team too.

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.

Thank you!

 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.

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.

Warmly,

Hello all,
Chuck and Michael, you two bring up valid points.
However, my thought is, that no other custom keyboard, has it
subscription based. I've talked with several of my friends, whom I
have spoken to about regarding this app.
It is kind of a concensus, that paying a subscription for a keyboard
is a bit... off the cuff.
I'm not saying, that Kosta and Ashley shouldn't be rewarded for their
time effort and dedication. I've already stated in my previous post,
that they should be.
However, while I can see, how a subscription can generate a bit of
revenue, in the long run, a lot less people will end up getting it.
Just because people don't usually subscribe for a keyboard.
A one time fee of like ten dollars, would work, that's what other
keyboards, such as MBraille does.
Their classic app is free, but then to get the system wide keyboard,
you have to pay for it.
Okay sorry, doen rambling.

Hello chuck,



Yes I agree with you. 1.99 is a reasonable price. I agree with you that
the developers need compensation. It should be a price which is within a
price range for the consumers being served. I do not want to drive the mind
community to be left out because of a price. I want to see the custom
keyboard developed and maintained.



Lets hope there is some tie of compromise.



Sincerely,, mike

Hello Michael,
I totally agree that Kosta and Ashley should be compensated for their fine
work. My concern is the two dollar and ninety nine cent subscription price
may drive away some who are on limited income. I would think a dollar
ninety nine cent price per month is more palatable, end also sounds like
the subscription is only a dollar a month. An old marketer's ploy.
I imagine Kosta and Ashley has done some type of study to see what the
demographic will go for.
Unfortunately, the App Store and its millions of ninety nine cent apps has
turned many into cheapskates, expecting everything to cost a buck, instead
of realizing that the limited market for this type of app will cause a
higher price point.
My suggestion that the price may be a little high is intended to get the
most cash for Kosta and Ashley, not vice versa.

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.

Hello everyone,
I have had subscription based apps in the past, none at the present
time, so I am ok with the idea.
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.

Personally, I have no money worries, and I will subscribe to the App
to support the App, if for no other reason. But being a huge fan of
FlickType classic, I wonder if others may be satisfied with the classic
App.
