Fuck you, you little bitch. Get off your fucking lazy ass and build a keyboard.

I’ll wait.

As soon as I heard there was going to be an Apple Watch app I knew the days were numbered for the iOS keyboard. Updates kept coming for the Apple Watch version of the keyboard and there weren’t any VO improvements  in either The iPhone or Watch keyboards.

I think Apple deserves the anger and resentment, not developers who have put a lot of time, resources, and effort into doing something only to have apple treat them like total crap. As very sad as I am for this to go away, and I am, *everyone* has their limits that they can and should put up with. I believe this is a boundary issue for the developer, not a character issue, and were it me reading a message like this I would be very hurt and upset for pouring into something so much only to be told my character was bad or something. As for apple? Well, this kind of nonsense is why I've recently switched to android. I don't regret it.

You assured me that you were totally committed to the Flicktype app, and would fight for it no matter what to keep it in the App Store forever!
