Re: Removed as a tester from the beta
It appears I was also removed.
I was removed as well.
Benny
Hi all,
I was wondering, am I the only one who was removed as a tester from Flicktype Beta? Or did others get removed as well? I checked the Testflight app right after the last beta expired, and have been seeing ”Tester Removed; The developer removed
you from the test program” ever since. Thought I'd check because I haven't seen it mentioned on the list.

Hi,
I have also been removed as a tester.
But I think you’ll find that when A build expires it’s automatically removed,
And When are new builders available, it will automatically show up
kind regards,
George Cham

You aren’t the only ones. The app has disappeared from Test Flight. The message FlickType Beta has expired announces when I open app.

Open the FlickType app and there should be a settings button. There you can change your settings and tap done when you are finished.

Yes, that will do, but the share button has many more options. I could export to messages, pages, notes, etc. Also I had quick links in my share option so I could send mail or messages to friends and family with one tap.
I brought this up to Kosta once before and he said he removed the share button by mistake, and would replace it eventually. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Hi Shawn, A few months back I transitioned the app to free, with an in-app purchase. The premium features automatically unlock for users who previously bought the app, but I've had a handful of reports where this didn't work for some reason. Also, if you are using the beta, you will not get charged even if you try to purchase. In fact, there should be a mention in Apple's purchase dialog right before confirmation, that it's not going to actually charge you. Failing that, you can try installing from the App Store and see if that helps, otherwise please reach out to hello@flicktype.com and I'll send you a promo code.

Lastly, I'm now a prowd owner of an Apple Watch SE and I have the watch app installed on it. Are we able to use the Flicktype keyboard on the watch in third party apps like we can on the phone? Thanks guys.

Re: Help After iOS Update
Hi Scott, I agree with Rocco. Not experiencing that. It’s possible that your version might be corrupt, which a clean install would fix. Best, JP

I know when IOS14 first came out I heard complaints about FlickType battling with IOS 14 on podcasts, Applevis and here. Then people seemed to get it resolved and it simply doesn’t work for me. I also find that, outside of FlickType, my VO focus jumps around.
An example of this is if I go to the app store, go to the my account section and then go down to any app that needs to be updated or that has been updated. It will read out the app and the brief description, then I should swipe right with one finger to get
to the button that either says Open or Update. Every single time I do the swipe right to get to the button, VO flicks to the button and straight back to the app name and description. A repeat of the swipe and it will work. This will happen every time I try
this. There are numerous such examples that only appeared once I updated to IOS 14. Maybe there is just something wrong with my phone as the jumping around in some places makes it completely unusable as the focus will stay in one place no matter what you
do. This clearly doesn’t happen to others or else it would be listed as an emergency bug on Applevis for example. I can only assume my FlickType troubles are related to this.

Hi Benny. Direct Touch and Direct Touch typing are two different things. Direct Touch Typing is for the iOS keyboard and has nothing to do with Flicktype. Direct Touch is a new feature that Apple introduced in
iOS 14 which allows Voiceover users to use self-voicing apps without having to turn Voiceover off. In iOS 14, Flicktype needs direct touch on to be able to work with your apps. You'll need to turn it on for every app you use Flicktype with. Hope that clears
things up.

Shawn,

Hello Tony,
I think the main problem for me was going from iOS 13 to 14.4.2. With iOS 13 I have not had the issue with having to activate direct touch typing with the rotor. Also, when I updated to 14.4.2,
slide to type was on and I think that created an issue as well. I had to make sure full access was on for FlickType too. In retrospect, I think it was an issue with about 3 different things.
full access needed to be turned on for FlickType
slide to type needed to be turned off
direct touch typing needed to be enabled on the rotor when VoiceOver and FlickType were active
These were the items that were causing me the problem.
Benny
Hi Benny,
What was your solution, in case others come across the same problem?
Sent from my mobile device
I finally got flicktype to work. All is good. Thanks.
Hi Benny,
When FlickType has VoiceOver focus, please try enabling Direct Touch from the rotor menu and see if that helps.
I have just updated to iOS 14.4.2 and I cannot get FlickType to work. Whenever I get into an edit area, FlickType activates, but I cannot get it to enter any text. As I move around the screen,
all I get is feedback from each character as for example Cap A, Cap B and etc. I uninstalled the app and downloaded it again, but the same thing occurs. It is totally useless as is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Benny

Re: Help After iOS Update
hello Scott, Please be sure you have a slide to type turned off. This keyboard and the Fliktype keyboard do not play well together. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Hi
Thank you for the information about the difference between direct touch and direct touch typing, this iwas new information to me. I checked and all my apps on my phone are set to direct
touch. I found this in Settings>Accessibility>Voice Over>Rotor Actions>Direct Touch.
Since updating to IOS14 which I did when it first came out, I have been unable to use FlickType with VO on. I have turned voice feedback on in FlickType and toggle VO off as soon as
I need to type something.
I am completely at a loss as to why I experience this if others are finding it to work. I mainly use whatsapp, Do other find FlickType with VO on to work in Whatsapp? I can type the
first word, but cannot swipe right with one finger to proceed to the next word without having to reengaging FlickType and even then the focus is all over the place. I am using an iPhone 11.
Thank you

Hi Benny. Direct Touch and Direct Touch typing are two different things. Direct Touch Typing is for the iOS keyboard and has nothing to do with Flicktype. Direct Touch is a new feature that Apple introduced in
iOS 14 which allows Voiceover users to use self-voicing apps without having to turn Voiceover off. In iOS 14, Flicktype needs direct touch on to be able to work with your apps. You'll need to turn it on for every app you use Flicktype with. Hope that clears
things up.

Hello Tony,
I think the main problem for me was going from iOS 13 to 14.4.2. With iOS 13 I have not had the issue with having to activate direct touch typing with the rotor. Also, when I updated to 14.4.2,
slide to type was on and I think that created an issue as well. I had to make sure full access was on for FlickType too. In retrospect, I think it was an issue with about 3 different things.
1.
full access needed to be turned on for FlickType
2.
slide to type needed to be turned off
3.
direct touch typing needed to be enabled on the rotor when VoiceOver and FlickType were active
These were the items that were causing me the problem.
Benny
Hi Benny,
What was your solution, in case others come across the same problem?
Sent from my mobile device
I finally got flicktype to work. All is good. Thanks.
Hi Benny,
When FlickType has VoiceOver focus, please try enabling Direct Touch from the rotor menu and see if that helps.
I have just updated to iOS 14.4.2 and I cannot get FlickType to work. Whenever I get into an edit area, FlickType activates, but I cannot get it to enter any text. As I move around the screen,
all I get is feedback from each character as for example Cap A, Cap B and etc. I uninstalled the app and downloaded it again, but the same thing occurs. It is totally useless as is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Benny

FlickType and Apple App Store
Hello all,. I need a little assistance please. I had a little trouble getting FlickType to work after updating iOS to 14.4.2. I initially uninstalled Flicktype and reinstalled. I have Flicktype working, but I cannot get to the settings. Flicktype
wants me to sign into the app store. I get caught up into a loop that requires me to purchase Flicktype for $9.98. I really don't want to do that, but if I have to, I will. Any suggestions as how to handle this? I wondered if I reinstalled the beta from Testflight,
would this be a fix. Thank you for any help.
