 Hello Daniel,

What did you use for a search term? I search for FlickType, and FlickType keyboard, and the only Fliktype app was for the watch.

I am expecting an app in the App Store soon.

Hello all

I see that there is a new version of FlickType  in the App Store.  V2021.10,

Besides the obvious,, removing the extension to type in all apps, has there been improvements with  VO in the relation to the standard app and iOS 15.

Hi Dave,

 

Yes, I agree that I’m in no hurry to upgrade to iOS 15 primarily because of concerns of what it might do to FlickType.

 

Thanks for clarifying that your FlickType issues have been present across multiple iOS versions.

I've always experienced these issues in the mail app so noticed no change on my devices. I sent the second message because I had more opportunity to test and wanted to share my findings for others who had questions especially regarding the classic app. I'm happy that it worked better for you in 14.8. The classic app will be my go to app from now on. If you've had zero issues with the system wide keyboard then I'd say you probably should not upgrade not for fear of losing the app but for fear of losing the very good behavior that you are currently enjoying.

Dave,

 

I'm having difficulty reconciling your comments below with the following you made in an earlier post:

 

I upgraded and am using flick type to compose this message on the system wide keyboard. It seems to be working exactly as it did before on my device. I haven't yet tried the container app  or the classic version but I see no reason why they wouldn't work. Of course if it is not installed on your device before you upgrade you probably won’t have it after you upgrade. Anyone should expect that. Just thought you would all like to know. Have a great day.

 

So, are you saying that with FlickType running under iOS 14.x that you had the same issues with FlickType not speaking the predictive alternatives completely nor in speaking deletions completely? FlickType under iOS 14.8 works great for me with prediction alternatives and with deleting words.

 

Please help me understand whether upgrading to iOS 15 affected the performance of FlickType on your device because I’m a bit confused based on your previous two posts.

 

Thanks.

Hi, I also noticed that while using the systemwide keyboard, the words typed are not always spoken completely. Also, as mentioned in another reply, flicking up and down through Suggestions only reads the first or last letter of the words selected  Flicking left to delete words only says space if anything at all. The behavior seems to be the same in the container app. The classic version however still behaves as it always has. Everything is spoken as I would expect. I’ll probably start using that one more consistently since the behavior appears to be more on Target and consistent.

If you do a search for the app on the App Store, does it appear in iOS 15. Seeing it here using iOS 14

When I first got the 15 beta it worked if the first word was the correct word you wanted to type. But if you flicked down for additional choices, it would only say the first letter of the possible corrections. So if you're trying to type the word dog and the first option was god, when you flicked down it would say D which would be the choice for dog or whatever else it thinks you were trying to type.

I doubt Kosta will bring back Flicktype, which is why I'm trying other methods of typing like braille screen input.

When I used to use Flicktype before I installed the iOS 15 beta, I liked how the keyboard just pops up and I didn't have to do anything to invoke it. But now seeing as how I'm on iOS 15 and can't go back to iOS 14 without putting my phone into DFU mode and installing a backup of 14 from my Mac which I don't have, I'm learning to adapt. I'm actually thinking about giving MBraille a try when I have the money because I hear it'll let you use the keyboard in third party apps without turning to it in the rotor. I'm hoping it's as easy as BSI to use.

Use direct touch for long words and slide to type for shorter ones. This way, auto correct is pretty accurate for fixing shorter and slide to type, normally gets longer words right with me.of course your milage may vary.

Hi all 

 

There are always the  direct touch typing and slide to type. Combined these together, and typing on the iPhone isn't bad. Of coarse the experience is nothing compared to FlickType but anything is better than nothing. Plus the original Fleksy is still around in the App Store.

Hi Chuck,

 

Thanks for confirming my understanding of the inability to port apps to another device when they are no longer available in the App Store. I suspect we won’t have any luck convincing Kosta to put anything in the App Store since I believe he is suing Apple over their latest series 7 watch keyboard. But I tend to be a glass half empty sort of guy regarding such things.

 

At any rate, I’m beginning to try other on screen keyboard typing methods since I realize that my days with FlickType are numbered. I downloaded Microsoft SwiftKey today and will give it a try. It was hard in the past when trying slide to type and other keyboard features since they all paled in comparison to FlickType but my perspective has now changed.

Hello Alan, 

Out of  curiosity I erased an old iPhone 6S and tried to download FlickType from the clout, and also from my old Mac. Unfortunately, you are right, it could not download any app that is no longer in the app store. ☹️  

It looks like our days of FlickType typing are numbered... Unless we can convince Kosta to put FlickType classic beck in the app store., if it works with iOS 15.

Hi Eileen,

 

I just updated my SE 2020 to iOS 14.8 and am happy to report that my flicktype keyboard is still working just fine. I don't believe that will be the case with iOS 15 so I will be in no hurry to upgrade to it.

 

A few years back, you could use iTunes to download apps to your local computer and carry them forward to a new device. However, Apple changed that approach as they moved more to cloud based orientation and now all apps transferred to a new device must come from the App Store. The names of your installed apps do transfer to the new device as do their installed screen locations but the app itself must download from the App Store and if it's no longer there, you're out of luck. I experienced this with a money reader app that I had on an old device that was no longer in the App Store when I upgraded to my iPhone SE 2020 so that app is no longer on my device.

Hi Alan and All,

I’m using a 6S, with 14.8. I have been able to use FlickType in FB to post on a time line and in the Message app to send a text message. I believe you are correct Alan that the apps are stored in the cloud and not in iTunes. At one point, I thought you could setup a new iPhone from the old one,  but I’m not 100% sure about that.
