Beta expiring soon
Daniel McGee
Hi all
For those who are still on the beta version of the app, just a heads up it'll b expiring in a few hours time. So, unless a new build comes out between now and the hours it is set to expire, you may want to consider installing the app store version again. Thought everyone should know, in case you were still on beta and wondered why flicktype wasn't working anymore.☺️

Re: Annoying Bug With the "Next Keyboard" Button for Text Entry in iOS 13.2
David,
My iPhone 8 running iOS 13.2 is doing exactly as you described but my understanding is that behavior is expected. When I'm in an edit field and my next keyboard says something other than what I want, I double tap and hold it and slide up until I hear FlickType. When I release, I'm ready to input with FlickType. If you simply double tap when the next keyboard key has focus and is listing a keyboard other than the one you want, the expected behavior is for it to launch that keyboard. I'm finding that with iOS 13.2, FlickType seems to be sticking better to the next keyboard button than it did in iOS 12.4.1 so I have no complaints.

Hello. On the positive side I am thrilled that Flicktype's functionality has been restored to VoiceOver users as a third party keyboard in iOS 13.2. However, there is an annoying issue on my iPhone 8 which I have discovered that I wanted to mention. I plan to email Apple Accessibility about this but if others are affected by this issue I'd like to encourage them to do so as well. When I bring up a text entry field with the standard English keyboard the "next keyboard" button reports something like "next keyboard, emoji." Double tapping this button switches to the emoji keyboard, as expected. I then hear "next keyboard, Flicktype" but double tapping the button does not switch to the Flicktype keyboard as it should and is it reliably did in iOS 12. Instead, it stays on the emoji keyboard. As a workaround if I double tap and hold the button it does seem to switch over to using Flicktype. I'm wondering if other Flicktype users are able to confirm this?

Re: FlickType question or suggestion
Chuck Dean
Hello, Most third-party keyboard stopped working in iOS 13.1.2. This was an Apple problem. Apple took about a month and a half to fix this problem, but it has been fixed as of yesterday. You need to update to iOS 13.2. If you do this, Fliktype will be back to normal. Once again this was Apple‘s fault not Fliktype‘s. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Did you download 13.2 yesterday? It’s working fine with 13.2. It worked on 13.0 and 13.2 only. If you’re on 13.1 it will not work. HTH! Best, JP

FlickType question or suggestion
Corie Brown
I cannot get the app to work properly in iOS 13 despite having a subscription.
It functions properly if I use the notepad in the app, but the universal keyboard does not give lush audio feedback system wide and is therefore effectively useless. I have tried uninstalling and we installing the app hot that has not helped. Universal functionality is turned on. Is this app still being supported? Currently a paid subscription seems like a waste of money! All info and advise welcome. Thanks. Corie

Re: Using Flicktype as a Third Party Keyboard Under iOS 13

When 13.2 comes out you'll be able to fully use flick type again.
The issues in IOS 13.1 are Apple issues and they have corrected
those in 13.2

Hello, This is an issue related to third party keyboards in general, not just FlickType. Apple is aware. As stated, fox is coming. Best, JP

It's apparently fixed in 13.2. Guessing it's related to keyboard
changes they made.

Using Flicktype as a Third Party Keyboard Under iOS 13
David Goldfield
Hello. I apologize if you have received this question many times from many users. I was disappointed to discover that I'm unable to use Flicktype as a third party keyboard under iOS 13 although typing with your app does provide expected feedback when inside
the app. Is this something that you need to address or is it up to Apple to correct the issue? --

We had beta 3 of 13.2 drop earlier today and flick type is
working perfectly with that as well. So everything is looking
good. I would think that 13.2 would be out by the end of the month
since we're on beta 3 now and things seem to be coming along
nicely.

Thanks for the comments. I believe I'll stick with iOS 12.4.1 until iOS 13.2 is officially released.

I don't think you'll see anything until iOS 13.2 which is still in beta. You're welcome though to install the beta on your phone if you're that impatient for it.

Hello Allen, I just updated to iOS 13.1.3. No, Fliktype is still broken. I tried replying to this email and I still don’t get any voice feedback from Fliktype. I also tried it in a search field, and in my notes, and I am getting no voice feedback whatsoever.
Evidently, this is not the update we have been waiting for.

Hey Guys, The 13.2 beta is working perfectly. Hopefully it will only be a few weeks before everyone is able to have a good FlickType experience again. Cheers, JP
