Count me in also, but if it’s a TestFlight install, use indigocellist@gmail.com rather than this email address.

Re: Typing with flicktype

FlickType
 

Thanks, George. I'd say this is the same for the default iOS keyboard as
well since the keys are more spread out across the iPad screen, especially
for larger iPads. We'll explore whether there's anything we can do to
improve the experience in the future as FlickType was designed for iPhone,
it just happens to work quite well for iPads as well.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Maria,

Have you tried to shake the phone and tap "undo"? This is a quick way to undo all the text you've entered.

When I use headphones with my iPod touch, I made sure to turn up the sound volume for sounds and notifications to 100to make sure sounds were being heard.

I typing this message via FlickType while a brown noise sleep machine is in the background in my headphones, and I am not doing too bad with typing!

Good evening,

I appreciate the new sounds, because, as I’ve said before, they are a much-needed break with what had been there since the beginning. I appreciate the new typing sound (the one now present in landscape mode) because it’s easy to hear when I’m working in louder environments such as in transit, in the midst of a lot of people, etc. I am experiencing something interesting though with the usage of lightning earphones. This isn’t exclusively a flicktype issue, but something which sometimes happens with sounds generally, and I’m curious as to whether or not anyone else has seen, or is seeing this. When I use my phone and flicktype via the handset only, (no earphones) the sounds are very pronounced. Yet when I plug in my EarPods, they’re muted almost to the point of inaudibility. I have auto-ducking turned off, so yeah, this is annoying to me, because I am a geek, and am having fun with the new sound options...just wish I could enjoy them privately. Lol

Thanks guys for a great app, and for, as I once said before, returning me to my texting input roots

Hi all, loving the new release and FlickType in general; in fact, I'm using the app to type this message. I'm also extremely grateful for the amount of enthusiasm and responsiveness from the developers, I truly appreciate your passion for the app and user support. Having said that, I have a few general thoughts:

1. I love the new sounds. However, can there be a different sound other than the keyboard clicks for when a two finger swipe is performed to access the menu? Not a huge deal, but just food for thought.
2. Speaking of the menu, is the tap an hold gesture still supposed to exist to bring up the menu? I love the swipe up, but feel like it could get annoying for new users who may be manually trying to enter something and go outside the range of the keyboard. I only discovered this gesture by accident.
3. I like the announcement of contractions, but I wish only the's was announced because of VoiceOver's default lack of pronouncing it. I think words like I'm or aren't would be better pronounced normally, as before. Not sure if this makes sense? If I need to clarify please let me know. :)

On another note, like others have mentioned, it took me a while to get groups. Io to cooperate and allow me to reply /post. I finally got it but not initially user friendly. I'll reply to that respective topic tomorrow. Thank you again for bringing this back and bringing a much needed typing revamp to iOS.
Re: Suggestion for accessing main screen of app and reducing verbosity with VoiceOver

George Cham
 

Hi David an all.
I agree with the welcome feedback.
It copy and clear is turned on, then there is no need to have copy and clear on exit.
I also would like to see, when the menu is brought up, at the bottom of the menu, it instead of back, it should say, continue typing.

Kind regards,

George Cham

Subject: [flicktype] Suggestion for accessing main screen of app and reducing verbosity with VoiceOver

Hi all,

I’m wondering in order to reduce verbosity, that after doing a two finger flick up from the keyboard to access the main app screen, we had “main menu” or “menu” rather than “welcome to FlickType. Happy typing”.

Given how much I use the app and like it, the welcome.. is starting to get a bit annoying smile.

Something I would like to see on FlickType.

Hello all,
I would like to see an easier way to access the export type button. Perhaps a hard press on iphones that have 3D touch.

Email subject repeat.
Hi all,
I would like to see a toggle to enable the user to turn off the email subject to be repeated in the email body.
If I remember correctly, this one of the first changes in the original Fleksy app.

Hi all,

We recently crossed 500 beta testers, and it won't be long before we hit a thousand or more. This poses some significant challenges when it comes to iterating fast on the app, while ensuring that no critical bugs make it to such a large group of users. Even though the app is still very much in beta, we want our testers to be using it as a daily tool that they can rely on, and we don't want to become more risk-averse in how we develop the app.

To this end, we are introducing a new "alpha" program. The idea is to have a smaller group of users who are willing to receive more frequent, and sometimes less polished versions of the app, and based on their feedback, builds that are deemed acceptable will then be pushed to the wider beta group which could eventually, and hopefully, number thousands of people.

If you are interested, the only thing you need to do is just let us know and we will add your email to the internal Alpha group. Everything else will be the same, including how you get builds from TestFlight. There is nothing else that you need to do on your end. We might create a special sub-group in the mailing list to gather all feedback from the alpha group there, rather than have everyone be notified about messages relating to builds that they can't yet get. We do want the alpha discussion to be done in the open though, so everyone can read about it and anticipate what's coming. More details on how to submit alpha feedback will be coming soon.

Thank you for your incredible help and support so far, you guys have been awesome!

Can anyone tell me how the reply links will work at the bottom of the message?
I'm having problems with the apple mail app, were the message is not being sent even tho I'm getting a sound, but when I check, and try to send it, I'm getting a error message.
That's why I'm using the outlook app.
