Getting past the main screen

Tiffany Green <tgreenhu@...>
 

hi. I like your app. However, how do I get past the main screen to use it? I can’t afford to upgrade for the monthly fee. Thank you

Hi Tiffany,

Thanks for your message. We have a couple of free options, you can type in the demo tab or download FlickType Classic. For either of these options, you can share what you type in your favorite apps through the share sheet.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Warmly,
Ashley

Hi Scott,

Thank you for reporting this issue and sorry for the trouble. We have this on our list of future fixes that are based on priority, so far this is our 2nd report so it's pretty obscure for users thus far. For now, we recommend the workaround that you have already discovered.

Thanks, again!

Capitals on keyboard?

Harry Bell
 

On my iPad I find the FlickType keyboard has two problems: the rows of letters are too far apart, even with the reduced height toggle on. The other problem is that the keyboard reverts to lower case letters after the first word typed. In my iOS keyboard settings I disable showing lower case letters. It is also puzzling that the keyboard remains in upper case keys during typing the first word and then changes to showing lower case keys. Is there some reason for this?

Please help. My FlickType app is working fine except for when I am finished typing and switch back to the regular keyboard none of the text that I have typed appears in my text field. I would love any feedback on how to fix this problem please. Thank you

New App Store version

FlickType
 

Please always restart your device after updating FlickType, and send all your feedback to hello@flicktype.groups.io. Thank you!

What's new:
- You can now use your existing iOS text replacement shortcuts with FlickType. Configure text replacements from iOS Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement. If you tap-type the shortcut, it will automatically be expanded into its phrase. If you type it accurately by touch-typing each letter, you'll need to flick down to expand it after you space. Replacement shortcuts can only contain letters, but expanded phrases can be anything, including numbers, symbols, spaces, and even emoji. Be creative, smile!

Please note: the replacements don't work inside the container app due to iOS limitations.

Thank you for supporting FlickType, and please tell your friends if you are enjoying it!

Warmly,
Kosta and Ashley

Hi Maurice,

So sorry to hear about this issue. Have you restarted your device since experiencing the issue? If not, I recommend you start there. After restarting if you still have the issue will you please send me the following information:
- Device model, exact version of iOS you are using, and the exact version of FlickType you are using.
- When did the issue start occurring? What exactly happened? As detailed as possible.

Thank you!
Ashley

Hi,

Perhaps I'm missing something.


How do these text replacements work?


Is it like preset messages you can set up and automatically send with flick type?

Hi Taylor,

just as they say.

Configure text replacements from iOS Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement.

You have two fields, one where you enter a character string, like a few letters, and A second one where You enter its corresponding text. It's quite easy to do.

Cheers,

JPR

Sign in required with latest update from the app store

Daniel McGee
 

Hi Kosta and Ashley

Just downloaded the latest version of Flicktype from the app store and not sure if this is a problem or not.

When I opened the Flicktype app, it wanted me to: sign in on the iPhone. Thought I would ask here first because I've read online that this is a method in which bad people can take over an Apple ID. I haven't entered my password yet and granted it permission.

So wanted to check in with you to see if this is normal behavior or not. By the way, this pop up box didn't appear on my iPad, where I have also installed the latest app store version.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Daniel

Question: German Language support

Matthias Lindemann
 

Dear Developer Team,

is the support of the FlickType German language keyboard planned for the future?
If not by now, I honestly request for this feature which will support all blind user who live in Germany, Austria and Suisse.
If yes, when can we expect this feature?

Many thanks in advance for any kind of information on this topic.

Kindest regards

Matthias Lindemann

Hi Daniel,

This is the first report we've heard of this. We recommend you first going to the App Store and clicking your App Store profile to check whether you accidentally got signed out of the App Store for whatever reason. If you are signed out, signing back in here should alleviate the problem. Additionally, we do not believe risk signing in again when asked in FlickType, unless you have a jailbroken phone.

Please let us know how it goes,
Ashley

Re: changing from words to characters

Hi Joe,

Sounds like you're looking for a way to navigate by character. For now, you can only navigate by character while you're manually typing a word, but we will be adding a way to hear the spelling of specific words when you go back to navigate what you've typed.

Cheers!
Ashley
Re: Question: German Language support

FlickType
 

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your message. We've had very few requests for German so far, but I've made sure to take note of your request. We will be developing German, but we do not yet have an estimated time of arrival, as we only have one developer at the moment and it's hard to predict.

We'll be sure to keep everyone updated when it's ready!

Hi Ashley, on your advice, I did as you suggested and it appears that I haven't signed out of the app store on my iPhone.

What would you recommend I do next?

Force of nature psychic
 

Is it possible that you have a transaction pending for Apple already? This has happened to me a couple of times and that was my issue. Then every time you try to make a purchase it asks you to sign in and make you think that you haven’t been signed in all this time LOL

Hello Daniel.

Does it happen when you try to use the flick type keyboard, or when you Launch the flick type app?

On the app, is your upgrade active?

I imagine it wants to reactivate your upgrade, At least that's what I thought when it happened to me On the previous update.

If you have double Identification on, I suppose no one can login to your app store account Without you being warned anyway.

Cheers,

JPR
