Thanks for the report George. What version of iOS are you on? And if it's not to much trouble, can you delete the app and re-install from TestFlight?

Done that, Flick Type is now working properly after installing from TestFlight. But it looks like there's only one feel for phone number and email address.

Correct. You can now specify either a phone or an email for the reply link. I think most people using the reply links will be adding their phone number there.

Anyone experiencing a crash, you can resolve by either deleting and re-installing the latest build, or downgrading to a previous build from TestFlight. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I love the crap out of these new settings. I've written two texts with this beta today, but was only using one earbud to do it... The audio panning functionality is brilliant. It serves as a fun way for us to determine where we are while typing versus where we want to be. In other words, an innovative learning tool for accuracy. Loving it. Also, the volume, and tap options are working well here. I've customized both to my preference, and an happy to have the alternative tap option back in portrait mode.

Not seeing a message on start-up. It just launches into the app proper, and is ready for usage. Granted I'm running a beta of iOS, not sure if that is a factor, but so far, everything I've tried is working well.

Regarding the slight slow down that has been mentioned, I have noticed a solution that might or might not be exclusive to my own set up. What I've noticed is I struggle to type and the general focus of VoiceOver on my phone jumps around a bit when I have my charger plugged in. As soon as I take my charger out, everything returns to normal. Can anyone else who is finding build 32 confirm this behaviour? A bizarre one I know, but all I can think of is maybe it has something to do with iCloud backups that are performed when connected to power? Beyond this unusual issue however, I like the ability to customize the typing clicks and other such sounds. Regarding the raise to listen feature, I normally just put my hand over the top of my phone to listen to what I've typed. Regarding possible uses of the rotor, I wonder if it would be possible to add an insert feature? There have been times when I've missed something out and had to delete the sentence I'm typing to go back and add it in. But overall, I'm very happy to say it you've done a superb job so far and it already feels as good as if not better than the original. Keep up the good work!
