Ashley and Kosta, Even if the project has to stop now, you will have my everlasting gratitude for what you’ve done. I wonder if a subsidy would be possible for your project. All the Best to the whole family. JPR

judging from what costa has just said in his email, don’t expect FlickType to be updated in the near future.
I can understand that ashley has not been well, and the subscription amount has not been large.

People are reporting that all 3rd-party keyboards are non-responsive with VoiceOver, and my experience has been similar, which sounds like a real show-stopper. I will have to wait until iOS 13 is finally released before I try to come up with any potential workarounds, so that I work with a somewhat stable iOS version rather than any of the ever-changing betas. Finally, there's a chance I'll get around to switching to a small one-time fee instead of the subscription, if I find the time to do this. Thank you for your support so far, - Kosta

Chuck,
I'm with you on the not updating option until iOS 13 works with third party keyboards and especially FlickType. I do 95% of the input on my iPhone using FlickType.

I do not know about anyone else, but I do not plan to update to iOS 13 until I hear that flicktype, and all other third party keyboards are compatible. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Interestingly enough if I do bring up Flicktype when, for example, typing an email message, it works pretty well for me for basic typing. I am not a power user so maybe I am not qualified to say too much, but I just typed some text, it was responsive, predictions worked just fine and a swipe up dismissed the keyboard when I was done. I can see how it is not possible to really make a living by charging a few hundred people $12 a year, if Flicktype had ten thousand users who paid that maybe it would be a bit different, but even then if Kosta and Ashley were to do this fulltime a hundred thousand a year for 2 people is barely a year’s worth of an average income especially since Apple keeps 30% of the $12 you pay for Flicktype. As for those like Chuck who would be willing to pay $10 a month, they are probably few and far between, I doubt there would be a hundred people who are willing to spend that much.

Yeah I would to because I use this app more than any other app on
my phone. It's going to be a sad day in the event that this app
goes away.

Hello, I too would be willing to pay more. Not sure how iOS will hinder third party keyboards in future. Especially with current VO issues. I wish Ashley continued recovery and good health. Your work is appreciated Kosta. I know running FlickType is more a labor of love. Having a limited community has its challenges. I do thank you for that. I myself will continue to support. Until Kosta says he can do no more. It’s developers like this who try to give equal access. For that, I will do what I can. Even with fewer updates. Best, JP

I would have no problem paying $10 per month. For me, flicktype is a game changer!

Hi,

So, what should we all do? I greatly appreciate your hard work, and having access to Flicktype, especially on the watch is amazing! I really hope you can work something out. I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but iOS 13 is coming out next Thursday. Thanks, Jessica

I would be willing to increase my monthly/yearly payment to keep this alive, if that ends up being an option others would also agree to.

I cannot advise you either way, unfortunately.
