Just wanna share that I have never used another keyboard before, but downloaded and am using the gBoard keyboard for iOS and it's incredible.. finally have usable auto spell and correct. Apple auto spell and correct are atrocious (on the desktop too)
 
Pretty contrary, now Apple stock keyboard autocorrect works better than all third party keyboards, for me. Plus text replacement, I can even type some words even easier.
 
I was using SwiftKey for a while.

But it eventually was deleted because occasionally I was getting glitches where the keyboard stuttered when launching ,or not launching at all.

Even after moving this to the top of the list in key into make it the default option.


How long have you been using gBoard @itsamacthing ?

Any stuttering ?
Any bugs ?
 
I sure hope to see more languages added and then ofcourse the ability to also try it out in other countries like in the Netherlands.
I still don't get it that Apple hasn't implemented word swiping gestures in their own keyboards. If they did that I wouldn't have to stick with third party apps like Swype, Path Input, Go Keyboard among others (see the total list of third party keyboards here).
