This is a dealbreaker for me. I may not upgrade to beta 7. Have you tried other twitter clients like twitterrific or tweetbot?
I

used swift key for awhile too. I stopped though because of privacy concerns. I’m glad Apple finally implemented a swipe keyboard. Comes in handy in certain situations, like when I’m in bed and really shouldn’t be on my phone.

Confirmed on iPhone XS Max. Took 2 tries to get it to crash. Reported.
Happened on my first try reproducing this, then it worked and didn't crash anymore when repeating. What's your setup (I tried with the selection set to days and all photos, crashed on "days" on the first try only).
That and it just works. In release versions (cant count the beta) the app just works. There is no chance the app will go out of business (Sparrow, Newton once already) and its not a pay app or subscription.
It may be basic but honestly does 95%+ of what all email apps do. iOS13 took that further with formatting emails, color/font/etc, and you can now share sheet an email to reminders which is basically the same thing snooze (get a notification and can go right to that email to take action on it).
There really aren't many functions missing. Sure, things like Airmail and Newton do more, but that much money more? And sure things like Spark are free but at what privacy cost and what are they really using your data for where you cannot see it going on. And seeing how PDFExpert just went subscription at $50/year, my guess is Spark is next as it actually uses their server resources. I dont think it will be free much longer.
I really cant think of one huge feature any 3rd party app does that the stock doesnt. I guess send later really and color-coding of accounts/emails; it would be nice to have but not deal breakers. Read receipts can be done with free 3rd party services out there that you BCC the service in the email and it does the read receipt. Not as convenient as in the app, sure, but perfectly doable just like snooze via Reminders.
And push Gmail has nothing to do with the iOS app but Google removing Exchange from free gmail accounts which it used to have; the stock app is more than capable of doing Exchange mail.

I know how to use Siri to save an email to Reminders, but where are you finding a Mail share sheet?
Sorry, you have to select some text in the email first (usually subject is enough, but you can select any words you want or edit it in the reminder) and then click share (like you are going to hit copy), and then reminders is there under Airdrop in the list of apps
It creates a deep link back to the email even if you move it to another folder, so when the reminder goes off and you click it, you go back to that email just like a snooze in a 3rd party app would do.

That’s true. I’m not judging anyone. Just find it curious.
I use the gmail app because I’m ok with gmail knowing much secrets and I prefer a consistent experience across mobile and desktop.
Nothing wrong with 1st party apps for that service at all. I find Mail much better than Gmail and integrates into other apps.
And Google in their infinite wisdom only lets you attached files to emails from Google Drive, no other cloud service or Files app (which all other apps and Apple has let you do for many years), so it's useless for my use case even if I wanted to
Quite a few posts from people surprised that "power users" use the stock email app.
A power user is a pretty subjective term. Most people, even when Homer was Max Power, don't need anything fancier from their email client than to send and receive a few emails a day and have them organised nicely into folders. Colour coding across my accounts would be nice, but I can create rules (or even automator scripts) on my laptop to do that. On my phone it's not so important. All I want is a clean layout and mails opening in an easy-to-read manner. The stock app does that.
It has issues - I wish it'd support IDLE (MacOS Mail does) for example - but it does the job.

Have to agree. I am surprised.
Personally I have found far too many bugs with the stock email app (across versions) to count on it. It is missing features I count on and are available on my non-iOS devices.
I've tried other swipe keyboards before and given up on them, but I like Apple's implementation in iOS 13. The only hangup is words with repeated letters — my finger wants to swipe to the same key twice. Predictive typing gets it right most of the time, but it throws my rhythm off. I suspect this will improve with practice.
BTW, I've been running the latest public beta on my iPhone X since yesterday with very few issues. I'm sure there are bugs that I haven't come across, but it's been surprisingly smooth so far.
Decided to do a little test to see how the basic Apple keyboard works in Notes - XS Max PB
The top part of the pic is using swype on the Apple keyboard uncorrected.
The bottom part is what I actually intended.
What I do find very concerning was that a couple of the mismatches were changes executed by Apple after the word was completed and I had started on the next word - changed after the fact. The two changes of this type were “fleeing” and “flowing”. Apple also insterted the word “punch”.
I have see this type of behavior before in the iOS 13 beta and it has been noted by others.
Not a bad implimentation. Still lags other offerings.
Reported.

Yep, it seems to use a bank of set phrases (maybe only two-word ones) and will correct what you typed to what it thinks is more accurate. This is especially irritating when you mistype a word, Apple corrects it to something seemingly random, and then decides that the previous word no longer fits its guess and changes that too.
Don't laugh.
If Facebook isn't more careful, they'll end up the same way; namely, from almost controlling the world to almost zero in just a few short years.
