Sad this keyboard isn't really making a good impression. There have been a lot of attempts at "reinventing" the smartphone software keyboard. There was a crazy one a while back where the letters were all placed in a circle, and the idea was that you just circled to the letters you wanted to write out words. A lot of those attempts fail, so not surprised by this one. The verdict is still out, but sucks that the early impressions aren't good.
Oh well.
Let me talk about Kii Keyboard a little bit.
People seriously need to give it a shot. It's made me a believer. This is coming from an avid Swiftkey fan.
It's everything good about all the best keyboards out there rolled into one. You have stock Android look, you have swiping abilities (that are really reliable and miles better than Swiftkey's Flow -- I mean, MILES better), you have a ton of customization (including Text Shortcuts done the right way -- ie. done the way iOS' keyboard does it and NOT the way Android stock keyboard does it where the substitution is in the suggestion bar and not automatic; one of the few things iOS' keyboard does right), great auto-correction, good prediction (not as fast learning or as intuitive as Swiftkey, but amazingly serviceable), keyboard sizing options, arrow navigation keys if you long press the symbol key... I mean, the list goes on and on.
Try it. Oh and it's free.
