I downloaded swiftkey & I like it, but I have the default iOS keyboard popping up about 1/2 the time. Any way to make the swiftkeyboard always come up?

I had to go into edit and drag SwiftKey to the top and the. In apps I hit the globe and after choosing SwiftKey from there it now shows up all the time

Delete the English keyboard entirely and then it won't switch back.

Does anyone know of a way to make swiftkey have the audible clicks while typing like the Apple keyboard? Not a big deal, just curious if it's possible.

You mean the most annoying setting possible that everyone in their right mind immediately turns off? The Android version has it, not sure about iOS.

Mine never turned on, is audible clicks turned off in your regular settings -> sounds?

Not sure if anybody else is experiencing this, but sometimes I click to reply to a text and the cursor just blinks in the text box but the keyboard never comes up. It's happened twice and I find that if I just hit the home button twice and close the messages app out and then open it again it usually fixes itself.

Do you have to "allow full access" for it to work?

SwiftKey in a class of it's own.

From briefly using it, I'm already pissed at Apple from keeping this from us for so long. Finally a keyboard that respects my foul nouth

My wife installed it on her iPhone & after exploring it I was disappointed to no end. Since I've used it for years on Android & have been ttelling her how much she would love it I found Apple had stripped out virtually all the customizable features that make it great. Fricking Apple!

Using SwiftKey and it's been pretty glitchy for me. Sometimes the words I type won't show up, and pretty often the keyboard itself won't even show up. I have a 5S so performance itself shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah me too. Its pretty great. The predictions are on point as well.

ETA: Just read your post above. I'll have to play with it a bit more. So far so good but I'm on a 6 so maybe it works better on the new phones.

I use both traditional typing and swype in the same sentence sometimes.

Yep If I use 2 hands I usually type them out but I swype when I only have one hand on my S4. I just switched to swiftkey this morning and so far I really like it.
