One of the important novelties that iOS 8 has brought us is the possibility of adding third-party keyboards to improve the typing experience on Apple devices. Despite bringing the QuickType predictive keyboard by default, many users have chosen to install the new third-party keyboards such as SwiftKey, Swype and Fleksy mainly, as we can see in the rankings of free and paid applications.
In the United States for example, SwiftKey keyboard has risen to the top of free apps with over a million downloads, as reported by MacRumors, just 24 hours after being the eighth version of iOS available for download. Recall that since last Wednesday the 19th, you can already update your devices to this new version, but it must be borne in mind that as of today, there is still no Jailbreak available for this version. If you are on iOS 7.1.2 and you don't want to lose it, think twice before updating it, because there is no going back.
SwiftKey suffered a short delay in launching its app, due to app processing by the Apple Store, so actually, its keyboard has been downloaded over a million times in less than 24 hours. The advantage of SwifKey compared to other competitors such as Swype and Fleksy, is that is available for download completely free of charge which allows us a good opportunity to try an alternative to the new iOS 8 keyboard, QuickType, without having to scratch your pocket.
The operation of SwiftKey is very similar to Swype, which allows us to write by sliding our finger over the letters and also synchronize our writing with the cloud, which allows us to be able to enjoy this keyboard on other devices without having to “teach” our way of writing to the application again.
