How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.

I have the LG Optimus V, which does not have a physical QWERTY keyboard. My phone was pre-installed with Swype, which is a great idea but just doesn't work well if you're the type of person who likes to be quick with sending messages. The flaw of Swype is that the QWERTY keyboard layout has a lot of frequently used letters near each other or in the same Swype path. "Our" always became "out," "put" or "it" or vice versa. I could never get the correct your/you're. And on. It remembered every custom word I typed, even typos and would annoyingly always select those words over others. If you change your thought mid-word or realize you swiped in the wrong direction, you need to stop, let it display a word and then do a long hold back to delete the word. Some characters that are used a lot, like question mark, require a long hold. In short, Swype was annoying and took up too much time to correct.

I really lucked out seeing Swift Key X for a one-day free download. This is the first daily free app I've downloaded that I think is truly worth paying for. The keyboard is so fast and easy. I can seriously get like 30% accuracy and it will still know what I'm trying to say the vast majority of the time. I can type rapidly with my thumb, one-handed, no problem. The keys used most are short single-click. You can customize the layout to include arrow keys. It's actually way more customizable than Swype because Swype wasn't customizable at all. The options Swift Key X offers will fit your typing style. It learns what you say based on your emails and texts, but I turned off next word prediction because I found it didn't always get the next word right and I like the flow of just typing what I'm thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Android Keyboard July 21, 2011
I've used several different Android soft-keyboards, and this one is by far my favorite. I found Swype to not be so useful once the novelty wore off, for example.

Contrary to the privacy fear-mongers, I believe SwiftKey is pretty clear about what they do. Be aware that if you opt-in to certain personalization options, Swiftkey does collect the information you allow them access to in order to optimize your experience. This can include SMS, Twitter, and Facebook (I chose not to give them access to the last one). If you choose not to, I believe it is still an excellent keyboard, and recommend it highly. They've made it clear that they will collect and use statistical information as well, but that's a far cry from publishing your credit card info.

Overall, I think there isn't anything suspicious about what SwiftKey does. It's a fantastic app.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard! July 21, 2011
By LJ
I just bought this in the Android Market the other day for $2 (half off deal) and it's well worth $2 or $4. But it being free... you can't pass this app up.

5.0 out of 5 stars yes please July 21, 2011
By LeeG
This is my Android keyboard app of choice. I paid for it and have no regrets. Today it's free. worst case scenario... you don't like it, quit using it and uninstall. Check it out, and be sure to follow the directions how to assign a keyboard app as the default and avoid getting frustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here is a fix for lost function after update November 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great app! On most recent update I also lost use of the app and couldn't figure it out. I emailed Swiftkey and promptly got this response: "Sometimes during upgrade Android will disable the keyboard. If this happens to you just follow the steps below.
To re-enable SwiftKey go to your phone settings and choose Language & Keyboard, and make sure there is a tick in the checkbox by SwiftKey X.
Then go to any text input field, longpress, choose Input Method and choose SwiftKey X."
This last step fixed the problem for me! Great customer service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall, very impressive. July 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Just downloaded SwiftKey X and using it to type this review. So far, so good. Sure it'll take getting used to, but that's fine. The word prediction is excellent. The failure to capitalize the first word of a new sentence is odd. I also wish that the word recommendation bar slid to offer more than three words. Hopefully future updates will continue to improve it. Overall, 5 stars?

Swiftkey VS Swiftkey X??
Does Swiftkey give any advice on migrating? Even on uninstall, did it remember your user settings (and learnings) from the old version?

Thanks!

Records passwords
You are not the only one. I uninstalled Swiftkey X because I couldn't stop thinking that each time I type in a password or personal information it is stored on a server. I much rather prefer a locally stored prediction utility. I even went as far as changing my passwords.
