What is the size of device that you are trying Swype on? In my experience, Swype-like keyboards are best on smaller screens. Also I greatly prefer Swype-like keyboards for any one-handed use. (It's a shame that Swype-like keyboards are only available from third-party developers — and thus crippled by Apple – in the next small screen phone)
- gnicholas 10y agoThis is a good point. I tried it for a while on an iPhone 6, but I didn't type faster and there were some bugs that frustrated me so I quit. I now have an iPhone 7 Plus, and for some reason I've had a hankering to try it again. Maybe it's because I can no longer use my phone one-handed, and it seems like a good idea to hold with one hand and swype with the other? I can see how swype would have a comparative advantage on smaller devices, though I'm not sure I could swype well with the thumb of the hand that is holding the device. Do people swype with thumbs? Or just the index finger?

That is a steeper learning curve but faster top speeds: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nintype/id796959534?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nintype/id796959534?mt=8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M6DS9Gyf2LM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M6DS9Gyf2LM
