Could use more..

I think this app is super helpful, esp when I’m at work and can’t check my phone or take the time to write out the letters to send a message to someone. However, I think the app would be perfect if it could be implemented as an option while in the messages app. You know how you’re about to respond to someone and you have the option of dictation, emojis, writing, etc to compose a message? I feel like flicktype should be an option too just so the app would be easier to access on Apple Watch. Other than that I think this app is super and simple! Addition: while putting the app on the watch face, sometimes it glitches and uses 3 little dotted line beneath the actual app itself. Don’t know if it’s because of the watch face I use or just a little glitch.

Useful and surprisingly accurate keyboard!

I’ve enjoyed my time with Flicktype so far. While it’s unfortunate that Apple doesn’t yet support 3rd party input methods in the stock Messages app, the developer has implemented some clever workarounds that I think work almost just as well to make replying to messages with a full keyboard on the watch so easy. The keyboard itself works surprisingly well for such a small screen and I keep finding myself shocked as the correct word pops on screen after I just tapped the keyboard on screen a few times in almost the exact same places. Other than the lack of being able to directly reply to notifications (again, out of the developer’s control) everything about this feels “stock” and exactly how Apple themselves would handle this sort of functionality within watchOS. I think this is a great example to show Apple how much 3rd party input methods would benefit the next version of watchOS!

I can’t “Unlock Now” or hit the Settings button without a pop up error, every time I try.

I purchased the FlickType app back on August 28, 2020 from the App Store when it cost $1.99 and did not have in-app purchases and have it installed on my Apple Watch, but I cannot use customization features whatsoever, like swiping to type and autocorrect because when I open the iPhone app and am on the “Watch” screen, hitting either the “Settings” button or the “Unlock Now” button results with a pop up error that reads “Error performing request.” I have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it, and there are 0 results on this issue searching Google. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and have had no success. I am using it on an iPhone X running iOS 14.3 and my Apple Watch Series 4. I REALLY hope the developer helps me figure out what is going wrong because I had high hopes for this being on my watch and all I can do is manually type without autocorrect, so it’s basically useless at this point. This issue has persisted since I paid for the app several months ago and am so frustrated that I am apparently the only person having this issue…

Great app! (also one request)

This is a great app and it has a very fast keyboard. The only issue is whenever I mistype a word and hit space and I want to go back after to correct it, it deletes the whole word and I have to start over. Although this can be convenient, it can also be annoying and can slow down the process of typing sometimes. If it is possible, I only ask that you add an option in settings to turn that feature off ( the feature where backspace deletes the whole word instead of a letter). This would be great. Other than that, FlickType is a great app and I recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the default scribble option Apple Watch currently has. OFF TOPIC: I also recommend the app Watch Notes as it is convenient to switch between notes on the iPhone and Apple Watch and it works very well with this app.

Almost Perfect...

I was initially very interested in this app for its Apple Watch functionalities- as I often find myself replying to messages without my phone and scribbling them out is a huge pain. I love the keyboard layout, and the ability to scroll between words to pick the correct one. It’s a faster, far more convenient way for me to reply to texts when I am unable to use my phone. HOWEVER. I am literally unable to type out any words that the app doesn’t recognize, which is a BIG problem for me. I tried adding a few to the dictionary on the phone, but thus far it has not translated over. I know I have the option to scribble specific words if I need to, but I got this app to get AWAY from that. This would be a perfect 5 star review if I was simply able to cancel the auto-correct to type the word I want without it insisting on the wrong letter to find the closest word to its internal dictionary.

Awesome keyboard!

I never write reviews for anything, but I saw a post about this keyboard on Reddit and it was getting a lot of positive feedback. I figured what the hell I would check it out. So far I’m really enjoying it! It’s a little weird having to close the text message app and open the FlickType complication to type but I’m assuming that’s because Apple doesn’t allow perfect integration. It’s not weird enough to knock the rating down though. I’m still learning all the gestures but the predictive text so far has been pretty solid and after a bit more time with it I’m sure I’ll have it down. It’s definitely increased my typing speed on my wrist at least 20 times over. Definitely get this app if you find yourself typing on your wrist even a couple times a day!

Great typing experience on iPhone and apple watch.

I've been using FlickType for over a year now and can't tell you how much time it has saved me typing out messages, emails, and so much more. I used to use a lot of shorthand when writing messages because typing out whole words sometimes just took so much time. I'm happy to say that FlickType changed this and I don't feel quite so bad or dread writing email messages anymore. Having FlickType on apple watch is also a good experience. I can't say I would leave my phone at home just yet and use my watch alone, but for those times when my phone is in my backpack and I can't use speech to text for what ever reason, FlickType is their for me when I really need to send those messages or two.

Good, but only halfway there.

Overall it saves me time, but I still cannot understand why there’s still no option to select numbers, special characters, etc without having to take extra time to scribble which defeats half of the purpose. Please bring this feature! Also for some reason when you do scribble (for instance, a question or exclamation mark) it leaves a space that you cannot get rid of after the text you want to add said special character to. Also would be great to edit text suggestions when you want to enter a name or something and it doesn’t let you! Again making you take extra time to go into scribble and doing it that way. This app is supposed to save you time but often it does the opposite. I hope you can bring about these changes in the near future and I’ll give it 5 stars.

Free version Apple Watch works!

Okay, so on watch you use the app, type out your message, then select who you’re sending to. I can’t figure out if paying for the Pro version will allow typing for other use cases/apps on Watch, and the developer didn’t respond to my email when asked what the paid Pro version does differently. So remove one star for that, but I may try paying for pro version and seeing what happens…. Not sure yet. Forgot what the prices are.

Loved It!

It was very easy use and setup! It helps me on a day to day basis especially if I am somewhere where I can’t use dictation or scribble because it’s very time consuming. At first, I was skeptical about how small the watch’s interface was. I have the series 3 and not the 4 or 5, and the 3 and below series have smaller interfaces. But, the spacing between the letters were just perfect! I’d also like to add that I don’t have great handwriting. (I’ll admit.) So scribble takes a long time to recognize my words I draw. So with “FlickType” it was very easy and better for me! I found it on TikTok. I was kind of bummed it was two dollars but it was worth it, and I am really thankful! I never really write reviews for apps but this one was so good, I wrote one ! 5 stars!!!

Really sad

I had initially bought the app when it was free. I just now opened the app on my phone for the first time in forever, and when I tried to use it on my watch it’s asking me to unlock the app, which, when I attempt to unlock, asks me to pay ≈$7. While this does deter me from using the app, I still found the app to be very useful and intuitive. The app guessed whatever you typed with very good accuracy! You could simply type a letter by holding it down in order to bypass this guessing system (if the word gets autocorrected incorrectly). I don’t know if payment is necessary for the app’s usage, but I do know that this app is very useful!

Must Have Watch App

This is a must have app for any Apple Watch owner. I’m a newer Watch owner and found the native messages app options a little tough to use for responses with the speech or funny swipe option. I’m not going to lie. I was skeptical at first on buying a keyboard app. After doing research, this app was listed as THE keyboard app for the Apple Watch. I bought it and haven’t looked back or regretted my choice. It makes using the messages app on the Apple Watch sooo much easier. This is how the native messages app should’ve been made to handle returning messages. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a keyboard app to use with their messages on the Apple Watch. You won’t regret it!

Immediately charges you without allowing you to try it first…

This was the worst waste of $10! I only downloaded it because it described itself as allowing me to do something my Apple Watch wouldn’t only to find out it only did exactly what other FREE apps do. Most apps would give you Atleast a 3 day trial, even 1 day would have been better than forcing me to pay for it immediately before even knowing for sure that it did what I was seeking. Upon opening the app and seeing its functionality, which was unhelpful and trash, I requested a refund to no avail. I didn’t even keep the app on my phone for 15 minutes but it cost me money. Apple won’t refund it because it’s a “private app” and not one backed my Apple…..and I’m sure it’s developer won’t either. Just don’t download it….waste of time, space, and money!

Great app for typing on watch

This is a fantastic app for anyone who wants to use their Apple Watch to reply to messages instead of having to take out their phones. Keyboard comes up very quickly and the response is great. Picks up words typed correctly 99.9% of the time with the only issues being if you try and use slang which an option is being worked on to add in common words outside the normal English language. Love the app just wish Apple would allow it to directly work with the messages app instead of having to open the app separate.

3 years ago, B & R

Ok, needs update

The app is good but hampered by Apple not allowing it to work directly with the iMessage app. The workaround that is shown in the video to reply to a message by swiping down to dismiss it does not work. It does dismiss the message, yes, but the keyboard does not come up. Also, the documentation says that if you to a two finger tap the next word will start with a capital letter. That does not work. Also pressing down with two fingers does not allow me to see the whole text that has been typed in. It would be good if there was a way to have an all caps option. Or an all caps keyboard and all lower case keyboard that could be toggled back and forth.

Great app.

I don’t see why this isn’t already on the Apple Watch, but the creator did such a great job. It doesn’t feel like some weird 3rd party app. It just feels like it’s apart of my watch. The app works perfectly and I’m on a smaller 40mm watch. I was honestly surprised how well it works. I figured I would be pressing a bunch of letters I didn’t want to, but I don’t. Perfect for those that don’t like the built in texting options. Highly recommend for anyone using an Apple Watch. Might even consider it a must have if you plan on texting on your watch a lot.

Good useful app!

I have an iPhone 7📱and Apple Watch 4 - 44mm. ⌚️ This app is really useful in situations when the Apple watch can’t regognize my voice when there is too much noise, or can not use my voice (in a library) to respond to a message. The autocorrect is useful. It all works perfect and simple when it is in English. but sometimes if i’m using an other language, it wants to autocorrect to english, and can not turn it off (at the moment). I contacted the developer and the developer said he is working on that in the next update! 😉 So good work ! 😁👍

Terrible

This app is a great idea mixed with the worst predictive text ever. Every message I try to type ends with me using the Digital Crown for every single word and some words are not even in the predictive text and even after adding the word to the dictionary the words will still not be able to be selected. This could all be fixed with the option to turn off the predictive text but this app won’t let you do that. The keyboard is great works amazing and knows exactly the letter you want to hit so I don’t understand why they would ruin this by adding a predictive text that changes the words you are typing. As an example every time I try to send someone a message saying “Hey” I type out H-E-Y and it will auto correct to “Get” every single time!

This app is Magic!

I use Flick Type on the Apple Watch and guys and gals, boys and girls, this app is Magic. As long as you tap in the general vicinity of the correct letter on the screen, it's like the keyboard can read your mind and correctly decide what word you intended to type. The developer is also incredibly responsive to customer requests. That says a lot about the person behind this app. Which is important because I think that says this app is only going to get better and better. Well worth the cost of admission.

Amazing

This app is literally life saving. The ability to actually type out messages and have it recognize and interpret your typing is so good. I struggle with the drawing letters deal because he screen size isn’t big enough. This app saves me so much time replying to messages and tweeting from my watch. Also love the FlickType Notes app so I can take quick notes on the go without having to take my phone out. Absolute must have for Apple Watch owners. Apple needs to support 3rd party keyboards system wide.

Not For Morons

This app has way more bad ratings than it deserves from people who aren’t bothering to even try using it right. I don’t mind the couple of extra steps it takes to use it on the watch considering otherwise, I don’t even have a keyboard And no, you don’t HAVE to pay to use it. The keyboard works ON THE WATCH for free if you open it on the watch! You have to pay if you want the extra features. Huge thank you to the developer for this app!

Better Implementation than Apple Engineers

Keyboard is essential part of our communication. However, typing on small screen is even harder for person with big fingers like me 🏈. Right now, I wanted to exaggerate how good the app is, but it won’t do justice to the app. Instead I want to see it for yourselves some magic ✨. But the real make or break deal here is one-time purchase option. In a world of subscription based app, this is blessing. You support the developer, you bless yourselves, and everyone is win-win. 🍾

Superior and superb

I wish to express my gratitude to the developer of FlickType. When it comes to typing long reviews or documents, this is a wonderful keyboard to use. It allows me to type much faster than I can type on the original keyboard. Since I cannot see the keys but know how the letters are located on a standard keyboard, I only need to touch close to where I believe they are and FlickType does the rest with spectacular accuracy. Thank you for continuing to improve on this already wonderful app.

Great Keyboard for Apple Watch

This has been an excellent addition for the Apple Watch. I’ve had it for a couple of days and have already gotten used to using it, it’s predictions are accurate, and I haven’t encountered problems. I never used to use my watch to respond because I hate the drawing/texting way that it handles responses. Have not used the app on my iPhone at all, so cannot attest to anything from that standpoint. Overall, extremely pleased and recommending to everyone.

4 years ago, wolfiieb

Only thing I’d say

It works great and it’s more accurate than I expected. But the only thing I’d say is if there can be an option to use the FlickType app in the messages app. Like There isn’t an option to reply to messages with flicktype. I can read my message notification and then I’d have to dismiss it and go to the flicktype app in order to reply. I’ve seen an option to use it on other apps like the reddit nano app though... Other than that I’d say the app is perfect and very convenient

Ehhh...liked the previous version better on Apple Watch

So I use this a lot on my watch, but I’ve got to say that I prefer the keyboard mechanics of the previous version. Before if you wanted to erase a word, you swiped from right to left. Now, you have to tap the teeny tiny back space button on the lower right corner of the watch, which is next to impossible because it keeps hitting the space bar and inserting all kinds of garbage into your message. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I do like the look of the redesign, but the functionality and ease of use went out the door with the update .

5 years ago, IndigoCellist

A brilliant app.

I came to this app from the days of Fleksy, so have been well schooled as to its functionality, and usefulness. Yes, there is slide to type, which has its place, however, I find FlickType to be a much faster, and more accurate means of entering text quickly. Add to this the watch extension, the ability to literally type on your wrist, and the awesome factor goes into the stratosphere. Very nice job guys, keep on doing what you do... By the way, this review has been composed using FlickType. Love it!

Time saver, but a few flaws.

This is seriously the best app to come to Apple Watch, but there could be a few improvements. Just some ideas: It gets really annoying having to grab my phone because the app thinks I’m spelling a name wrong, and I haven’t found a way to add a word to the dictionary. They also don’t have the word your typing in the list of words they think you are trying to spell. So you have to grab your phone or talk into the watch. But sometimes speaking is the same way, it doesn’t know how to spell personal names etc. It would also be really cool if this worked for multiple applications and not just iMessage. For example emails, and messenger for Facebook. Only two complaints, so over all a great app and worth the money. Especially if they can fix at the least the first problem I stated.

Stay away from this app

You’re going to pay a one time fee on your phone and try to sync it with your watch and then when it doesn’t work, you’re going to reach out to their support email times and they will never get back with you. This has been going on well over a week with me and I’ve had enough. everyone knows the rule is you get back with customers within 24 to 48 hours. This is one of the most pathetic and frustrating developers I’ve run across…. and before I reach out to them, I googled and used AI and tried every single option It gave me to solve the problem, but to no avail. Booo flick type 😡😡😡

Better than I thought

To be honest, I thought the demonstration in the video seemed complicated but once it I realized “Wow that’s simple!” Prior to having this, I almost never replied to messages on my watch. Now, I look forward to the opportunity to send a message through this app. The only downside is not against the development but just for the fact that you have to keep it as a complication on your watch face. Other than that, super awesome app.

One of the best things about Apple Watch is realized

Getting a text on the Apple Watch is lovely, responding to a text on the same watch is a drag. Replying with an emoji or a canned word is underwhelming. Enter FlickType. A full texting experience on your wrist. After using it a few times, now I feel confident that sitting in a meeting and texting to my hearts delight. Even my wife got it figured out and hasn’t stopped pestering me with messages. No longer can I sit on my throne and not be bothered.

Excellent for Apple Watch

Disclaimer: This app was gifted to me as a promotion. This app is a must-have. High stability, reliability, and a clever implementation of the complication make this app a robust addition for power users especially. I like that I can put emojis in messages now rather than sending them separately. 😃 Although I did get this app as a promotion, after using it for a week it is in my repertoire of complications I use daily and would gladly pay for it. Seriously a bargain.

Made my Apple Watch fun again

Heard about this app from a social media platform and ended up stumbling upon it a few days later. It was very hard for me to get used to at first but I definitely can’t go without it now. My Apple Watch was already useful but grew pretty boring until I found this app. The added complication makes things so much easier. I wish the native iOS system would integrate this with more applications!

Won’t let me write my name

This app has a great concept and it’ll be wonderful when they get the bugs out. But it’s not useful to me right now because it’s very inaccurate. My name is Jonny, but it repeatedly spells out Jimmy, no matter how I try to adjust where I’m typing. I finally managed to type out “Jo” but when I tried to add the “n” it changed the “Jo” and spelled “kin.” Trying to type other words gives the same sort of problems, so it’s unfortunately not at all functional for me. Worked perfectly on the video review I watched, but not for me. I look forward to the update, and will revise my review if it starts working for me.

Best app for WatchOS

To start, I have only used the app on my Apple Watch. I haven’t used it on my iPhone. This is by far the most useful app I have ever used on the watch. Before I starting using this app I would usually have to pull my phone out to respond to text messages since the default replies on the watch are generally useless. FlickType has made it so easy to respond to messages using only my watch and it’s surprisingly accurate!

4 years ago, UNDISCRIBED

Good potential but not there yet.

The keyboard works great but you CANNOT reply to a text from the iPhone messaging app. You can only send texts through this app on your watch which also makes you confirm twice to send. Would be nice if after you hit there name it just send without having to hit send again. The keyboard it great but the fact that after you receive a message you have to close that app, open another app, text the app, hit send, then hit send again. Just too many steps for such a simple task. Not worth it, yet until they can integrate it into the stock messaging app like on the iPhone.

Amazing app

This app is great well worth the price. I just got the apple watch SE 44mm and I was skeptical at first but it REALLY had everything and the developers actually seemed to include all asks into their updates. Most of the complaints seem to answered in this version update. The swipe function was exactly what i was looking for on top of having a favorite contact to text since texting to me should be about speed at this point. I’m hoping we can add up to three max fav contacts in the future, and i’m curious how this works for group messages? Is there a way to add groups as favs? Will there potentially be a way to move the cursor back and edit text instead of deleting everything and retyping? Excellent job for having such an easy input app for typing. Really looking forward to the next update!

It’s good

I honestly think it’s good for an app and wonder why apple didn’t just make it optional for us to go with something similar to it I’m happy with it and now that I see how it works I truly wonder why people even have something negative to say about. It does everything that the app specifically says. I think most people just really need to read things and research them as well before purchasing them.

Oops - works as expected

I changed my rating from 1 to 4 but can't seem to access my original review. Swipe type wasn't working but I got it to. The trick is to swipe very gently or it just types one letter. Not a 5 because I'd prefer to use it within the Messages app. I knew that was not possible going in but warning to everyone else. That's an Apple limitation, I believe, not the app's fault but that still makes the app less than ideal.

Auto-Correction & launching

Overall the app is pretty good, but what is annoying to me when try to type certain words in slang or just words I spell different it won’t let me type it what so ever and it will keep giving me words I don’t want. Another thing is when I click the app it takes a little bit too long to launch but just by a couple seconds, it just almost looks like the app gets stuck. Other than that, the app is good👍🏼

Disappointed

So I downloaded this app for the reason being that it’s such a hassle to have to be scribbling a message off my Apple Watch and i thought this app was going to make it easier but it doesn’t .. it’s actually more of a hassle. When you receive a message and want to reply, it doesn’t even give you the keyboard option to reply off of there. You actually have to go open up the app on the watch look for the person and compose a message from there. I was really wishing this was going to make things easier, but it didn’t. I’m disappointed!

4 years ago, DAYYYUUMMM

Killer App!

I really don’t know what’s with all the low star reviews. This app is honestly pretty handy. It only replies to iMessage that I can tell, but if I’m having a full on messenger or even iMessage conversation where I type a lot, I’m gonna use my phone lol. Kudos to the developers. You all did an awesome job. I will say ONE thing I’ve noticed is it does hit my battery just a little. Maybe something to look into but seriously awesome job!

Please Remove Autocorrect!

This app is extremely helpful with the Apple Watch because scribbling letters gets on my nerves. It would be awesome if you could remove the autocorrect feature, because it won’t let me type out specific words. It would also be great if somehow this complication could be added to the option where you respond to messages on the app instead of having to leave the message app & go into FlickType

App opens very slowly

When I open the app on my watch it takes a while to open. It says to hit the “+” sign for numbers and to scroll the Digital Crown for punctuation but neither option pops up when you press these buttons. Instead you have to do write text with your finger which leaves awkward spacing that you have to go back and delete. It takes longer to do all of this than using the original texting option on the watch. I purchased hoping this would make texting on my watch quicker and easier but it just lead to more aggravation.

3 years ago, Xsunnshyne

Almost there! Very close!

The swipe feature is good. It doesn’t always get the word correctly, but I imagine a part of that issue is due to the small screen on the watch. The autocorrect for typing normally is just spot on! It’s great! My gripe: please please please! There has to be an easier way to access numbers and symbols than all the different clicks to go through. It’s just too cumbersome to have to go through so many taps just for a question mark or a number. My suggestion: if you can get true smart t9, this app would knock all other apps out of the park! I just feel for a screen this small, a true smart t9 is the way to go (aside from the swiping). My other suggestion is to make the keyboard more contextually aware, which could help autocorrect when swiping. Thanks! 👍🏻💪🏻

3 years ago, Angie(MillerTime)

Ridiculous app!

It's so very stupid that it costs ten bucks to use a simple keyboard on your phone. There are so many better options out there for free. Sure, you can use it on your watch for free, but the dang autocorrect is constantly incorrect. How do you turn autocorrect off? Let me guess, you can only do that in settings? Which to be able to access settings, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR! Who the hello kitty has EVER heard of that?!? Dumb move devs. Nobody with more than two brain cells is going to pay $10 just to be able to go into settings, and to have a simple, dime a dozen, keyboard on their phone.

Great app

I heard about this and I’ll say.. “Tik Tok made me do it”. As I never heard about this and wanted a faster way to text. I did find a way.. However, I find it difficult that all the apps I use to write, I can’t do because it doesn’t have an icon to switch to the keyboard on my Apple Watch series 3. Is this something in the works? I find it only way to actually send a message is going through iMessage for messages, then go to the app to type it out?

Love but have a suggestion

I love this little keyboard and it’s great for when I’m working and can’t access my phone. My one suggestion is maybe a copy and paste feature, although I am not sure if that is even an option for Apple watches. I use discord often and it would be awesome to be able to type out a message and then copy and paste it into my discord response.

Apple Watch!

This app has become an absolute must have in the world of Apple Watch for me! I just upgraded to a series 5 and it works BEAUTIFULLY on the 44mm screen. Not having a keyboard has been my one and only complaint with the watches so far, but now I don’t even have to sweat it. This product is simply flawless and crisp with a tactile feel. I would buy it a million times over. It’s worth it!

Doesn’t work without an iphone

Wanted to use this app for my daughter’s apple watch SE which is set up as a family watch (so no phone). Thought it would be a good option since apple restricts their keyboard to Apple watch 7+. Unfortunately this app, even though it’s meant for a watch, can only be used on watches directly paired to a phone. Works ok on my watch but I don’t type messages in my watch since I have a phone. Those that need it most -the ones without a phone- can’t use it. I will have to keep on looking for a keyboard that can be used without a phone.
