User Reviews for FlickType - Watch Keyboard

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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…

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!
