swiftkey

About a month ago I started looking for a keyboard replacement for my HTC Incredible. I tried a few different apps and have decided that SwiftKey works best for me. What I like about SwiftKey is it tries to predict what I’m writing. It suggests the next logical word in my sentences and it does […]
