This… this looks and acts almost EXACTLY like the stock Android keyboard. The swipes to accept a correction and to delete a word are new, and the graphic design of the keyboard is more minimalist - but the core functionality of "spellchecks based on words you could spell with keys near the ones you actually hit" and "shows autocorrect candidates in a horizontal row above the keys" is absolutely identical.

It's a shame iOS is so monolithic, if you could wedge in a new keyboard like you can on Android, I would totally be willing to shell out some bucks for this because I really loathe the iOS autocorrect experience compared to the Android.

I don't think the similarity to the stock Android keyboard is coincidental. The authors of this previously made Blindtype which was purchased by Google.

Hope they hired a good lawyer to review the IP transfer agreements they signed in the previous sale.
