FlickType Half-screen and Classic Keyboard updates

I'm a great fan of this app and just want to say...keep up the great work! And thank you.

Thanks a bunch for the updates, I am finding myself using the app more and more everyday. I do have a couple of questions though.

In the settings, there are two settings that I was kind of hoping someone might be able to provide more clarification on.

The first is "Visual Announcements", not sure what this does exactly.

The second one is, what is the difference between the "Tap Feedback on Touch Up" vs. "Touch Down"? Even with the text below this setting, not really sure as to what it does and the difference between one and the other. I'm sure it is probably very simple too.

Thanks!

Hi Ashley, thank you so much for the explanation. It makes more sense now.

Thanks again and keep up the wonderful work.

Thanks for the consistent updates. The keyboard keeps getting better. Its extremely intuitive and has greatly increased my productivity on a daily basis. I probably use this keyboard on 98 % of tasks I do.

The only time I'm not using keyboard is when entering credentials. When I have to enter usernames and passwords manually, I find using the Apple touch keyboard faster option for me. Otherwise, everything else is with FlickType.

Hey, just wanted to comment that this will be the update I am most excited about. I currently don’t use the flicktype keyboard although I pay a monthly subscription as the full screen keyboard completely changes the way you need to interact with the device. I have been waiting for the update which would give flicktype the same user experience as other iOS keyboards as I find it essential to be able to access the screen behind the keyboard while using. Happy to support until this update lands even while not actively using. Would you also be able to comment on any differences between flicktype and flecsis dictionary as flicktype seems to have significantly less words included in its standard dictionary, the obvious ones are swear words but I find myself having to manually enter words when I tried it far more than I remember having to with flecsi. Thanks again for a great app and I hope it proves financially viable so you can continue development on it.

I use to like how fleksy did capitle letters, you would type a letter like normal, then just do a swipe up to capitalise the letter.

Entering numbers could be done two ways, there was a number on the row which had some common symbols, after entering that number swiping up and down would change the numbers.

The other way was to switch to the numbers, which happened to be like a numeric keypad.

I'm basing this off what was later dubbed fleksy VO.

Gotta say I much prefer the way FlickType does it. The 3D touch to capitalize a letter is absolutely beautiful. I also like how the number and punctuation keyboards mirror the standard iOS keyboard.
At first I was also unsure of these changes, but I very quickly got used to them and found them great.
