When it works properly, the Swype keyboard is AMAZING. I can type things faster and easier and is simply the better way to text. However, the app will very often freeze on the numeric keyboard and eternally become useless. Even after removing the keyboard from settings and reinstalling the app, the problem still occurs and it's gotten to the point where I can't use it anymore. I'm really disappointed about this bug and would have otherwise rated the app 5 stars.

The Swype keyboard freezes in iOS 11.2, even writing this review I am having to use the old traditional type EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER separately! Swype gets stuck on the number keys and won’t go back to the alpha keyboard.

I used to love this keyboard. Lately it’s been locking up constantly and I have to either restart my phone or turn off Swype and turn on. Sometimes that doesn’t even work. More issues than there ever used to be. Please fix! I

I HAVE DOWNLOADED IT TWICE AND MY KEYBOARD FREEZES AND SOMETIMES THE BOTTOM ROW ON MY KEYBOARD DISAPPEARS.

I've been a long time paid supporter of Swype. I keep current with iPhones and iOS, sans the X. Glitchy enough I finally removed it. Literally 3-5 times a day while typing Swype would just stop responding. The solution was to head to the keyboard settings and remove full access and re-enable it. Always fixed the issue but lord it went from once or twice a week to multiple times a day.

The keyboard looks cool and the background of it but I wouldn’t recommend it. It often misspells words and does not do good with long paragraphs. Don’t buy.

Please fix the bug!!! If I press backspace too much or if I'm typing swiping whatever it will lock on the number group. I can't type anything at all because the keyboard freezes even if I'm trying to refresh my imessage. The only way I can't fix is is by going to setting and not giving the app access to my phone then giving it access again

Skype was never perfect but it was my preferred option until iOS 11, when it started freezing - couldn’t type; usually had to restart. Bye.
