SwiftKey kicks off summer sale with new themes, price cuts | Android Central
I'm a sucker for updates and saw swiftkey had an update that addressed performance... and i missed the ice theme... so i installed it on my G3.
I always thought swiftkey ran well on my N4 and G2 so no surprise it runs well on the G3 and use to the predictive texting and performance.
But I have to say that except differences that may or may not matter to most, like how swiftkey has better next word prediction and slight key layouts, the LG keyboard runs as well as the swiftkey and I wouldnt have any issues living with the LG keyboard.
I wish swiftkey had height adjustment like the LG but I find that with the taller G3 screen, having the number bar up top is acceptable where on my G2 it took up so much screen that I didnt like the size of the typing area left and would eliminate the number bar. If the LG keyboard just had the same next word prediction that swiftkey has... then it would be perfect for me.
btw, I am using a plain white theme on the swiftkey now... i love the ice theme color and like the falling snow effect when swyping, but there is a huge lag in the beginning when you go into the app and press the typing area... a huge delay before the keyboard pops up then it's ok. but just irritating. with the other simpler themes it pops right up and runs smooth.
I'll play with the swiftkey for now but may just go back to the LG. But next word prediction it nice. Maybe next LG update hopefully.
