Haven't tried it. I've been using SwiftKey for years. Haven't found another keyboard that I like better yet. I'll check it out though.

I'd be incredibly wary of using a keyboard made by the data mining company Cheetah mobile

If you are going to use it, then at the very least read the privacy policy... and keep your fingers crossed about what they are doing with every character that you type....

As our dear friend Crashdamage would say, Cheetah mobile apps are bad, period, uninstall it and never again download any of them. :)

Run from all cheetah products. I can just imagine all the key logging going on with their keyboard. Yikes!

Time to change banking passwords. Seriously.

Other then just hating them, did anyone have any actual details about cheetah keyboards? I get it you don't like their products. Other then assumptions and inferences did anyone have any facts? I'd like to point out Facebook and Google data mine too so, everything is ****, I get it, has anyone had personal bad experiences, if not just say so or at least an Idk but I don't trust because;reasons.

Since you seem to be ok with Cheetah products I suggest you download lots of them. Most of us have already used them and that's why we wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

okay lets say Google and Cheetah are mining our data.but i personally prefer my data to be mined by Google compared to Cheetah.personal preference.
