Swype Keyboard (App)

Customer Review

Actually, I use exclusively free apps and so I was very happy when I was able to get the Swype app during a free action, it is still the leader among the input and word recognition apps. I use Swype in March 2014. HTC one M7. On my old S3 I use to be the SwiftKey keyboard.

In general, the app is designed very intuitively. As an Austrian, I often use words that do not exist in the dictionary. There is absolutely no problem to add these words.

Initially, the keyboard was still without blemish and very fluid, but the last few weeks, it depends again and crashes very often on, even sometimes tears while the app with in the Swype should just write. Meanwhile FINALLY is an update since, let's see if something has changed.

What is even more striking, the number of authorizations that requires this app is ludicrous:

-Ungefährer Location (network-based)
-Genauer Location (GPS and network-based)
Read -SMS or MMS
Access to all networks
Retrieving Network Connections
Retrieve -WLAN connections
-Google Play license check
-Telefonanrufe
Retrieve -Telefonstatus and identity
Modify or delete -USB memory contents
-Bluetooth
Perform -Pairing with Bluetooth devices
Record -Audio
Read -Contacts
Read -Anrufliste
Read access My Dictionary
Search accounts on the device
-Access To protected storage test
Control -Vibrationsalarm
Disable -Ruhezustand

One app that everything will notice almost what you type into the phone (also passwords !!!), you should be able to trust. Here, however, I do me really hard. In several Android forums is among other big issue that Swype polls the user location every day thousands of times and sends them to the manufacturer. According update description of these "errors" (?) Has been fixed.

The bland flavor of the remains, unfortunately, is only 2 star ago.

ADDENDUM: Since a few days there the way the time-honored WorterkennungsApp SwiftKey for free in PlayStore.
