User Reviews

Flit Keyboard is praised for its excellent performance on small screens and smartwatches with accurate, quick, and customizable typing using an innovative slide input system. Users find it reliable and well-designed with helpful UI features for tiny devices. However, recurring issues include the lack of a voice input option, missing enter key in some apps, compatibility problems on certain devices, and some UI glitches. The expiration of the dictionary plugin also drew criticism. Overall, users appreciate its unique approach to virtual keyboards but desire more features and better device support.

Pros

Optimized for small screens including smartwatches, making it highly usable on devices with limited display space.
Accurate and quick typing experience, superior to standard keyboards, with good customization options.
Innovative slide or flick input method helps ease typing on small screens and is appreciated by users.
Longtime reliability and great design with minimal problems reported.
Unique input features like a large window for letter selection on small buttons enhance usability on tiny devices.

Cons

Lack of voice input/microphone button, which users have requested multiple times for easier text entry.
No visible enter key in some contexts, limiting functionality in certain apps like Pixiv or search fields.
Issues with compatibility on newer or certain devices (e.g., Motorola RAZR external screen, difficulty enabling on some watches).
The English dictionary plugin has an expiration date, seen as selfish by some users.
Some users experience UI quirks like text in long messages going off-screen with no proper scrolling.

Hi, Thanks for this app. I would like to ask you release updated version so that it would be possible to use on Motorola RAZR external screen as I got message that this app made for older version of Android. With best regards,

Love this keyboard. If you want much faster typing, use the keyboard editor and move the letters so that you have: on the top row [bjindfugxq], on the middle row [,'aerotyp.], and on the bottom row [zvlsmchwk down cursor]. This is the Aerotype Keyboard and it is a non-qwerty layout I designed for one finger typing on Flit. You'll be shocked how fast and accurately you can type anything you want on our own, without autocorrect. You'll spend most of your typing time on the center two buttons!
