I am kinda of curious, why do you use heliboard over swiftkeys?
Not original commenter, but I got the hell off of Swiftkey after Microsoft bought it for privacy purposes. That could be why.
What do you use instead? Autocorrect is a very big issue with the other keyboards
It is the only decent AOSP-like keyboard I could find.
I am just not comfortable using a proprietary keyboard when I know that I have other options. On iOS, I do not have an option, at all!
Having said that, I do miss the better swipe gestures and autocorrect ability of the proprietary ones from time to time.
You can try FUTO keyboard
Thank you. I did come across it, back when I was looking at alternatives. Though I don’t remember why I didn’t try it out.
How is your experience with the keyboard? How does it compare with the alternatives?
Better than Heliboard by a mile. Privacy oriented Keyboard The autocorrect works well and the crazy part is the voice keyboard. Everything is offline
