SwiftKey X says ‘Thank You’ for 5 Million downloads, puts app on Sale

Over the course of your Android history, you will stumble across many keyboard alternatives. Very rarely will you find one that you truly enjoy to use. As a general rule of thumb, looking at keyboards that have a great set of comments and a huge following are a good indication that it might worth your time to check out. SwiftKey X from TouchType is one of those keyboards.

They have recently amassed 5 million downloads of their keyboard and are still ranking a 4.5 star rating. If that doesn’t prove to you that this is an awesome keyboard then we don’t know what will, other than you trying it out. In celebration of their accomplishment, and to give a little back, TouchType is offering the hugely popular full version for 25% off. The catch?? you only have through the weekend to snag it for about a buck off. This special isn’t just limited to the phone version either, they also have the SwiftKey Tablet X on sale as well. You can snag both of them for a little under $7. Not a bad price for a very well done and functional keyboard.

TouchType knows that people generally don’t like to spend money on something unless they get a chance to check it out a bit first. That is why they also have a FREE version of both keyboards available for you to check out a head of time. It is worth looking into and if you fall in love with it, like we think you might, then you best snag the paid versions before the sale is over.

New Users Can Get 25 Percent off SwiftKey This Weekend

London, UK – February 17, 2012 – SwiftKey, an award-winning smart keyboard for Android that understands how words work together to give better predictions and corrections, has updated its core language data to make typing informal messages easier (http://www.swiftkey.net).

The update comes as SwiftKey passes 5 million downloads, as well as one million personalizations, where users let the app learn their writing style from Gmail, Twitter and Facebook posts to further improve typing accuracy.

The update is available for free to current users, and to celebrate the milestone, this weekend new users can buy SwiftKey for 25 percent off the retail price, normally $3.99 / (£2.49)
“The technology behind SwiftKey has been developed so that we’re able to innovate quickly and rapidly develop new features and improvements,” Dr Ben Medlock, CTO, said. “Responding to user demand, we’ve now updated our language models to make it easier to use informal language with SwiftKey, making it faster at completing and correcting messages being sent to family and friends.”
SwiftKey, which is nominated for Most Innovative Mobile App at this year’s Global Mobile Awards held at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, is unique in that it creates a truly personal language model based on a user’s historic typing, SMS, social media and email accounts. The more a user personalizes SwiftKey, the better and faster the keyboard becomes at correcting and predicting their individual text input.
“We’ve had impressive consumer downloads of SwiftKey in the last year, reaching the No.1 top paid app position in the Android Market,” Medlock continued. “It’s significant that we’ve also now passed one million personalizations, showing the strong consumer demand for a personalized typing experience.”
SwiftKey can be downloaded from Amazon Market and Android Market. Seehttp://www.swiftkey.net/download for more.
