What's the Best Android Keyboard?

What's the Best Android Keyboard?


One great thing about Android is that you can use whatever keyboard suits your needs. Custom dictionaries, themes, layouts, whatever you need, there's a keyboard to match. This week, we want to know which ones you think are the best.


Of course, part of the reason we're bringing this up is because SwiftKey, the keyboard that won our poll the last time we did it, just dropped its price tag and is free for everyone. It's a great keyboard, but its competition has come a long way too—especially the default Google Keyboard, which is leaps and bounds better than it used to be. Still, there are plenty of others out there too. Let's hear your favorite in the discussions below.


Let's hear your vote in the discussions below! To cast your vote, follow these guidelines:



  1. Follow this format for your vote, including the bold print. If you don't, it won't be counted:
    A SCREENSHOT OR LOGO OF THE BEST ANDROID KEYBOARD

    Vote: [BEST ANDROID KEYBOARD]


    Why: Why is this keyboard the one you think is the best? Maybe it knows what you're about to type before you type it. Maybe it has multiple layouts, or custom dictionaries, or it's fast and flexible. Make your case! Try to keep it to a single paragraph, maybe two.




  2. Don't duplicate nominations! Instead, if someone's nominated your pick, star (recommend) it to give it a boost, and reply with your story instead.

  3. Please don't leave non-entry, direct comments on this post. They'll just get pushed down. Save your stories for others' submissions!


If you're not sure what we mean, just check out the nominations by our writers below. We'll give you a head start, and they should all be in the proper format, so you can just follow our lead.
