The keyboard is one of the most important features of smartphones, it is what allows us to interact more with the device and all its functions. Despite this, the manufacturing companies have never developed the keyboards that remain good or bad the same as always, let’s think for example of the iPhone which is the same since 2007.

To give another example, I believe that the best keyboard that has ever been made on an Android smartphone is that of Samsung’s Note3 which, oddly enough, has not been implemented on any other smartphone from the South Korean company.

FLEKSY

Fleksy is a keyboard born a few years ago and is counted among the alternatives of the most famous keyboards. It was born to provide an alternative way of typing on touch displays compared to the classic QWERTY keyboards.

Added to this is the marked tendency to keep data private to increase the privacy of the owners, as stated by the developer who claims that all data is stored locally.

I like shortcut keys, where you can add a row of shortcut keys for functions and IDs, phrases infrequently used emails.

Fleksy has developed its suite of services to help users find everything in an uncluttered layout. They call them mini-apps. There is a search button to search for news via Qwant, a search engine that respects privacy.

You can find GIFs, emojis and there is also a personalized artificial intelligence that recommends food and other apps based on your searches. Then some Vboard has categories for food, news, sports, music, and even games. Other Fleksy mini-apps include Vimodji and Vlipsy.

The app is supported by advertising and is provided with in-app purchases to unlock more features, themes, and packages.

AnySoftKeyboard

AnySoftKeyboard is a free and open-source keyboard app (FOSS) for Android smartphones. It is a useful alternative to SwiftKey for those who need something that is focused on privacy and security. At the time of installation, the app will ask you if you want to give it access to read your contacts or not.

It comes with gesture support and text prediction but lacks advanced features like third-party app integration we’ve seen in some of the keyboard apps above.

Emojis are supported, but there is no search for GIFs. It can be used as a standalone app or in combination with other apps when entering sensitive information such as passwords.
