What am I doing wrong with the new iOS8 keyboard options?
They keyboard has been one of my biggest complaints since switching to an iPhone earlier this year, so I was happy when I found out that iOS8 supported third party keyboards. Downloaded Swift Key, but it isn't working all that well. It seems pretty random which keyboard it pulls up by default. Half the time it is the standard keyboard, the other half it is Swift Key. Sometimes the little "globe" icon just isn't there to switch between keyboards. And this morning I had to reboot the phone because I couldn't get any keyboard to show up at all. I'd click in a text input and nothing would come up.

Not to mention that SwiftKey for iPhone has a ways to go still. I really liked Swype and Google Keyboard on my Galaxy S3, but Swift Key is coming up with some of the most bizarre autocorrects, and there doesn't seem to be any way to select from a list of possible words. If it comes up with the wrong word the only option is to backspace the word out and then trying again.

At least Swift Key doesn't put the "Done" button right above the "P" where I accidentally hit it all the time.
