Congrats Robleh! I'd love to hear more about how launching the idea for Next on Kickstarter influenced your development. After this experience, would you recommend that other app developers take a similar approach?

@mimurchison Launching on Kickstarter was great! We quickly became the most funded app, but more importantly it got the word out about our product. Building with our community has also been great and I would highly suggest going this route when building a product. It provides a perspective you just can’t get when building products in a silloed environment. I don't think Kickstarter may not be the best place for apps (issues with distribution), but I think as more devs begin using the platform to create digital products, things will get easier.

Looks nice, congrats ! Is there an AZERTY keyboard or only QWERTY ?
Robleh Jama
@davidbellaiche Only QWERTY for launch. We had to focus on the critical few. But AZERTY is coming!

just bought and tried. awesome. love the quick cursor which is THE feature for me. i wish it handled multi language as swiftkey does. this is why i will probably stick to that one for now

Congratulations! Unfortunately, custom keyboard in iOS are horribly broken on the OS level. Apple's fault, not keyboard makers. Hope they fix it in iOS 9. Notice any improvements in the beta? Too bad as some of these keyboard really add value but if they crash multiple times a day it is incredibly frustrating. I think it has to do with memory allocation.

I deleted the stock English keyboard this morning and Next is now my default. I'm on the iOS9 beta and it's been a very stable experience thus far. Well done, team, really enjoyable product.

Really nice keyboard that always gets people attention. Would love to hear from @Robjama on how the progress is with the AI text prediction & autocorrect as I find this to be a crutch for me as I am so used to Swiftkey.
Robleh Jama
@blakefolgado Thanks Blake! We're making good progress on our prediction engine. V1 is getting great reviews so far. We totally agree. That's the most important part of a great keyboard experience. Autocorrect is a huge problem. It's been fun trying to tackle it, bit by bit
