Flow is an on-screen keyboard that enables exceptionally fast text input on your phone. It combines many different features to improve typing speed:

- Enter each word in a single gesture (similar to Swype or SlideIT). Touch the first letter, move your finger smoothly from one key to the next, and lift it when you reach the end of the word. Spaces between words are inserted automatically.

- The keyboard layout is optimized by analyzing common patterns in English words. The QWERTY layout used by most keyboards was designed for typing with two hands, and it's a terrible layout for on-screen use. The Flow layout is optimized so common words can be entered with the shortest, smoothest path possible.

- Keys are large and evenly spaced for improved accuracy.

- The most common punctuation symbols are directly available without needing a modifier key.

- Double letters are recognized automatically. You don't need to "scribble over" them like with Swype.

- When a word is recognized, it flashes briefly on top of the keyboard. You don't need to move your eyes away from the keyboard to verify it.

- Long-press any key for a selection of alternate characters.

- Supports voice input.

- Supports both American and British English.

Try Flow today and start improving your typing speed - guaranteed, or your money back! (How many other free keyboards dare to promise THAT?) And please send feedback so we can continue to improve Flow. Suggestions and bug reports are always welcome.

    I would like to use this keyboard more as it is well thought out and designed. Too many times I have to erase a word and re-type it out as the accuracy/prediction of sliding is a little tighter then other keyboards I've used.

    The Flow app has made it possible for me to write long posts on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus almost as easily as I can on my desktop's keyboard. It's amazing that this outstanding program is free while similar apps aren't - and annoying that those other apps a

    This is a great keyboard! Very clever layout of the keys. I'm not typing as fast as Swype yet, but not a fair comparison since I've been using qwerty for years. please give us the option to customize the keyboard! 1. colour and shape of the keys 2. font

    I've been looking for a good fast alternative to the standard cramped querty keyboard in portrait mode. I'd been relatively happy with the T9 style keyboards but this is definitely an improvement. It may take a little time to get used to it - a couple of

    This idea is great, the only thing it needs is options to change the colors. Really bad color scheme. I'll even help you make the change of keys if you want

    Good but takes time to learn the new key set up.

    I'm really liking it. My only complaint is that it has trouble with common contractions, which I seem to have no choice but to enter manually, one character at a time. For example, I "can't" and "l'll". Also, there's no way to exit the keyboard.
