No swipe type. No emoji search. No thank you.

Amazing, I think this is the natural path of the product.
Just one thing, after installed I really miss the force touch on the keyboard to move into the text, there's nothing to do for add this feature from the default keyboard right?
I like what you guys do, immensely. Well done. It will be absolutely fab when you finally crack English English and not the hocus ‘fanny bag’ pocus practiced on the other side of the Atlantic. What are your plans to adopt the Queen’s English vs some trumped up version? Also, Apple’s reminder that by giving you Full Access means key strokes of credit cards and passwords means you are capturing everything and it is understandably disconcerting. I have trust, but over time in Apple for their security protocols and robust expressions and seeming deeds of best intent to act on behalf of their customers. It would be good to hear explicitly about your security processes, to give us some peace of mind. Apologies if you’ve covered it elsewhere but Apple’s pop up warning did rightly stop and make me think.
@randlelondon In many respects, American English is more conserved and old-fashioned than British English -- the latter having changed more since they diverged.
Shakespeare's English was rhotic, pronouncing [ɹ] where the orthography says it should be pronounced -- like most of American English.
Yours, sir, is the new-fangled English.
And it's "fanny pack," not "fanny bag."
@randlelondon I'm happy to bring good news here. Grammarly supports British and American English via a setting that's available in the user profile area (more here: https://support.grammarly.com/hc... ). And because we respect English dialects equally, we are also working on Canadian, Australian, and some other dialects. The default setting is picked up from the locale set on the phone, but users can override it.
As for the security of password and credit card fields, Grammarly is not activated for these sensitive fields with a rare exception of apps that misidentify such fields. Apple is very cautious about privacy and security of its users, just as we are, and thus Apple warns users about such a possibility, even though mislabeling sensitive fields by apps is rare.
In any case, we take the security of user data very seriously and use stringent encryption, anonymization, and purging of any potentially personally-identifiable or sensitive data. You can read more about our data handling in the Data Storage and Transfer section of our Privacy Policy (https://www.grammarly.com/privac... ). I apologize for linking to a verbose document, but quoting parts without context may create more confusion than clarity.
Amazing! When are you guys going to offer APIs? We can't wait to make Grammarly extension on Everboard (http://everboard.io).
Love Grammarly. Been a big user on desktop. It is what spellcheck could be if it actually used user's data.
Just installed.
@jhyu Grammarly is fantastic at finding not only spelling, but use/tense and punctuation. Example, where I was using it last night on a Squarespace site (a rare script conflict kept the tool-tip “click” functionality from working), but it works really well. Perfect Gmail companion! http://yum.sqr.fr/rruNbAN
Very intrigued. I'm a "Premium" Grammarly user, and it would be nice to have some checks when serving and communicating with customers and prospects with various apps (e.g., help desk, CRM, etc.). You know, founders wear a lot of hats.
I'm a little worried about privacy and security. Occasionally, I need cut and paste passwords or other types of personally identifiable information (PII). When I activated the keyboard with iOS, I received a dire message that PII could be transmitted and collected. Not a comforting thought.
There is a three star review in the app store that says it keeps looping through two suggestions when typing "This is a many face". This is weird.
Grammarly is absolutely my favorite app and not so cool to see it inside the keyboard!
Beautiful addition. Any plans to add support for moving the cursor as you drag your finger on the spacebar? Also, quick access to emojis is a must. 😊
@chadwhitaker Glad you liked our keyboard! The primary goal for v.1.0 was to bring confidence in writing to mobile. Once it's done, we're going to work on additional features to increase productivity. Thanks for your feedback and stay tuned!
