This maturity begets a robust and polished experience rarely seen among apps in the Play store. With SwiftKey, you get intelligent autocorrect that better learns the more you type, beautiful themes, and Flow, a feature that makes typing a fluid experience using gestures and swipes.

CM Keyboard is their fantastic addition to the keyboard category, and they have set the standard for what a keyboard should be capable of. CM Keyboard provides a smooth typing experience, easy access to every emoji symbol and tons of ASCII art, and plenty of other features.

Fleksy
Fleksy is a keyboard that focuses not so much on addition of features, but on careful refinement of the typing experience. With Fleksy, the name of the game is the speed and ease of typing, utilizing highly advanced auto correction algorithms so that you can type as fast and as sloppily as you want and Fleksy will, more likely than not, fully understand what you intended to type. Speed is also the reason behind their intuitive gestures for the most common keyboard actions to be lightning quick.

TouchPal
TouchPal is the most feature-packed addition to this lineup. Built on top of a remarkably good typing experience, TouchPal adds awesome features like Emoji, emoticons, and ASCII art, downloadable and customizable themes, a dedicated editing keyboard layout, trend tracking, and more. One of the most useful features, however, is the ability to resize the keyboard on the fly, so that you can have the most comfortable typing experience, or so that you can get the keyboard out of the way of what you want to see.
