If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on the Swype keyboard for iOS, but you’ve been turned off by the $0.99 price tag, now the time to grab it. Apple has named the third-party keyboard its iOS App of the Week. (Which means it’s free!)
The Swype gesture based keyboard allows users to drag their finger from key-to-key, (“Swyping” you might call it – Ed.), to quickly enter words on their iOS device. The keyboard also includes a predictive text engine and predictive punctuation to cut down on “Swypes.” (OK, that’s the last time I’ll do that, promise. – Ed.)
