Well, after the free trial I have decided to go back to braille screen input for now. I would suggest a different gesture for dismissing the keyboard, as well as a half screen keyboard for text fields in applications. I can see how that would be difficult but I sadly find Flicktype less useful at this point than it could be, at least for me.
Keep up the great work and I will keep an eye on this app and give it a try in the future.

Super appreciate the feedback! We just introduced our half screen keyboard into alpha today, so this functionality will be out soon. As for the dismissal of the keyboard, we also have an option to press a button, which can be enabled in the settings. We believe the need to dismiss will be greatly diminished, if not phased out completely, after we release the half screen as well as the new action keys we're working on.

I really like this app. However there are some glaring issues for me at the moment. First off its really annoying how it takes up the entire screen. Also since I use the inverted colors option on my phone I like to have a black background with white font to reduce glare, but with this option turned on, the app appears as white creating a lot of glare. Ideally there should be an option to set or change the keyboard color
