    Great find, saw it on the Ozbargain app I just purchased. Thanks!

  • [Deactivated] on 30/08/2013 - 18:03

    Grabbed it in case my Swype gets upgraded to something useless one day.

  • scrimshaw on 30/08/2013 - 18:03

    Damn. Didn't realize I had this already, and some months ago I decided to splash out the full $4 for the Play version.

  • theguyrules on 30/08/2013 - 18:16

    Awesome deal. Go get it for everyone with an Android phone.

    The tablet version is also free today.

      Voting negative because the Tablet version is not free, the version you point out is a lite or Free version, the Pro Tablet version cost $3.99 http://www.amazon.com/TouchType-Ltd-SwiftKey-Tablet/dp/B005D…

    I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't know what Swiftkey is or does.

    I shall have a look.

  • 777 on 30/08/2013 - 18:34

    Not exactly in the app store home Page
    You have to search for it
    Or else buy from Amazon website and search on app purchase list

    I stopped using this after it started autocorrecting password fields (that it didn't recognise as password fields) and nearly got locked out

    Amazing app, but I really CBF installing Amazon app store to get it

    • deal88 on 30/08/2013 - 22:46

      The Amazon App now works in Australia and no longer needs the old lengthy work around. (Not sure if that is your issue) Now simple to install and use.

      • Hintswen on 31/08/2013 - 00:48

        wow, thanks for the update. Now I can actually tell people to get the amazon app store and not have to deal with them not knowing how to get an account.

  • oddjob on 30/08/2013 - 18:59

    It's on the main page of the Amazon App store app (Free app of the day greatest hits). Right next to the Free app of the day.
    There is:
    Angry Birds (Ad-Free)
    CalenGoo
    Drawing Pad
    Jamie's 20 Minute Meals
    Paper Camera
    Shazam Encore
    Sprinkle
    SwiftKey
    World of Goo

      jbray ,

      Can you please show me how to get from
      http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
      (this is what I see on my computer in Australia)

      to

      the amazon.com page linked from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/114965
      , where it shows 10 apps free ?

      I just cannot find what you said:
      "It's on the main page of the Amazon App store app (Free app of the day greatest hits)"

      I don't see the wording "Free app of the day greatest hits" any where on "Amazon Appstore for Android" main page..

      Please enlighten.

      Thanks a million.

      • oddjob on 30/08/2013 - 21:55

        I was referring to the "app" that you install on Android. When you open that app, it has at the top left one icon for the free app of the day (as it does every day), and then next icon along it has the greatest hits icon, when lists all those apps. See the other post which has a link to installing the app. Sorry, I don't know how to find these via a web browser.

  • ifixa on 30/08/2013 - 19:25

    Will go nicely with the Nexus 4 that everyone seems to have bought :D

  • Chopel on 30/08/2013 - 20:08

    Can I get the app without sign in or install the amazon apps?

    • MiniMoo on 30/08/2013 - 20:20

      Nope. You must have an Amazon account and their Appstore app installed on your device.

      Bluestacks. Nuff said.

    Always need Amazon app store running in background which is a pain with all Amazon free apps

  • Matt88 on 30/08/2013 - 21:36

    Glad that I didn't pay for this app. Tried it on my phone and it was OK then on android tablet and found that it doesn't give you the option for a split keyboard (it does for the phone).

    Back to Swype for me.

    • MiniMoo on 30/08/2013 - 23:07

      I believe that for tablets, to get the split keyboard layout you need to get SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard (i.e. the tablet version of the app).

  • francis.tks on 30/08/2013 - 21:39

    Aaaah, can't believe I paid full price for it. But have been loving it since. It might be a bit laggy when used on my S3 when compared to stock but stock keyboard have no auto correct. Also, for everyone else just check out google stock keyboard as well.

    PS: use only one language for auto correct or the program gets really slow.

  • Rusty McMusty on 30/08/2013 - 22:27

    Great deal, thanks OP.

  • POWERevolution on 30/08/2013 - 22:40

    Got this pop up on my phone " The Amazon Appstore is not supported in your region."
    How do you get this app?

  • sachz on 30/08/2013 - 22:55

    excellent deal. thanks for pointing out!

    just as good is knowing the amazon app is also working for AU customers without the BS workaround :)

    double-bonus today!

  • tightartist on 30/08/2013 - 22:58

    Best Android Keyboard for my use.

  • cowiie on 31/08/2013 - 08:20

    I've seen this on ozbargain a few times now and didn't know what the hype was. My Android keyboard lags all the time that I constantly find myself throwing the phone in anger. Just downloaded this and the keyboard no longer lags . thanks OP, +1 million

    If it helps anyone… I downloaded the Amazon app store on my Android phone but couldn't download anything. If this happens to you just buy the app on a computer then go to settings (in the Amazon app store) then click 'my apps' then cloud then refresh and you can just click download from there.

  • skoondi on 31/08/2013 - 09:35

    This finally made me install the Amazon app store, now I'm even more tempted to get a Nexus 4, the 380Mb of storage on the old Xperia Play is just a little limited.

  • FabMan on 31/08/2013 - 10:45

    My problem with this app is its prevention of me using curse words… Swype allows me to swear freely, so I use that.

    • pitoui on 31/08/2013 - 12:18
      +2

      It will remember what words you frequently use and adds them in.

      • FabMan on 31/08/2013 - 17:58

        It doesn't for me, maybe I've done something wrong. I've added words, then when I type it automatically changes it to a non offensive word, I have to select the curse word.

        Google have implemented an option, where it automatically blocks offensive words, but it is unchecked. On SwiftKey for me the offensive words are switched but under Swype they are not. It is a known bug/problem.

        Sorry to those I offend by sharing my findings, I'm not alone:

  • pitoui on 31/08/2013 - 12:17

    Get it now! Well worth the $4 i paid for it over a year ago.

  • Astro551 on 31/08/2013 - 12:34

    although I still prefer Google Stock 4.2 kb for a few things - e.g. after pressing space on the numbers/symbols keyboard it defaults back to letters, and also when you you're typing and autocorrect does a bad prediction you can press backspace to make it go back to your original text (just the little things).. unless you can do this on SwiftKey too, but couldn't find anything in the settings

  • gm3stevens on 31/08/2013 - 13:23

    The Swiftkey I just downloaded from Amazon is Swiftkey 3 (Version 3.0.0.281) instead of version 4.2.0.155 as on the Amazon website.

    But free is free. Can't complain. Thanks OP.

  • keeplooking on 31/08/2013 - 14:34

    wont let me download it ?

  • vamo on 31/08/2013 - 18:03

    can anyone let me know why is my phone not downloading the Amazon App Store?
    I have one of the Huawei phones bought from Coles

    • scrimshaw on 31/08/2013 - 19:23

      Download the APK to your computer (you can use this link). Transfer to your mobile phone and then use a file manager to open the APK file to start installation.
      Enable "non-market sources" in the settings when prompted.

  • Briggles0 on 31/08/2013 - 18:57

    can you link this to your play store account? Or do you always have to install amazon store to use it?

    • scrimshaw on 31/08/2013 - 19:25

      It links to your Amazon account. As you would expect, Amazon must be installed on your phone in order for Swiftkey to run.

      • Briggles0 on 01/09/2013 - 01:02

        ok then thx :) i think ill just wait for play store deal.

  • KevCol on 31/08/2013 - 20:45

    I clicked on that Swift key link and it seems to have charged me $3.99 in my Amazon account.
    It listed it as a Pending digital order without the facility to cancel it.
    I don't want it?

    • scrimshaw on 31/08/2013 - 20:51

      You need to contact Amazon customer support. They don't have a refund facility, unlike Google Play.
