My concern with that is if it can't be turned off somewhere in the app's settings, anyone who decides to send an email of a professional nature using it will make themselves look very bad. It doesn't look professional from an employer perspective, or in the least bit cute; never mind nobody's going to know what in hell a Fleksy is. I won't get started on professional looking email addresses because that wasn't the point of this topic, but I'll just say that this goes hand in hand with that... I do think it showing your phone number could very well have to do with the setting that speaks to communicating with other fleksy users. I believe, but am not sure, that if you disable that option in settings, it might not show your phone number... I don't know if it also disables its ill attempt at marketing/self promotion as well. But that was my first thought... A huge turn off unless that can be disabled. The technology is neat, and Apple will steel it some day and implement such an auto correct system, and when it does, it will be fabulous! IMO there needs to be such an auto correct with the iPhone, without the added annoyance of having to be dependent on another app to get it; especially not one with such a price tag. I do recognize however that with the development that went into the app, that such a price point from a business perspective would have been more than necessary in order to make some profit off what would have been a very hefty development cost.

I'm just wanting to check if I'm right before I make a fuss of this, but, if it is the case, I'm not especially impressed with this policy, its not a free product, its charged and a relatively high charge at that. Not to say its not worth it, I happen to think its amazing and to coin Apple, revolutionary, but, this sort of marketing tactic is usually reserved for free or lite apps, not charged full ones. I also do not like the way it inserts my e-mail address or phone number if I have added these to settings.
