I'm notonewho is concerned about the time it may take to use the app. I just carry my AmazonBasics KT-1081 keyboard with me, which takes less than 5 seconds to turn on and begin typing. This way I am typing at normal speed. I may decide to go with Fleksy when and if this keyboard dies. It seems like Fleksy will be a great tool for tons of folks. Richard
