Same here, I prefer portrait mode for my typing and phone use in general.
The app appears to have a bug whereby turning force landscape mode on
doesn't always work.

Hi Rick,
I tried out landscape but, by unlocking orientation, and found that I'm
just to use to portrait mode. the last couple years of having my
orientation locked has just made landscape foreign to me. I use the classic
thumb typing style. I hold my phone like one holds a video game controller
or, a hand held video game. I've been typing like this since the mobile
speak days on my old HTC Mogul. haha.

for
letters in the middle and my ring finger for letters on the right portion
of
the keyboard. So far, this is my fastest method in my case. I know this
is
very subjective but I find it really interesting to see how others do
their
typing.
Best,
Rick

Hmm! OK. I'm going to do that later but wouldn't want to do that every
day, though I think I may prefer landscape.

Hi Carol,
I have gotten inconsistent results but had to do the following in
order to make the app force-switch:
1. Turn on "Force Landscape mode" in settings/fleksy.
2. Go into the Task Switcher and turn off orientation lock.
3. Switch back to fleksy and rotate the phone. The developers say that
at this point you may again lock the phone but the switch to landscape
and back will still work within the app itself.
My results were that this did work until some hours later, when I
noticed that orientation did not change from portrait to landscape
mode. What I don't remember is if I had removed the app from the
Switcher in the meantime.

Hi,
I'm asking the above question because I haven't yet been successful in
forcing a landscape start, evfen though I've tried taking Fleksy out
of the app switcher and rebooting the phone. I have found that on one
occasion anyway the symbols keyboard appeared and so I just had to go
through my routine of removing Fleksy and changing the setting then
booting and starting again. Before I report this as a bug I wondered
if anyone else had tried?
