I would only consider it if Android offered the same level of accessibility. Unfortunately the keyboard is not the entire scope of that accessibility. Please, please do not cease development on IOS for fleksy. I really like and appreciate fleksy a lot. It's availability on another platform can not in itself cause me to also migrate because accessibility has a much larger scope than just the keyboard. That would be like migrating to another platform because the voice sounded really good to my ears. That would have no impact on what it could read and access and how well that accessibility worked.
