Krista, Precisely! It is that learning curve but we are enquiring about. I have the latest version of fLeksy on my phone, but I keep taking it out of my keyboard list because I find it unworkable. I haven't managed to write a single word with it yet! I seem to keep seeing a keypad. sometimes, and I don't know how, the keyboard appears, and I input the word using the old pattern method, and then swipe right. but I don't hear a suggested word. I can only repeat, in the past, I was something of a power user of the early versions of fleksy and fleksy vo. all the new bills and whistles seem to exclude me nowadays. so, from those of you who are doing so well, could you give us some tips, very basic ones, such as how to get it going at all!
