Hi David, I sent an email to Rob from the Today in iOS podcast about Fleksy and included the link to their blog post Richard initially posted. Rob read out my email and said he had downloaded the app, but he didn't have a chance to try it yet.
I think the fact that one sighted friend didn't like it hardly means that ten thousand other sighted people won't love it. I'll post something if Rob mentions it again or if he gets any feedback from his listeners which he shares on the Podcast. I think for a sighted person Fleksy could still be useful, you could really tap away without necessarily having to pay attention that you hit each character exactly and it would be that much more accurate. Everything of course has some sort of learning curve and getting used to period associated with it.

He found the special gestures to be extremely annoying and went back to the standard onscreen keyboard.
