Has Gboard gotten worse for y’all? For past year or so it’s gotten progressively worse for me. Has it been your experience too?

    Yup, way more typos. Used to be able to swipe with very little error, now having to correct several times along the way. I don’t type on my phone often enough to be that annoyed yet, but maybe I should look into other keyboards too …

      If you’re a native English speaker or from Europe I can suggest FUTO keyboard. It’s just not fit for my use case.

        I’ve beenntrying O t FUTO for the last week and have not been very impressed with it over Heliboard. The autocorrect predixtion is either way too aggressive for some words, or just doesn’t bother for other words. I mean I could say the same thing for Heliboard, but that tends towork just a little bit better for me. Btw I didn’t manually correct any typos in this reply, that’s all on FUTO.

    Yup. Steady decline in accuracy when swiping, words/names I use everyday (and have added to a custom dictionary) aren’t chosen from the swipe, and even on actual touchtype it corrects to words I never/rarely use.

    All keyboards have been getting worse (both on Apple and Android). It’s impossible to type anything without typos anymore.

      It’s gotten to the point I can see those typos online everywhere, and I know for a fact those typos are due to autocorrect getting bad, cause it’s similar to what I made while I used Gboard

    Yes. Just switched to the Samsung built-in keyboard for now.

    It was very good on predicting the word and the next word, then it it started to act like it’s guessing randomly.

    Notice an increase on battery drain too.

    I’ve used it from way back when and it gets progressively worse each year. This app used to save my ass drunk typing and absolutely can’t now. Course it could be me getting worse so I don’t know.
