Typewise Offline Keyboard

I love the fact that this keyboard is private. I also love the ‘dialect’ feature! However, text prediction in English are rather slow and often completely out of context. So, for English I often find myself using a different keyboard. Maybe this ‘not so smart text prediction’ is the price for privacy. If so, I am willing to pay it. If not, please, dear developers, improve the text prediction features!

I used to have blackberry keyone, so when I switched to the iPhone it was very difficult for me to type fast. I tried out the free version of this app and found I typed a little faster than the regular keyboard. I got the paid offline version. Lately though when I tried switching back, I've realized that I am actually faster on the original iPhone keyboard. Still not as fast or as accurate as on my blackberry (gosh how I miss physical keyboard), but definitely a whole lot faster than when I use Typewise. The one feature I wish I could keep on the iPhone keyboard is sliding to delete. Every keyboard should have that feature. Other than that, there isn't a reason for me to use the Typewise keyboard.

I love the larger key layout on this, but im havng trouble with the auto-correct function in that it seems to be not behaving as I would expect it to. For example, if i want to say that im ready to do something, the i's don't get capitalized and i don't always get the apostrophies to insert where they should, so i am having to go back to manually correct the multiple mistakes i make by not swiping up or holding the long press as I need to do. I have the auto-correct turned on in the settings, but it doesn't seem to do what I expect it to do. Im on an iphone 7, did I miss something or what? BTW, I love the privacy that is promised, but Im used to seeing the auto-correct options above the keyboard and being able to tap the correction from there. So, what am i missing?
