Windows Phone a disappointment and Windows 10 Mobile going nowhere fast, Microsoft’s brand-new mission to dominate the iPhone with its own apps remains.Microsoft’s newest app is a keyboard spare called Word Flow. The free keyboard, currently only available in English in the U.S., is designed to make it easier to text with a single hand.
Word Flow can be used like a old QWERTY keyboard. Alternatively, you can text by swiping between letters to string composed words and sentences quickly, a feature Swype pioneered.But the standout feature for the keyboard is its “arc” mode; once activated, the keyboard crumples up into an arc (for lefties and righties), which makes it easier to type with one hand, especially on larger iPhones.

Like any good phone keyboard, Word Flow comes with a analytical algorithm to forestall your next word for faster texting. You can also customize the app’s background.I installed Word Flow to see if it could really speed up my texting skills. With arc mode turned on, it’s absolutely easier to bang out some words with one hand on my iPhone 6. Normally, I have to use two hands to reach a garbed typing speed. If you’ve never used Swype, there will be a little bit of a learning curve to alter to the typing pattern.
The analytical AI is good, but I wouldn’t say it’s great. It didn’t seem any cleverer than the iPhone’s default autocorrect.
Microsoft before released a keyboard for iPhone called the Hub Keyboard, which brings in context from different services. It, unfortunately, was not a very good keyboard. It currently has a two-star rating on the App Store with many reviews bad-tempered about it being slow, buggy and not ready for major time.
