Looking for a new keyboard to spice up your typing style? Now is probably a good time to try “the world’s fastest keyboard.”
Just announced is Fleksy 3.0 – a new look, theme store, and new customizations to the popular keyboard. The theme store is put in place for premium users to enjoy new themes such as “Deep Blue” and “Liquid Sky.” Other customizations will be available to users that have already subscribed to the premium price tag.
One interesting point to make is the decision for staying with the company’s premium business model, rather than switching to a “free with paid themes” model like the popular Swiftkey Keyboard. Many people are still buying the premium version, with downloads reaching more than 30% growth every month since December.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Also available with the update is support for 17 new languages. The company previously announced that the languages were available in beta, but now they’re here for everyone to enjoy.

Fleksy 3.0 launches on Android, introduces major redesign and premium features.
Doubling down on premium business model
SAN FRANCISCO — July 23, 2014 — Fleksy, the fastest keyboard in the world, has launched version 3.0 today, featuring an update on the keyboard’s award-winning design and the introduction of premium themes and content.
Introduced with today’s update, Fleksy Store will offer the ability to download premium content such as themes and customizations. Six new premium themes are available, including “Deep Blue” and “Liquid Sky”, and all Fleksy premium users can choose a free bonus theme. The update also introduces an evolution of the iconic, minimal look of Fleksy, using brand new colors and animations.
“The average Fleksy user uses our product 180 times a day, and spends 1.5 hours looking at the keyboard each and every day. We believe this exposure gives us a fantastic platform to offer premium content and customizations for the keyboard” said Ioannis Verdelis, Founder and COO of Fleksy. “By introducing Fleksy Store, we have an unbounded opportunity to expand with premium product features, while maintaining the clean and simple Fleksy experience which appeals to first time users”.
Fleksy confirmed it will double down on its premium business model, with Fleksy Store only available to premium customers on Android as well as iOS this coming fall.
“Fleksy has built its recognition as the best keyboard title in Google Play – we are now the fastest, most accurate, and best designed keyboard out there. Even in the presence of free alternatives, people are willing to pay a premium when it comes to world-class design and next-gen features for their keyboard, and for good reason, given just how much time you spend on it every day. Downloads have been growing 30% monthly since launching last December, and our conversions to paid users have been increasing dramatically as well. It’s great testament to the quality of our product and shows that the keyboard is a huge part of the overall phone experience, for both Android and iOS” said Kosta Eleftheriou, Founder and CEO of Fleksy.
Also included are 17 new languages, which were only available in beta until today, bringing blazing-fast typing to a whole new group of users all over the world. The extensive list of new languages includes Hebrew, Croatian, Lithuanian, Albanian, Norwegian, Tagalog, Catalan and much more. Based on billions of words typed so far, Fleksy has also significantly improved accuracy for all 40 supported languages so far.
Fleksy is available on Google Play and at http://android.fleksy.com/
