HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (182 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Welp... $2.99 down the drain. I keep trying to open the complication on my Apple Watch and it just won't even open at ALL. Maybe it's because I'm on the original Apple Watch and there's some fine print I didn't read,…

  • every time you want to reply to a message you have to switch out of the imessage app and go into the flick type app, which gets very annoying and takes as much time as sribble typing does (if not longer) i want a refund 1★, Feb 5, 2025

SCAM!!! DUMBEST APP EVER

Why is it EVERY SINGLE WATCH KEYBOARD on the App Store is FREE to download, but you have to PAY to actually use. Unacceptable. Flicktype, watchkey, all of them. They do this to jack up their Downloads counter to appear more trustworthy. It’s not our fault that Apple implemented the DUMBEST typing methods on the Apple Watch. A Keyboard should be built-in in software. Someone should make a free solution. Apple, implement it or find a solution to these watch SCAMMERS!

★★★★★Aug 17, 2026
Eh

So, really good idea at first. I got this on my watch and was insanely happy that I didn't have to speak to talk, or write out everything that I wanted to say. But when it was finally downloaded, I realized that it's a huge hassle. Man, you had to go into iMessage to read the text, the go out and go into FlickType, then you had to swipe to text which is a good idea in theory, but it just gets it wrong 60 percent of the time. Then when you finally had what you wanted to say you have to click send, then scroll through ALL your contacts to finally find the guy who was texting you and by the time you hit send hes already doing smth else. I would buy this if I were you.
