I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and I absolutely hate the keyboard on it. I have even messed with the settings to see if I can get it how I want but it has done nothing but aggravate me!
I have had Galaxy phones since the 4 model and have never had any issues so I'm not sure what the deal is with this one.
I would love a keyboard app recommendation if anyone has one.
Thanks!

I have the Galaxy 4 and use the swype keyboard. My left thumb is messed up, so the swiping works better for me. I don't know if this is on the 8 or not.

I use SwiftKey. You can type or swipe.

After the last update (or maybe the one before that), the keyboard on my S7 was terrible. So frustrating. I switched to SwiftKey and it's much better. I tried a few, but SwiftKey was the best without a lot of extra crap.

I have used Swype ever since I had the S3, but recent updates have McCafe the autocorrect feature incredibly annoying.
I left that one in you three so you can see what I mean..I've never typed McCafe neighbor.
I sound more time circling mistakes than young.

Thanks everyone!

I have used swype for years but if doesn't work as well anymore...throws weird words in and doesn't seem to learn my word preferences like it used to. Just downloaded SwiftKey and I already love it! I'm glad I opened up this topic.

I have the 8+ also. How is your's bad? What do you hate about it? I ask because I have never had so many issues with typing than with this one. I had a S3 until the battery started acting up. So I switched to Samsung Prime Express(a go phone). Had a cute color keyboard app that worked fine.
I prefer Swyping but even that is messed up with this phone. It is almost as if the edge causes issues.
I guess I need to check out SwiftKey.

Thanks I downloaded SwiftKey too. I have been annoyed with the Samsung one too. For the past few months almost everything I typed was wrong. It was like my keyboard shifted and I kept hitting the wrong letters. This one is much better. My only hang up is that the ! is in a very different place.

I have the s8 (previously had the s4) And I HATE the autocorrect and whatever it is thinking when I'm swyping. It's driving me nuts. I thought maybe it just needed to collect enough data to understand me but it's been 2 months and I'm over it.
So I'm just commiserating, no advice, but I will be keeping my eye on the responses (sounds like swiftkey is a winner).

Just downloaded swiftkey. I am always making mistakes on my S8. Have you noticed that predictive text is missing when using the Google search bar?

I have an S5 and I use the normal keyboard, no Swype, no spell check.
