People loved the simplicity and smoothness of such screens, add to the fact that they were able to watch video, read documents or surf internet in a better manner, touchscreen devices became immensely successful. But, one thing which people always complain about typing experience in Android devices. Most of the times either typing on a touchscreen would be very slow or else there would be tons of typing mistakes.

Developers of Swypeapp saw this problem and sensed an opportunity to launch an app with different way of typing altogether- 'swipe to type'. The only problem? The company never actually launched this app on Google Play Store, they partnered with various hardware manufacturers like Samsung to provide the Swype as default keyboard in their mobiles. Though users interested for using Swype could go to beta.swype.com and download its apk file to install it on their Android device. But, it was a lengthy and complicated process for most of the users. But now, they have launched Swype on Play store for 0.99$ full version and a trial version for 30 days.
