Looks like they might not be updating the Legacy Tablet app anymore. If you're using that just install the new free standard SwiftKey app. It functions exactly the same and will still give you the free premiere pack.

Yeah I believe it was stated almost a year ago that Tablet version was depreciated and that the SwiftKey app was now universal. Probably uses build.prop to determine if the device is a tablet or phone.

If you bought the tablet version before the merge of the phone and tablet versions you were still able to use the tablet version to get updates of the merged version. It was the same as the newer merged version but just under the title of SwiftKey Tablet. This is how I've been using SwiftKey on my Nexus 5 and 7 because I bought it for my Nexus 7 before I had an Android phone.
What I'm saying is, unless they're taking longer to push out the Legacy Tablet update, it seems they may have stopped updating it because the standard version is free now.

Ah my apologies. I'm in the same exact situation as you just described even up to the same devices. I was under the impression they stopped updating the tablet version as soon as it was called Legacy.

No problem my dude! I just wanted to make sure others got the info. SwiftKey did stop pushing out auto-updates for a little bit but eventually started doing it as the (Legacy) version. I loved the keyboard but there was no way was I going to buy it twice so I kept checking on what they were doing for people who bought the tablet version.
Same BS as Tapatalk.
You pay for the phone app, then you pay for the tablet app and then they put them together again to rip you up in another way.
Tapatalk, Swiftkey, Swype and all the game developers that sell apps, then make them freemium and stop developing the paid versions...suck my ass!

Not quite the same. Tapatalk is a scam. The guy makes a paid version, you buy it, then he releases a NEW paid version and releases an update to cripple the old one.
This just went free with the themes being the paid option, which they gave for free to people who purchased prior, bringing everyone to equal footing with no loss of function.
I mean I paid too for SwiftKey and Tapatalk PRO. But I learned to deal with this freemium structure. In the long run, it's XDA. Don't want we all want what's the best for the community? The Play Store isn't XDA for people who read this post too literally, but rather the news in the Android community is great for every one on XDA.

That's true. I did buy Tapatalk twice, and the newer one was on sale for 99 cents. But Tapatalk VIP members get unlimited non-watermarked image uploads. Being premium for both apps has its advantages so I guess I'm not mad at all.
I mean after all, the more popular an app is, the less money it makes over time because everyone already has it. I can understand that situation from a developer standpoint, and some developers truly deserve their income.

The swiftkey part is not true. I paid the for that app.
The xyz theme earlier is available with free version of swiftkey as well.
Users who paid for swiftkey receives additional 10 themes (and they can use the XYZ theme as well). I really like the theme pack they provided.

For those who have the trial version of swiftkey or have always wanted to try it, it is on sale half off the next week. Version 3 just came out of beta and both the tablet and phone versions are 1.99. It has awesome text predictability and is one of the best keyboards. For those that have purchased swiftkey before, the update to 3.0 is free.

Thanks for the heads up!

Make a free version and a paid 'pro' version?
Make a single free app with in-app purchase that will upgrade it to a pro version.
I think the second way is more convenient because you don't need to handle two apps but I see the first case a lot more often on market.

I was asking myself that same question for months. I decided to go with your first option. I know most people are going to say that micro-transaction is the way to go now but I feel like its cheating the buyers out there.I recently bought a game for $3 and it also had micro-transaction as well. I paid for the game, dont want to keep on paying for perks that should be free.
I guess it just depends on the developer. What type of game are you looking into developing?

In all honesty, I see PAID apps on their way out by 2014. Everyone always goes for the lowest common denominator. So, the objective from a marketing standpoint would be to release only free apps and have them all have in-app purchases. Everyone will download something for free, and then without having to go back and download something else, they'll just tick the in app purchase box.
But, the pro apps that offer a lot will do just fine as paid.
IAP(In App purchases) have been the trend for a while now. I get your point about customers who rather download a free app over a paid app. In the long run customers will be spending more money on those free apps because of the IAP! I know someone who downloaded a free game and paid $40.00 for an IAP that gave him all the weapons and items.
I feel like if you have a good product, it will sell.

Also pro for 2 apps is they will give you 2x exposure on the play.
But if paid version only removes ads, will customers buy it?
You would need to add more features in the paid app to attract the customers to buying the game.

Like some time your app price on $4.99(this is too high).You put a price for everyone on like only 5 day(time you get).Put the price on $0.99 or Free.(This is one of the marketing strategies)

You can have ads in the free version, and have an option of telling the user if they want to get rid of ads buy pro version now. Either way sounds good.

Yeah, free version with ads and option to upgrade to a pro + separate pro version. Pro version will have no ads and more functionality. Would be this fine or confusing for users?

Limited availability isn't even a valid complaint of the product. its a criticism of where you bought the device from. They were readily available at Walmart, Office Max, Best Buy, and Staples for me. I went with Walmart to get my standard 10% discount, but I could and still can go anywhere and see at least 5-10 ready to be bought.

You are remembering correct. Very simple, just drag an icon and release on top of existing icon. Boom automatic folder created. Can put the folders in the app bar also.

The speakers are strategically placed to give stereo spread and still keep the device this with a thin bezel.
I don't understand how the last model had a single crappy speaker, this one has stereo and it is a disadvantage because of placement?

Well, this week or next the "Nexus 6" will be announced/put out on sale. That's my second option.
My first option will always be Project Ara. The problem is that it is expected in Q1 2015 but we really don't know what to expect and/or even if the release will be on time. So that's kind of betting my cards....
I hate touchscreen phones with a passion. People are ****ing morons for letting the industry go this way and we should have always forced no touchscreen, semitouchscreen (like the Desire Z) or full touchscreen. That plus knowing that the battery is nonremoveable....
I know I will hate typing on a "Nexus 6" but its something I guess to deal with.
What would you guys go for?
I wouldn't bet on a fully equipped fully functional Ara phone suitable as daily driver by Q1 next year. Especially not with hardware keys or something like that.
If I had the $$$, I'd totally get a new phone this year and sell it when I think it's time for Ara. After all, Ara is supposed to be cheap.
