Is this app still being updated?

Post by daybreaker01 »

Just curious, the changelog shows the last update as 8/11. Is anyone still working on this app?

Unfortunately, it's not looking too good. No idea why....
The dev, Cyril, hasn't logged on here since January 31st...

Maybe he will be back thursday....
It will be march 1st and he would have had a nice relaxing month off unplugged for awhile.

Abandoned apps are not cool :( Fede Carnales (developer of LauncherPro and UberMusic) is the worst example

Although I still doubt Cyril is gone for good.. his app is currently the #62 top paid app in ANY category. That's pretty impressive and not something to abandon. My guess is he has been working on getting it working properly with ICS and hopefully adding a few features here and there (theme-able key press popup?!).

Yea i hope he didn't abandon. I have tried other keyboards (again and again) but this is my best one. Swift key comes close but it needs more customization like skp. I would be cool if skp had some of the predictive qualities of swift key.
I've been sticking with go launcher because they continually update the thing. It has tons of themes and most importantly doesn't drain my battery or cause any performance issues.
I hope Cyril is working on something and comes back. Maybe it's just some super special French developer holiday :D

Hi all,
unfortunately it's not really holidays ;) I'm working very hard on other projects in parallel, which at the moment gives me less time to give support in this forum.
But don't worry, it doesn't mean the app is abandoned!

Tha app needs to be updated to ICS
It doesnt work well in ICS
I will have to switch to other keyboards and this is very annoying.
Really liked it. Was the best keyboard now its almost useless.

Like Cyril said '....it doesn't mean the app is abandoned'. From what I've read it's harder than it sounds to develop and app for a mobile device and I'm sure the same goes with updating the app to work with a totally overhauled UI. He'll be back just gotta have patience.
