Oh boy. This one's a doozy everybody. We just launched by far the biggest update to Fleksy we've EVER released, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you!
After 3 million downloads in just over a year, we felt like we needed to do something huge to celebrate. So, we're revolutionizing how you input on your mobile devices with Fleksy by launching Extensions.
Extensions are customizable functionality enhancements for the keyboard, which turn Fleksy into a platform with multiple fun and useful input options.
We'll be the first Android keyboard with GIF support, making finding and sending GIFs as easy as emoji. We'll also be the first keyboard to function as an Android launcher. See the bottom of this post for the full list of Extensions available at launch. These extensions are just the beginning, we have a lot more on the way in the future...
Extensions are activated in the Fleksy app by assigning them to “Slots”. Initially, all users will receive 3 slots FREE, which can be used to set their initial Extensions. Extensions may be activated and deactivated at will, with additional slots available for purchase in the Store.
We're also bringing a big redesign to the Fleksy app, to accommodate the new customization options. On top of that, we're really beefing up the number of themes available, including adding branded themes from Frozen and The Hunger Games! Our Android app is also getting a really cool Chameleon theme, which changes colors based on the app you're in.
We have big things planned for next year. For now, we hope you all have a wonderful holiday, and enjoy your new Extensions!
