It's that simple!
Rooted my Kindle Fire, saw some other complicated options, but found this app to be quick and simple. Well worth the purchase price! Note: I did install SwiftKey before installing this app as recommended by another user.
App has never worked. Reinstalled and restarted multiple times. Have emailed developer several times over several weeks and no response. Would love to have it functional.
As long as you install the keyboard first, this lets you choose it! Perfect for getting rid of the awful Kindle keyboard. Well worth the price. First Gen, rooted.
It don't work. My device is rooted but the app is a fake, it only choose kindle keyboard.
I've been wanting a way to change the crappy KB of the Fire. This app is inexpensive and woeks great.
Its cheap, easy to use, and works well.
Doesn't do any thing that the Kindle won't do on its own. Best way to get swift key app on a rooted Kindle Fire HD and not have the right side of the screen cut off the keyboard in landscape mode by the navigation bar, is to install GD soft key his app.
Works great on my rooted KF. Thank You so much to the dev for this one!
I'd been messing around trying to get Swiftkey to work and I just spent $2 bucks and it worked instantly. This app worked exactly as advertised. I wish I would have found it sooner.
Writing with SwiftKey on Kindle fire
It works properly.
Works perfect
I saw a couple of ways online to hack my Kindle (6.3.1), to accomplish this same thing, but this app was fast and easy, and works like a charm.
Had SwiftKey on my Kindle Fire in less than a minute.
Finally got rid of kindle keyboard. It was terrible!
