Fleksy Drops Price Forever, Breaks Its Own GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® record title

On iPhone 6 Plus


Fleksy, the world’s fastest keyboard, reduces price by 50% forever as they help break a second GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record title for texting speed.

San Francisco, CA, November 18 2014 - Fleksy, the keyboard previously used to break the Guinness World Record for “fastest time to type a text message on a touchscreen device”, has done it again. After its iOS app released in September, Fleksy made the iPhone 6 Plus the fastest phone for typing by clocking-in a new typing speed record on the device. Marcel Fernandes Filho, 17, used Fleksy’s iOS keyboard to break his previous record of 18.19 seconds with a new time of 17.00 seconds.

“We’re very proud of Fleksy’s involvement in helping Marcel achieve this impressive feat,” said Ioannis Verdelis, Fleksy co-founder and COO. “The speed and accuracy Fleksy provides have yet again proven world-class.” Fleksy has made typing faster for millions of users of touchscreen devices through the world’s most advanced autocorrect, and powerful gesture control for typing actions. In an effort to bring its keyboard to an even wider audience, Fleksy today announced a permanent price drop of its full version to $1.99 on Android.

“There is massive demand for a premium keyboard like Fleksy which combines speed, beautiful design, and customization options,” said Kosta Eleftheriou, Founder & CEO of Fleksy. “We want to improve the typing experience for everyone, and we hope this price drop encourages even more users to take advantage of Fleksy’s offering.”
