The Best Third-Party Keyboards for Android

The stock keyboard that comes loaded on your Android device is decent, at best. Rarely is there any word prediction, and a lot of the time it feels clunky to type with — the stock keyboard that is loaded on the majority of Galaxy branded devices is a great example of this. That said, I'm going to show you some great third-party keyboards that will blow those silly stock keyboards out of the water!

Some of these keyboards are great, but when it comes down to it, you have to pick a keyboard that works best for you. You may not even use a third-party keyboard, as you could be satisfied with the stock keyboard OEMs provide.

#2 SwiftKey Keyboard (free for 1 month / US$ 4.29)
#3 Smart Keyboard PRO (US$ 2.49)
