SwiftKey Keyboard v5 rolls-out; goes free and includes new theme store

There is a good reason for SwiftKey's massive success over the last few years. They've done what many set out (and failed) to do, but did it right: made on screen typing easy and user-friendly. I've long attested to this app, and strongly believe that every Android user should use it actively, or at least own it.
Well, today things got better.
Along with marking down the normally $2.99 app to $0 (for a limited time), SwiftKey took users' suggestion to heart and sent out a heart-warming announcement:
".....we're happy to bring you dozens of new free and premium themes, which can be accessed in the brand new SwiftKey Store. This is a great way for us to invest in quality design and let everyone get the most choice with their SwiftKey experience. In today's update there are now 48 themes in SwiftKey Keyboard, and more are coming soon."
SwiftKey Keyboard v5 also includes a bevvy of new features:
- Support for over 800 emoji, plus a new emoji prediction feature
- Optional number row
- Enhanced Flow accuracy
- Improved prediction engine
- More languages
- ...and much more
Now is the best time to hop aboard the SwiftKey train and find out what all the hoopla is about. Futher, the founders of SwiftKey are hosting a Reddit AMA to discuss the new SwiftKey Keyboard (and anything else you might want to bring up) in the near future.
