what's going on guys a Marklin sang from TechnoBuffalo and today we're going to give you guys a quick look at touch Pal for iOS 8 it's still in its alpha build so not everything is working like it should be but we just wanted to show you how it looks and operates on iphone 5s running iOS 8 beta 5 as of now touch panel is relying on an invite-only system for its alpha beta builds but hopefully in the coming weeks we'll be able to show you guys a first official public build for touch pal when iOS 8 is publicly release first things first when you install the app there is really nothing there it just has an About section inside the apps so let's skip that and head on over to the Settings app you'll have to go to general scroll down a bit and hit keyboard and keyboards and add a new keyboard inside here there's going to be a new section for third-party keyboards and that's where you can finally add touch pal so once you enable touch pal go to whichever app you want to use with a new keyboard for example in the Notes app just hold down the little globe icon and enable touch pal and it'll take a few seconds to refresh your keyboard then there you have it with touch pal you have the ability to swipe to type and swipe to erase and touch POW also offers next word prediction like the stock iOS a keyboard which is kind of cool but doesn't work as well as Apple's quick type touch palette is very similar to what you'll find in majority of the keyboards available for Android and if you have been using iOS 8 for the past few months then this keyboard won't be all that different other than addition of swipe gesture typing there's obviously a few things that still needs to be fixed like keyboard sounds and weird bugs that will make the keyboard disappear and swiping the type is probably the major one here you won't be able to see what you type on your keyboard until after you either tap on the predictive words or continue swiping it's not like other swipe gestured keyboards found on Android wear it immediately shows you the word you just type but I'm sure this issue will be fixed in the next alpha or beta build one of the best parts of iOS 8 is that Apple's opening of software the third-party keyboards and this is just a small taste of what will be available in the coming months we'll be able to see keyboards from other third-party developers too such as swipe SwiftKey and flus key and we can't wait to try them out and show you guys and that's pretty much it if you guys have any questions just let us know in the comments down below and as always a märklin sang it from TechnoBuffalo i'll see you guys in the next video thank you guys for watching this video and if you guys would like to see more make sure to hit that subscribe button down below
