Never noticed that one. Both are pretty similiar I guess...
I only found it because it was linked on the page for the other one!
Installed it and am loving it!
Been impressed with the Windows "look" on the Nokia phones but was reluctant due to no Google integration - this is the best of both worlds!
Its amazing that its allowed to be honest!
Right, thanks. I'll try that.

Has anyone noticed Swiftkey Flow not saving the words you add?

Yep, drives me nuts... plus swiftkey doesn't allow Swype action in search boxes, which also drives nee nuts
Hence the heads up for the Swype update... cos it just works...everywhere

I think I'm going to go back to normal Swiftkey, because that just worked

Can anyone recomend any good apps for hiking? Going to be climbing Mount Snowdon on Saturday.
Is there anything that will use the GPS on our phones, with maps to show our position and the trail we left? Would be good to have it as a backup so we know we're not going wrong. Also be good as a little memento.

Cheers.
Will it cache the map data, so we can see maps when we're not on data?

Firefox received an update last night, some UI improvements and JAVA performance.Also a master password option I've not noticed before meaning Sync users can have that extra level of security.
I notice that on forum reply text boxes that the selection cursor arrow is now usable whereas it didn't exist in the last version.

Bah, Firefox (and Chrome) still have this awful text size rendering issue.
It's the only thing that stops me using either of them. At least on my S3 I can use the Samsung-ized AOSP browser, but on my Nexus 7 I'm stuck with Chrome. Still can't settle on a decent browser having tried them all. I quite like the simplicity of the AOSP one.

Same, looks awful on every forum I browse and plus the UI is awful too.

Probably not. For any "serious" hiking I'd suggest Viewranger with OS Explorer (1:25000) maps installed.
The app itself is free but they make their money with OS map licensing - prices vary but for all of dartmoor it cost around £20. The big bonus is its not at all reliant on data / gprs signal - it just needs GPS.
Its got me out of a few sticky situations in the highlands when the cloud base has come down
