Update (11/06 4:00pm): Apple has chosen Swype as the App Store’s Free App of the Week.
Back at WWDC 2014, Apple announced it would be allowing users to install third party keyboards in iOS 8. While there are a number of virtual keyboard options out there like SwiftKey and Fleksy, Nuance’s popular Swype keyboard app has gone free for the first time since it released in mid September.
