The Flick Key app is unique in its class, as it is the world’s smallest keyboard. The keyboard features six keys that resemble square blocks and each block has nine letters. The idea behind the app is that this will create a faster and easier typing experience, especially for those with electronics with smaller screens.
Product reviews have in the most part been positive; as with anything new, you just have to get used to the product. This Flick Key app is revolutionary because of its size and its functional value for smaller-screened products. If calculator watches come back into style and have texting capabilities, this would be first on my list of things to get.
