Hi, I've definitely had problems getting Fleksy into landscape mode. So far, this issue, along with what seems to me to be a different keyboard height, along with sluggish performance on my iPhone 4, make me inclined to classify this app as one of those experiments which, for me, has gone awry. I get much better performance and accuracy when using an attached BT keyboard or my BrailleNote Apex. Oh well, better luck next time... Sent from my iPhone
