A virtual keyboard with a gamification element? That’s what Fleksy’s Android software just became, thanks to the big version 2.0 update of its app that just went live. The update offers a ‘Badge’ system to reward use, not unlike the one you’d find in Foursquare and other apps. Fleksy 2.0 also introduces ‘My Fleksy Cloud,’ a syncing feature that unites Fleksy’s user-specific features, including its individual-based language and writing style algorithm, across different installations of the software on multiple Android devices.
The update’s badge system currently offers rewards for user behavior including learning how to use its gesture-based input method and mastering that technique, as well as for using its invisible keyboard mode. This is a unique means of convincing users to stick with a novel method of digital input, and one that Fleksy COO and founder Ioannis Verdelis thinks will help users have more fun picking up his company’s software. Plus, users can unlock very tangible rewards using badges, including an extension to Fleksy’s 30-day free trial period.
