FlickType founder Kosta Eleftheriou, who has been vocal about scam apps on several occasions, today announced that his app FlickType Watch Keyboard will be discontinued because of ongoing issues with Apple's App Store review team.

Eleftheriou says that the FlickType team is no longer able to endure Apple's abuse after dealing with "obstacle over obstacle" over the years, culminating in a recent rejection last week.

Apple has thrown us obstacle after obstacle for years while we try to provide an app to improve people's lives, and we can no longer endure their abuse. pic.twitter.com/cH1HCQzeP1 — FlickType Watch Keyboard (@FlickType) August 16, 2021 FlickType keyboard is a Apple Watch keyboard that can be used as an alternative to Apple's built-in Scribble feature. It allows for tap-based typing or swipe-based typing, and the app's description says that it's up to three times faster than the standard keyboard.
