SwiftKey Flow Beta update (Free)

Whats it about? Gesture-based keyboard SwiftKey Flow is in public beta available for free from its creators, and it just received a serious update.

Whats cool? Seeing SwiftKey Flow in action is pretty impressive. The app allows users to type on the standard Android keyboard using swiping, rather than typing, but with the added benefit of allowing you to move extremely quick through your words and never lift your finger off the keyboard. The result is an impressive, fast typing solution for using your Android keyboard. The betas most recent update adds a lot of performance improvements, like better battery life, the ability to delete single words if you should mess up while typing, and the ability to switch quickly between flowing and tapping. You can download the beta from SwiftKeys site here. You can also watch their video:

Whos it for? If youre a fan of SwiftKeys other keyboard apps, like SwiftKey 3, youll want to give Flow a try.

Whats it like? As mentioned, try SwiftKey 3, as well as TouchPal Keyboard, for some more gesture typing solutions.

Steampunk Racing 3D (Free)

Whats it about? If you cant tell from the name, Steampunk Racing 3D is a racing title that uses a Steampunk art style and sports solid 3-D graphics.

Whats cool? The primary thing that makes Steampunk Racing fun is the design of its vehicles. Steampunk is an art style noted for the inclusion of things like wood structures, brass piping and pressure gauges, so the vehicles of Steampunk Racing look like they could be more scientific versions of something you might have seen in 1890. That means youll fly around tracks in buggies and trucks from when cars were young, and youll also attack opponents with special weapons, as well. Steampunk Racing includes 16 tracks and more than 30 weapons, as well as a single-player mode and a six-racer multiplayer mode.

Whos it for? If you like racing titles with a bit of a different graphical flare and the ability to blow up your opponents check out Steampunk Racing 3D.

Whats it like? Remedys Death Rally does some great stuff by combining racing with blowing things up, and things get pretty crazy in Reckless Racing, too.
