3.5 or 4

I currently have 3.5 and tried 4.0 for like a day and remembered I didn't like it so I went back to 3.5. I was thinking of trying it again though. Its been a few months since the release and was just wondering what some of your thoughts were.

bump, does anyone use Touchpal anymore?

I'm still using 3.5 and waiting to see what they'll do about the rewrite that V4 badly needs. The V4 release has had zero bug fixes because they're busy writing the Android version, and I'm just fine using the one that works.

That's the first program I install after a ROM flash! Still using 3.5.

I'm using Touch Pal exclusively I tried V4 and didn't like it so I'm back on 3.5 and loving it.

Dang it, Im on v4 and never tried 3.5, but every post ive read says its better. I need to find the cab to go back, why would they make something worse than it already is?

What bugs have you experienced? I personally prefer v4. To me it seems more responsive and smoother. I think the swiping options on v3.5 were betterm but not enough to outweigh the improved speed and usability of v4 IMO.

I've read a few things people didn't like with 4.0 such as "3.5 can show the next word inline. I find this very very helpful. 4 does not have this option"

For me, it was the fact they removed " - _ : ; ( ) \ and @ from the main layout page.

Personally I have used TouchPal since ver 3 and I prefer 4 so it is all a matter of taste. I personally don't see what everyone doesn't like about 4 its got everything 3.5 had and more. Personally the trade off was OK as I got some really useful buttons on the main screen and those other characters can still be gotten to easily.

I use 3.5, I tried 4.0 & hated it (most long time users hated it). I agree totally with this statement:

I made my own skin for 3.5 & see no reason to ever switch to any other version at this point.
