I have downloaded a couple of apps for my Samsung Galaxy Ace but when I go to use them a warning comes up saying the app will store what I type. Are they safe to use?

    Any keyboard that uses spell checks and word recognition stores what you type .If its from the Android market i would go ahead .

    as you're playing with new keyboards, can I suggest you try the swype beta . Not sure I ever want to type letter by letter ever again!

    If you are trying some keyboards, I like SlideIt - it is the only phone app I have ever wanted to pay for. Similar to Swype, but I found it more to my taste.
