Is it just me?

Wish Apple would do something about the lame grey keyboard

All the improvements they've done with iOS 8 and we still got that plain grey keyboard

Remember you can install third party keyboards now, Have a look in the app store to see if there's one you like better.
I can recommend SwiftKey.

I just want a gloss black keyboard

As mentioned above - some of the 3rd party keyboards come with themes and most have predictive text as well...

SwiftKey has the gloss black keyboard. Thank you

Soooo, I downloaded Swiftkey and when I hit the toggle to allow full access, I got this message:
"Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type, including things you have previously typed with this keyboard. This could include sensitive information such as your credit card or street address."

Now paranoid me is wondering how serious this admission truly is? Scares the heck out of me enough to not use it!

I read this-

You might find this helpful too.
Once you selected SwiftKey, you’ll get a pop-up asking whether you’re willing to give SwiftKey “full access.”

The warning is admittedly scary, considering that it says SwiftKey can “transmit anything” I type and things I’ve “previously typed,” including my “credit card number or street address.” To clear up what this means, I asked the company’s chief marketing officer Joe Braidwood to explain why his keyboard needs such an intense number of capabilities.
“The thing about the Apple design is that without full access, the keyboard operates in its own little sandbox,” he told Yahoo Tech. “So all of the language tracking, cloud syncing, and all of the slightly more complicated features we’ve built need that access so our app can talk to it. It allows SwiftKey to pass information to the keyboard, to make it useful rather than just pretty.”
SwiftKey, for what it’s worth, isn’t angling to make money by selling your personal information (or address) to companies, but rather via in-app purchases of add-on features. If you want to learn more about its privacy policy, check it out here.

Thanks very much for the info Ivy. Worthwhile doing a bit of investigating!
