BubbleText was not a weekend that printed money

Updated 14 September 2026: 2.3 adds Pro exclusives (Mixer, photo keys, text art, phrases). Packs stay lifetime. Autocorrect stays free.

BubbleText launched in 2014. Calling the current app a weekend project is cute and false. The 2.x keyboard is a rewrite with on-device autocorrect and optional packs.

Lifetime downloads we saw in an internal crash review were on the order of thousands, not 100,000. Packs and a small Pro subscription are how it pays for itself, slowly.
