Syntellia have just released a new update to Fleksy, which includes a number of significant changes and new features.

We're particularly pleased to see that you can now try the app for free. Although you will need to pay to unlock the full functionality of the app, you can now at least experience what it is like typing with Fleksy before parting with any money.

Here is the press release from Syntellia:

Each month the AppleVis Editorial Team sit down at our virtual conference table and decide which of the apps submitted to the site during that month should be our monthly pick ... and boy, was it a tough decision this month!

Lots of great apps were featured on AppleVis in July, and a number of those stimulated a lot of discussion, some of which was quite heated.

We tried hard not to be predictable with our choice, but we ultimately had to accept that Fleksy was without doubt the most significant app to hit this site in July. Although its functionality, usefulness, potential and pricing were all subjects of much debate, there is no getting away from the fact that it brought something totally new to the iOS platform and that many of you absolutely love it.

The CNN App for iPhone has traditionally been very accessible. However, a recent update has introduced significant issues for both VoiceOver and Braille users.

Considering CNN's position as one of the leading global news sources, and the fact that people from around the world will be looking to them for coverage of the forthcoming US Presidential election, we're hoping that you will all support our campaign and lobby CNN to address these issues as a matter of some urgency.

If you've taken part in any of our past campaigns, you will know that it only takes a few moments and a handful of mouse clicks.

After the closest vote to date, Vokul has become the latest inductee into our iOS App Hall of Fame.

Vokul narrowly edged out its two closest challengers by just a single vote, highlighting how important it is to cast your vote each month, as yours might be the one that makes the difference!

So as I am sitting here listening to the Olympic Games on my television. I thought to myself. Hey, let's do an Olympic Games of our own! Who knows? Maybe it would be fun or not so fun. That will be up to you! If it turns out to be successful and people like this then I will post a different event throughout the Summer Olympics!
