Gboard is getting visibly worse almost on a daily basis, especially autocorrecting perfectly legitimate words, presumably based on dubious analysis of other people’s writing. So what’s worth trying? The ability to swipe type is a big plus

      Autocorrect will either “fix” common words into something else, or outright refuse to fix super common typos. You have to delete suggestions that you know you will never use, and add words and abbreviations (I use “appt” a lot, for example, the keyboard used to correct it to “and”).

      This may be common knowledge for a lot of you, but some people don’t realize that you can tweak those things.
