I am on the lookout for recommended apps for exercise, menu planning, and writing. The keyboard on my new phone is small enough that it is a challenge to type as fast as I think.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but you should check out Swype as an alternate keyboard.
Thanks Bob. I have a Nexus 4 and the keyboard indeed has some swiping functions and yet I am still getting used to it. If only I had thinner fingers!
I’m pretty happy with the built-in keyboard, but for better predictive text (and now swiping behavior) its worth checking out SwiftKey as an alternative to Swype. It mines more of your information (e.g. email, twitter, SMS, etc) to build its predictive corpus. I’ve used it off and on with some happiness.
I am getting better at the predictive keyboard, though it is still way slower for me than touch typing. I’d play a typing tutor game if I found one that used the system keyboard so that I could test it out with real gameplay.
