Very nice keyboard! It's very handy while I'm picking up chinese, but i wish the english functionality was a bit more fleshed out. it'd be nice to have next-word suggestions, a way to delete suggestions so they don't appear again, a custom symbol layout, a way to adjust the cursor control gesture speed, and custom color themes. (as opposed to wallpapers, which are nice but not what I'm going for) Those are the reasons for my 4-star rating, as I still find myself going back to FUTO keyboard.

To have a pinyin keyboard with ads removed for less than $2.00 is a tremendous deal. I look forward to using this app often to help me communicate with Chinese characters, as I am learning the language. It replaces the standard keyboard, so it does not require constantly changing keyboards to write in English versus Chinese. The text here was all written using the keyboard, without even a hint of difficulty.

Love, love, LOVE this app! I am a native English speaker and I am learning hanzi and radicals and just having the BEST time! This makes it easy for me to practice, use proper pronunciation, memorize, write and read, go from pinyin to simplified Chinese, and if I forget a word or a character, the translate function is so fast and easy to use. 😊 谢 谢! Thank you! P.S. To those who are intimidated by the characters and pronunciation, it is so much easier than French, English, German, etc.! 😉
