Tips:1. If you experience extreme lag after updating, try uninstalling and re-installing the keyboard again.2. After changing theme, try to restart the keyboard or rotate the device with the keyboard active, to make the new theme effective.3. If you experience touch difficulty, try to set the Touch sensitivity settings as High and Neutral.4. If you experience missing candidates, try enabling the 'Rarely used characters' option of 'Chinese candidates' setting.5. Simplified Chinese candidates are disabled by default. Enable it at the 'Character type' option of 'Chinese candidates' setting if required.

It is good but I can only type one word per time. What I mean is for example when I type 學校，I need to type hok > choose the word 學 > haau > choose the word 校， but cannot type at once hokhaau and choose the word 學校 . Hope they can improve this function !
Was ok at first. Recently, when I type J, words starting with letter Y came up. I don't understand why. What is wrong ??
Once figured/accustomed to the romanization, super convenient. Thank you!
No idea how to activate it after installed -Zenfone 4 max
doesn't give all the characters
No option to open. Don't waste your time.
Nothing shows up
There isn't a lot of apps, that I know of, which provide JyutPing IME (most of them are cantonese input with different systems) and this app is the best among the many apps that I have tried from. One of the best is the English-to-Chinese Search, you could easily search for a word just by entering the English version of it. I teach Cantonese online and this is the app I recommend for my students to use for practicing their JyutPing.
It's too bad the developer thinks that Cantonese "belongs" to Hong Kong by refusing to input a "simplified Chinese character only" option. The only options are "traditional only" and "traditional + simplified". If anything, this really makes me want to switch to pinyin, and eventually I will. If you truly seek to preserve Cantonese (which originated in Guangzhou), don't force traditional down our throats. I'm not happy with Cantonese being on the decline either, but you don't have to make things so political. Overseas Chinese + Guangdongers outnumber you HKers/Macauers by over 100x. If you study history, ROC introduced the simplification first. After PRC won the war, they adopted it. Traditional vs. Simplified is a political, not a linguistic one. Be mature and accept that languages change overtime.
Pressed "install", then nothing happens; no icon shortcut to Home screen. Very disappointed, as there doesn't seem to be a Google Cantonese keyboard now
cannot get the jyut ping after selecting character(s). so i cannot learn them for future input. But other than that, it's very quick if you know your jyut ping.
Love it. Ive been looking for this app for awhile, try the other from the same company, but this is the best with hk words. Ironically this call dictionary keyboard doesnt have auto correct. As you can see it didnt add the symbol ' where it supposed to. Like instead of isnt or didnt, it need to auto change to isn't and didn't. And need auto capital too. But overall, great for what it does, love it.
It stopped being an available input method after updating to Swype 1.4. Please fix this ASAP so I can give back the 5 stars. I've always enjoyed using this.
This is definitely my favorite keyboard. Thank you!!!!
謝謝你。非常好用！ 我在網上找到很好的粵拼教學，但是找不到同樣品質的廣東拼音教學。 There seems to be a bug. Try type in fung. Bug fixed on Jan 31 ! Thanks for the quick response.
Lack of tonal disambiguation makes typing a horrible experience. Users should be able to type a number for specifying tones. Why remove part of the language's phonology?
