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.

The virtual keybord is excellent. However, when I use this app with Microsoft universal mobile keyboard, Chinese typing do not work. It used to work with the Microsoft universal mobile keyboard 2 weeks ago, but now it does not. Shame that there is almost no support for bluetooth keyboard otherwise this shall be a 5 star app.

fast and convenient, english and chinese options to choose in single input without toggling between different keyboards, but sometimes not working since upgraded to Android 7.0

This has been the most convenient keyboard for hong kong user. It would be even better if the keyboard has emoji options as well.

I just upgraded my android to 5.1.1 and the keyboard stops working, as soon as I open the keyboard and try to type something, the program stops and gives me an error. Please fix, i have been using this one for years.

Used the app for many years. Got so many android devices and first thing to do is to install the app. LOVE the function of remembering recent input words. Cant find a comparable app in play store.
