Should have been a very good piece of keyboard. However, it gives the long press symbols and numbers even if I deliberately type very fast. Tested with more than 5 devices of different brands. Same thing happens in all of them. Even typing this comment produced more than 10 numbers, which wasted a lot of t8me to correct. I am not sure if it's a bug or require delicate motions?

The version I use for my phone when I have to make a word starts with Y pronunciation, it forces me to use J instead. Then when I use it for a tablet, it's normal all of the sudden. I should be able to find my Cantonese with the TRUE pronunciation. I shouldn't NEED to type "zhau"(phone) for 就. Instead, it SHOULD be "jau"(tablet). It's annoying when it's not efficient to use because versions switches… but at the end of the day, this is still a useful one for Cantonese typers.

the Chinese input would default change to Cantonese input, not Cangjie which I set. So, I must show the virtual keyboard. Hope this can be fixed. Thanks very much

Bug in app?!! Voice input button does not always appear on top-right corner of keyboard even when not showing predictive word suggestions, or when i haven't even started typing…… Checked that "show voice input button" option is turned ON in "Keyboard" under app Settings. Same case when typing in various different apps such as Google Search and WeChat. Please fix.

Like it's quite a decent app, and is in fact awfully useful for me on a daily basis. However, lacks vocabularies and terminologies that are common and should be included within the default data base. It often requires myself to manually search for all the words needed one by one, not efficient.

M70%
by M####:

There needs to be an option for manual recognition. The timer and the characters fade wayyyyyy too fast for kids elderly and beginners. Very close to unusable for many stroke characters, because the fade will start.

A70%

Good to add stroke input. Some cantonese words like 㗎and  can't be type on stroke keyboard... please fix. Also, Why are the arrangement for the words had changed?!

T70%
by T####:

It doe@ not have voice input function like the aboard. Furthermore the chinese handwriting recognition is a bit off. But overall the dictionary is very wide and the interface is user friendly.

S70%

Word suggestions do not show up for browsers. Pain in the ass.

Best Cantonese keyboard on the market! Very smart fuzzy pinyin and better UI than most Chinese keyboards. However, it's been a couple years and there's still no gesture typing for Cantonese (it's enabled for the built-in English keyboard though!), and I really wish this wasn't a separate keyboard from the regular Google Keyboard...

I have tried a few Cantonese input apps and each has its good and bad points. Google Cantonese input is the best one so far.

T70%
by T####:

Switching between Chinese handwriting and English is not consistent, i.e. the Global button is not at the same position.

L70%
by L####:

make it so we can change the _ symbol into other symbols cause sometimes we need the / symbol more than other ones also why did you remove the arrow(the ones to move left right up down).- or is it possible if I deactivate an update?I HATE THIS UPDATE LEMME DEACTIVATE IT

O70%
by O####:

I'll probably keep using this in the future coz I believe in Google product and most important that's ads free. Google please make the Chinese word selection order change automatically by frequency. and better make adding new word to user dictionary manually. All I want for now

T70%
by T####:

first, it needs to hide the simplified characters when traditional is chosen in the preference. second, in English input mode, please make the keyboard layout the same as the regular English keyboard because the question mark should be at the same place.

更新後的預測字,好差,同埋預測字有簡體字…!差到想打的字都幾乎預測不到…多了筆劃輪入,很好用,但如果有得再再 加入部首選擇會更好,再加入手寫在鍵盤上,不需轉輸入法!像sony英文加入滑動會更好! 中文轉英文有點難,要先打back. 有待改善!希望能像sony 內置的好用! 請參考sony

Words cannot be found when I type, have to use handwriting method to find it. The Cantonese method has all kinds of screw up on pronunciation. It doesn't give me the right word. I even email Google. I get no answer from it. The voice typing cause my phone unresponsive. I got no solution either.

The app worked pretty well on my s4, but keeps crashing on my zenfone when I use the switch language key! If that's fixed then the app with be back to 5 for me

N70%
by N####:

Thanks for adding one-handed mode. Still, it would be better to add short-cut for one-handed mode like the one in Gboard.

J70%
by J####:

It will be great if it has a number row it's quite inconvenient without. And when I'm tying the words change into Number or caps without long press all the time

Can we add an option to choose whatever word I type when I press space?

Hope it can choose to close down the slide input function for decrease the incorrectly enter the slide word

B70%

Why does the Cantonese version have a warning that it records personal data that is input like passwords and credit cards when none of the other Google Chinese inputs do?

Looking forward to seeing the new features in Gboard incorporated in this, so that I only need one keyboard app from Google instead of two.
