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.

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.

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'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.
