Comments on Chaozhuyin for Android

★★★★☆ Olivier Bernardi · Feb 14, 2018
Hi, it's a very responsive app, and it has a good design. One missing feature is to have the candidates in simplified Chinese. It already outputs to simplified, but the candidates are in traditional instead. If it had that feature, I could recommend it to everyone, buy it and put 5 stars! Good job overall.
★★★★★ David Chang · Apr 28, 2016
Pls make the keyboard size adjustable both height and width
★★★★☆ Joseph Tzeng · May 6, 2016
Need quicker access to question mark when using english keyboard... autocorrect would be nice too
★☆☆☆☆ CJ BlueSky · Jun 28, 2022
Can't install update on S22 Ultra. And after typing I have to close keyboard to send messages out. It's really annoying!
★☆☆☆☆ s h · Jan 22, 2023
