Comments on Chinese Keyboard - Pinyin for Android

★★★★☆ Brealyn Bagangan · May 27, 2026

This keyboard is really good, it has translation, voice record and more but since I'm someone who wants my keyboard to be costumized, It didn't have that much option just the picture, no font style, color and more but overall it is good. Now this is what I'm using to communicate with my friends, and it also helps me train my mandarin if I typed correctly or if it was translated correctly 🥰🥰

★★★★★ Daniel Chukwu · Mar 22, 2026

Keyboard is so amazing. Really love the handwriting option for Heinz included in the app.

★★★★☆ nina · Jul 10, 2026

Hi im using this keyboard in my mandarin learning journey and a beginner language learner, I find it's the best chinese keyboard ever on the app store. I love how I can change theme and use emojis, stickers, fonts, and emojis! I just wish translator had an option for pinyin too. Please look into upgrading to this feature, it will be so helpful and useful for me as a chinese learner! Thank you so very much. 🩷🫶xiexie

★★☆☆☆ Tony Zhu · Feb 25, 2026

No Fuzzy PinYin? Oof. It seems to be a functional keyboard in the beginning, but the Character Selection List is Too Short. Can't find some less common character.
