★★★★☆Felix Tian· Dec 5, 2024
The new version no longer allows me to type non-suggested english word (e.g. a word not in word hint) and then choosing it without breaking it with space. Previously the first prompted word was always exactly what I typed, and I could select it, now I can't select it anymore without pressing space.

Fcitx5 for Android still works in 2024 the only real problem is some of the emojis still don't appear right in some Android devices. It has all the features and settings that you want in a keyboard app if you could just fix the app emojis to work and appear right in most Android devices Instead of half working I will give this app a five-star review. It hasn't been updated since August 23, 2023.

I'm getting exhausted of searching for that "just right" keyboard and thought this'd be it but 1 little, pesky activity that I just can't with... So, LOG my 1-star Activity. Hope that changes.
