Comments on Pinyin Simplified MessagEase for Android
★★★★★Cheng Wei Chang· Oct 11, 2017
It's possible to make it usable using the following tips. You can fish out a specific word if you have a strong enough chinese vocabulary of compound words (词语 or 成语), say you want to type 椅 (yi) which happens to be hidden in a sea of other words with the same pronunciation. What you can do is to type yizi to get 椅子 then delete away the 子. The main problem with the app is its non-dynamic nature of its database which I'm sure the team will work hard on it.

Great concept, poor execution. 1 star because it's unusable. Here are 2 main reasons why this feature of Messages is not useful: 1) There are five different accents for every sound in chinese, namely the -, ˊ, ˇ, ˋ, ˙ accents. Normally, when you use pinyin, you key in english letters and then add one of these 5 accents to narrow down the possible word choices. Messages doesn't provide the option of adding these accents, so when I try to type Pinyin, I always find myself with too many possible word choices. This makes typing chinese slow and cumbersome. 2) Some sounds are very common in chinese. Pinyin, by nature, uses the sound of a chinese word to search for and type the word. Therefore, if you happen to be looking for a word that has a very common sound but is very infrequently used, you might need to search through all the possibilities (which could be 3 pages long) to find it. When I try to use Pinyin in Messages, it unfortunately truncates the possible word list, so it's IMPOSSIBLE to type uncommon words with common sounds. I can't type the word 倞, for example. I love Messages (gave it 5 stars), but this feature is just ineffective. Will change to 5 stars they fix it.
