I was hoping to love this keyboard because gboard just destroyed itself on its last update. but I really hate that it's all in English letters. there's no setting to switch back and forth between Japanese characters and English letters. and that was the one thing I liked about gboard until they removed that. also scrolling through the kanji is very limited and it was frustrating using it to find a specific character that wasn't listed.

It would be 4 or 5 stars if there was an option to turn off the handwriting time-out. I'm still learning Japanese so I draw the characters slowly, but the app just assumes the character I wanted and doesn't give me time to finish. I wish I could turn off this time-out feature and make it wait for me to manually choose from the suggested characters.

This app is really cool because you can type everything out in romaji and choose the desired characters. However, the keyboard is not very intuitive when it comes to suggestions. Many times in order to get just one kata symbol I have to write out a different word that includes it, delete what I don't need, and splice it into place. This is a pain in the ass. Secondly, sometimes it will only give one option for translation. If I type in "su" it will only give す and not ス. Just recently, if I backspace after typing a word, it will delete the character, but then paste my romaji spelling onto the end, creating a lot more work. This app is amazing and at the forefront of japanese keyboard apps, but the bugs it has affect the most important functions, so it's really frustrating to use right now.
