      Smart Keyboard is awsome but Japanese sucks Unfortunately Japanese isn't up to speed. While most modern input methods (Windows, Mac, iOS, even Android) pick the right kanjis for pretty much a whole sentence these days, this one can only pick word by word, and often picks wrong. While I'm an absolute fan of Smart Keyboard, if you need Japanese daily, this won't do it.

      Error correction is really bad. XT9 does not work in compact mode. Nigoriten key in T9 layout shows two ugly boxes. HTC Hero 2.1

      o_O I can't get the pro version so the ad that pops up all the time is really annoying... also this needs the cool symbols that the japanese people use all the time to make those cool emoticons.. UPDATE!!!

      Works great for typing in romanji method. (Type tsu to get つ and such.) For those that can't figure it out: hold 123 key to go to keyboard options.
      A Google User
      Needs final touch Must be the best keyboard out there. But please fix: 1. When a word is changed to hiragana/kanji from romaji input, then is backspaced, it somehow DELETES a character in the previous part of text! PLEASE do something about this, it is VERY annoying. 2. Consecutive words to be converted to kanji at once etc, e.g.あおいとり to 青い鳥 3. Option to hide "。" key, enter button is so small for me. Thank you! Love the concept of customisable long-press, dictionary and gestures though, good job!

      It's ok. It works great but it's annoying the pop up telling you to buy the pro version. Sorry but i'll uninstall it and look for something free. See ya and good luck.

      Needs Updating 1. Often puts likely words as last choices. 2. Needs Kana only mode, as hard to input Katakana only and sometimes Hiragana only. 3. Weirdness with "n" kana and words that end with the "n" kana. 4. Japanese keyboard hasn't been updated in years!

      Good, but not great... It's one of the best Japanese keyboards for Android, but the dictionary is lacking and conversion needs polishing...

      Insufficient dictionary. VERY common words nonexistent, 帰る 買って etc. Rare kanji tend to come first, 佳い for よい etc. Double size (space) ? ! also needed.

      Needs more symbols The conversion is pretty good, but missing the "ー" symbol for, for example, "キーボード". also in the "。/、" key, it will be nice if you put the "?/!"as well. and will be better if i can convert to hiragana and katakana.

      Cannot type a long sentence all at once. It does not have the ability to change everything into kanji, so they will become a long hiragana sentence.

      Difficult Tried to type a simple "watashi wa", kanji watashi isn't the first recommendation (Wth?) and I can't figure out how to get the system to allow particle wa which is nowhere in the recommends. Ridiculous.
