Great app especially if youre learning japanese. having a single button to switch between hiragana and katakana on the fly is already a 5/5 for me personally, rather than searching through a suggestion box. Also as previously mentioned the customization options and frequent collabs are super cool~

Unfortunately, the keyboard is broken for me again. See previous complaint — Every time I select it, my entire keyboard disappears with no way for me to bring it up again. The only way to "fix" this is to restart my phone. However, once I lock and unlock my phone, the same problem occurs and the keyboard disappears again. Please fix this. I have been using this keyboard for a long time and would like to continue using it.

When I enabled the app, my phone said something about it being able to read my data, including personal data. Plus most of the app is in Japanese with no English option (to my knowledge). I uninstalled soon after because it all seemed pretty suspicious. Look at the other apps, please.

It's not bad. It takes some 'getting used to.' The auto correct/spell check is literally garbage. It has a lot of functions that I haven't scratched the surface of. It gets the job done. I don't know of a better one. Google keyboard in Japanese is better at some things, but I use this instead, because it's better at other things.

very useful and easy to use app. the flick function makes the character input easy and the keyboard pleasant to look at. also when you realize the patter where the characters are placed, even if you haven't memorized all characters yet the keyboard helps refresh memory. good job. :)

great Japanese and English keyboard. 日本語と英語のキーボードがとてもいい。 I am learning Japanese. I can write Japanese because of this keyboard. 日本語を勉強する。このキーボードから日本語を書ける。 I really like swipe kana. I write in kana not romaji. the English keyboard is not as good as the native one, ”HTC Sense Input”. the problem I notice some English users having, results from not knowing enough kana. example は is not 'wa', を is not 'o'.

Like the other reviews, I experience the same problem. (cannot easily switch to other keyboard) (T_T) Also, can you please remove the extra space on the top above the icons? It takes too much space when I would like the keyboard to be minimalist as possible, like Google Keyboard. いつもありがとうございます。 よろしくお願いいたしますm(_ _)m

its alright i just hate that the only way to spell check is with auto corrrect since the predictive text doesnt work with typos. the cursor bar wont let me edit my sentence, so if you write a long paragraph and make a typo, youre screwed and have to erase everything up until the typo. the emojis are not updated and you cant change the default language or add others. japanese keyboard is good and i like the kaomoji. the format takes some getting used to.

Very good but Autocorrect can't be turned off suddenly? Please fix this is awful and keeps changing what I'm writing. This is a great app as long as it allows to turn off Autocorrect! I'll change my rating to 5 stars when this is fixed, arghh. Edit- Now working correctly autocorrect is turned off. 5 stars for you. Thank you devloppers.

It is a great app, im loving it so much. Although I have a few problems, I cant understand what this or that means since I havent fully learned the japanese language yet and Im hoping that you could choose whether the language of the app is english or japanese. One more thing is that the dictionary and the extra space in the keyboard really bothers me snd I dont know how to turn it off. Overall, Im still completely satisfied.

So far I quite enjoyed using this keyboard. Few suggestions: it would be great if we can customise the upward swipe shortcuts for the punctuations (those tiny ones shown above each keys) and would like to be able to delete words for learning dictionary through a long press in the input area. Still, overall a great keyboard to use!

well, i just try to used it but it feels different because there's no keyboard sound. I hope you add some sound soon and other settings like to turn off the auto capitalize. This far, i like the keyboard because it have a complete emoji. Also i think it needs to be fixed because everytime i wanted to delete some typos on this review, i moved the cursor to delete it but it keeps moving back to down here. Fix this please

The keyboard was nice at first but I started seeing some issues such as : the words being arranged poorly so I end up misspelling multiple different words ,the wallpapers are cool but they should also have a lock screen only option , it's difficult to find the kaomoji , and it's impossible to change the settings I accidentally set the language of the app to korean and I can't change it back to English ,and I do wish there were more language options

I sent a feedback through their app before but never got a response so I decided to report it here. Great keyboard who uses Japanese and English all the time. I didn't have any issues with it until they stopped removing spaces after inserting a punctuation mark (I have the Auto Space Insert function turned on for convenience). Since it comes in default on many English keyboards, not having this function is kind of a headache. I would appreciate it if you could fix the issue soon.

App still gets stuck in apps like on Youtube commenting gets stuck and can't type, until after I wait about a minute then it lets me type, also if I decide to just not comment anymore I can close Youtube but the Simeji keyboard will stay open and unresponsive until the allotted 1 minute passes. This is very annoying and the update did not fix this problem at all.

Was a pretty good keyboard, but in a recent update they seemed to have removed the option to switch back to the google keyboard. Due to this 2 stars. EDIT: Simeji has responded to me but the seem to have misunderstood. What i meant is that you cant switch from Simeji Keyboard to Gboard input easily, this was previously very easily doable in a past update.

I don't use it as an English keyboard, but its the best keyboard for Japanese I've found. It actually has the hiragana and accurate Kanji recommendations for you. And doesn't make you type in the romanji to type, its super good if your still trying to remember kana. And keyboard themes are very easy to find. (The app gets easier to navigate when your understanding of Japanese gets better, though still easy enough to navigate with a limited understanding)

This keyboard is really good but I wish there is a grammar check function, like when typing Japanese, I want to know if my sentence is correct and if the sentence is wrong I want the corrected sentence. Will change the review to 5 stars if this function is implemented. ☺

The keyboard has great functions and all. Although, I find they Qwerty option for English kinda frustrating to use. The buttons on the bottom of the screen are counter intuitive to press, and the random apostrophe mark on the right of the keyboard besides the L is super annoying. But that's the only problem I have. I just wish you can customize the button placements for the qwerty keyboard a bit more.

Missing 2 major features: 1. Auto-Delete Half-Space with Punctuation Mark 2. Clipboard I've been using your Simeji keyboard over the years through a variety of Android phones. I currently have a Pixel 6 Pro (Android 12). I'm a Japanese and like to use "Simeji keyboard" which is easier for me to use for Both Japanese & English... With Simeji, I can switch from English to Japanese typing easier/faster than Gboard and it's got many more options for BG for the keyboard as well. But ever since I switched to P6Pro, I can’t find Clipboard I loved when I had Samsung S20, and haven’t been able to find ANY Clipboard Manager app that would work for me… If you include a Clipboard feature within the Simeji keyboard AND bring back the feature of “Delete a Half-Space when I type a Punctuation Mark like “it used to be”, your app will be almost PERFECT!!!
