big quality of life issue with this app, where it changes your keyboard input setting on its own. Almost every time, handwriting/English-to-Chinese becomes English-to-English. This is the keyboard for Chinese though!? The handwriting recognition is not bad, but the pinyin recognition is odd, does not always provide common phrases even when the pinyin is correct. An improved rating is possible if there would be a "default" input setting, and also if the pinyin were more .. accurate

I've been using this keyboard for over 3 years and I'm still fascinated by all its features! It has a built in translator and also the GIFs and text stickers. I love how customizable it is and it's definitely the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used.
