經常閃退、Emoji 只有黃膚色

客服經常處於非回應時段,問他甚麼時候是回應時段又不回答; 閃退問題嚴重; 更新後,打字時 Emoji 只有黃膚色,極度不便!能按客戶要求作出改善才能給予正評(2025-09);停的不是免費版的 Okidokey,而是付費版的 Frankie,變相將來 Frankie 下架後,要再付費訂閱 Okidokey,這操作讓人廢解!(2025-10)



升級到 ios26 之後打幾個字母就會卡住

用嘸蝦米,才打幾個字根就開始吃字,整個輸入法卡死,要不斷切換手機才能動。

目前在iOS上使用外接鍵盤使用嘸蝦米輸入法最好的解決方案

因為iOS不支援第三方輸入法使用外接鍵盤,試過好幾款APP後,這是流程設計最好的方案了。現在iPhone和iPad上用外接鍵盤打字都是用這個app。

更新後 九宮格 鍵盤無法使用

更新後 九宮格 鍵盤無法使用,設定好行列10,但輸入法都無法切換出來。
行列30,若設定有九宮格鍵盤,九宮格鍵盤無法切換出來。
