新端末でもウィジェットが

使えたらいいなぁ。

変換はピカイチだが、ややスピード感に欠ける

ひらがな→漢字変換や変換候補の豊富さなどスクリブルに比べて優位性は高いが、一方で記入→変換候補から選ぶという動作はスクリブルのスピード感に比べて劣るのが非常に惜しい。
完全な改善にはつながらないかもしれないが、バックスペース、改行、スクロールボタンを左側にもつけてくれれば両手操作が出来るようになり、スピード感も改善されるのでは。

ok

it getting lagging so much more lately, please fix

Flutterとの相性に難あるが、「いま」という入力で現時刻が候補に出るのは便利

2026年現在、おそらく10年程愛用してきた。最近、iPhone標準の日本語手書きも導入し、普段は本アプリ、一部のアプリでの入力にはiPhone標準というように、使い分けている。

「いま」という入力に対して、現時刻が候補に並んでいることなど、本アプリの方が便利に感じることが多い。

しかしFlutterで開発されたアプリの入力に本アプリを使うと、手書き認識された文字列が、候補文字列選択後も残ってしまう。例えば「かいはつ」と書いて「開発」を選ぶと「かいはつ開発」という文字列が入力欄に並んでしまうので、そのようになったアプリの入力にはiPhone標準の日本語手書きを使っている。

Almost good, but falls short

First and most importantly, the input panel does not open in all apps (specifically the settings app). Although handwriting recognition works well, and gestures are intuitive, input can be glitchy. Or more specifically the lack of input. Opening the keyboard may retain previously cleared input, tapping in a text region may input the last input which gets annoying when you're trying to move the cursor to the end of the line and it keeps inserting words in the middle of other ones, With the last update 3 years ago and no refund available I fear the app isn't even in maintenance mode anymore and I've just wasted my money.
