### 1/5 — 现在怎么这么恶心

*2026-06-28*

老版本很流畅 更新后又几把卡每次打开还要几把弹两个鬼框框出来 真的好恶心啊

### 1/5 — iPhone16Pro使用會卡住

*2026-05-16, version 2.3.0*

經常無法輸入，要換回原廠輸入法在切回超注音才會正常，這問題很久了，重新安裝也一樣，不建議iPhone使用者購買。

### 1/5 — 打字都错误

*2026-05-14, version 2.3.0*

發現很多字，明明打對出來卻同音不同字，打只變成隻。。。

### 3/5 — 不順手

*2026-04-30, version 2.3.0*

注音頁面沒有數字，輸入數字要切換頁面到英數或扇形數，輸入效率不順手

### 5/5 — 很可以

*2026-03-24*

方便好用

### 5/5 — 有進步

*2026-03-13, version 2.2.1*

很不錯，有一直在進步。
加了emoji和常用字句👍
希望能再多增添不同顏色的按鍵顏色，謝謝。

### 4/5 — 來些可愛柔和版的鍵盤顏色及錯誤修正的功能吧

*2026-03-12, version 2.2.1*

能不能增加一些少女味或可愛版的按鍵顏色呢？現有的顏色感覺都好鮮豔/顯眼，實在有些辣眼睛🤔加上蘋果更新系統後，輸入錯誤率好像增加了，能否加入中間注音輸入錯誤以後能直接移動修正的功能呢？希望超注音能跟安卓一樣愈來愈好用的，謝謝。

### 2/5 — 會卡會當

*2026-03-12, version 2.2.0*

更新之後又開始變得好卡，甚至連整個程式都當掉只好重新打開，最近的更新後都會這樣

### 2/5 — 这很对于内地不习惯用繁体的人来说很重要

*2026-03-03*

能不能把候选字修改成也可以切换简体字啊？？？

### 1/5 — UI界面太丑了，浪费钱

*2025-12-27, version 2.1.8*

太丑了上古时代风格浪费我30多块钱
