### 1/5 — I can't get  past the instruction screen

*2026-07-31*

I can't even use it- because i can't get past the last page of the instructions. The last arrow leade to nowhere

**Developer response:** Arrow? Did you read the instructions on how to install the keyboard? You have to open the Settings app and then follow the instructions.

### 1/5 — I HATE IT

*2023-05-09*

I changed my contact name in Japanese and it put attack me clear idk I forgot DONT DOWNLOAD IT 😡😡😡

**Developer response:** Sorry, I am not sure I understand you correctly: What went wrong? How can I help? What can I change?

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-02-09*

Doesn’t work what so ever

**Developer response:** What exactly is not working? Please send me an e-mail, I will help you to set up the keyboard.

### 1/5 — VERY INACCURATE!!

*2020-12-17*

I’ve tested it on Google and it’s not exactly what you typed.

**Developer response:** You are right, the keyboard does not translate what you type. It just searches in a dictionary and shows possible words.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for some apps

*2025-05-08*

The keyboard doesn’t pop up when I try to switch to it. 私 缶 しか りようキーボード and the notes app. Not in texts messages or anything

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

I tried all the apps you mentioned on nearly all the available devices, and the keyboard should work after you set it up as described in the app. Unfortunately, just installing it is not sufficient.

Could you please contact me? You can use the contact link in the app (on the last page of the instructions). We can then work together to solve the problem.

Thank you!

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work for me

*2023-05-25*

This app doesn’t work for me. I installed it to my keyboard. I got back on and it wouldn’t let me in!

**Developer response:** You installed the App and can not add the keyboard in the iOS settings? Or you can add it but not choose it when entering a text?

Please remember: the app is only a container for the download and lets you add a keyboard in your iOS settings. If you just start the app it provides only some instructions, not more. The magic comes with the keyboard.

### 2/5 — Inaccurate!

*2020-12-15*

Sadly this keyboard is extremely inaccurate. After verifying with Apple translator of course. Just fix that and bam! You’ve got my 5 stars!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. 

The app uses the entries from JMDICT. I think these are the best translations you can use for free. I am happy to receive errors and report them there.

### 4/5 — pretty accurate

*2023-07-23*

as someone who knows japenese everyone on here was pretty accurate execpt some senteces you would spell and word or 2 would be misplaced and  a few would be wrong but other than that it was pretty legit

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2022-04-10, version 1.0*

It isn't for money. There is a dictionary its so easy to write Japanese with the keyboard!

### 5/5 — Great app !

*2022-03-05, version 1.0*

“It’s not accurate!” Your completely right ! Any translator you use isn’t 100% accurate !!
Translators are mainly good for short phrases or just 1 word rather than a whole sentence. Plus different languages use different wording so most translators make it more like that language (I think…) So either way great app !

### 5/5 — Interesting😆

*2021-01-21*

This app is helpful, now i dont have to copy and paste Japanese words online i could just type it in wirh ease
