Being able to directly get Hanzi using pinyin keyboard with Typist?
This does what it is described to do, but having the ability to see the suggested Hanzi would be so awesome! When I type in this app using the iOS pinyin keyboard I am able to get the tone marks but it replaces the entire pinyin word with just the tonal character. Is there any way to force it to just replace the single character ?

Brilliant
This app is a godsend for making notes in pinyin on my phone. Not only can I easily choose the tone I want, it automatically places it in the right place.
The only think that would be nice would be a clear / delete option so you can quickly erase what you’ve just typed.

Useless
Doesn’t scroll on an iPad. Totally useless for writing more than 3 lines. Don’t waste your time on it.
Very helpful!!
We are new to Chinese and this is an absolutely fantastic tool. Thank you so much for all the hard work and thought that went into this to make it so useful!
Response from developer
I’m glad you found it useful! Happy Pīnyīn typing!
Excellent Tool!
I have used this app for many years. In spite of being able to read many characters I still find this to be a needed tool now and then. But especially in the beginning of studying Chinese it was invaluable.
