### 5/5 — WOW!!!

*2026-01-21*

Where has this been all my life??? This makes learning Cantonese as cool as learning Mandarin these days. This is an amazing tool for typing in Cantonese without knowing the Mandarin pronunciation for a particular character, as I would use Hanyu Pinyin for typing in Chinese and I would have to hand write those characters exclusive to Cantonese. Great work!!!

### 5/5 — Exactly what i needed

*2026-01-10*

Native english speaker, slowly learning cantonese to speak to grandparents and this has been amazing

### 5/5 — 真的太强大了，感动哭了，我记忆中很少甚至没有主动评论过好评，谢谢作者

*2025-12-17*

要是多一个支持普拼更好了，不过已经很优秀了，一定要活下去

### 3/5 — Please add Yale romanization

*2025-05-05*

I downloaded this because the app Cantoboard got removed from the App Store, and I only use Yale, not jyutping

### 2/5 — Trad/Simp Switch

*2024-11-21*

The toggle for switching tradition/simplified characters are now missing in v1.1.2

### 4/5 — 改進空間

*2024-03-01*

這款輸入法做得好好，體驗相當逼近官方輸入法。不過還有改進空間：⒈有時啓動會窒；⒉無法隱藏英文；⒊詞彙聯想不夠智慧。

望改進，再次感謝！

### 5/5 — 有關反查

*2024-02-13, version 1.0.0*

可唔可以有埋用速成嚟反查粵拼？
另外如果 eo 同埋 oe 呢對聲母可以混合使用就會更加方便

### 5/5 — 好方便，打錯少少都出到

*2024-02-12, version 1.0.0*

開咗糾錯功能，打錯都出到
仲有好多香港嘅地名
推介俾學廣東話、用緊普通話拼音打字嘅朋友

### 3/5 — 漢語拼音反查基本不可用

*2024-02-08, version 1.0.0*

漢語拼音反查基本是生僻字，基本不可用。
