Read full description

一款基于 RIME(Rime Input Method Engine · 中州韻輸入法引擎)的输入法。它有以下特点: 1. 在 RIME 引擎的支持下,输入法高度可定制; 2. 支持按键划动输入符号,并且可以自定义输入符号; 3. 支持自定义键盘配色; 感谢 TF 测试反馈的伙伴,没有你们的帮助,新版本就不会上架了。 注意: 1. 无需联网指键盘输入过程,应用功能中「下载输入方案」,「WiFi上传」等功能还是需要网络支持的。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stage1st Reader at none against 仓输入法's 1. Stage1st Reader also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 16). 仓输入法's advantage is ratings volume (177 vs 12) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
