ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

超注音 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phraseboard Keyboard has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Phraseboard Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 53% of 超注音's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Phraseboard Keyboard ships an update every 3 weeks, 超注音 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
