A couple of times it has blocked the input field on Facebook plus a few times I did not see a place to change or exit out of the writing Panel back to fullscreen mode but all in all it works great using just your finger and you can draw symbols $ยข]@"=)., ? = tho not every one, still Its adequate for most work, even in your browser, Lovelt.Hi, I was using this app very frequently and for the past few months is unable to use as the app is hanging and I have to do a force shut down all the time.

3. Again the app is very positive and i would definitely recommend it, even if you just keep it as an option.A great app for individuals who have difficulties using the keyboard due to the size not being adequate for their hands.

4. I would have thought that detail could be shared in a more direct manner.The keyboard estimates what it thinks you are writing and moves on quickly between strokes leaving you with two partially completed characters instead of the one you are trying to write.

5. The default "gesture" for backspace is slide from right to left horizontally, which happens to be a valid stroke in Chinese characters, this becomes quite annoying after I finish writing a sentence only find half of the chars are deleted.This Is One of Googles best.

6. I often use the Japanese handwriting input but now when I select it no keyboard comes up and the app crashes, prompting me to close it.

8. I suspect (from reading the Gboard update details) that handwriting input is being integrated into Gboard.

9. Has un installed and installed the Handwriting input app 5 to 6 times and has sent many messages to the customer team and hasn't received any help.

10. It may have additional settings somewhere but the app is too frustrating to find them.I personally believe that the app is great and has certainly got improved handwriting recognition then most other apps.
