1. NOT BY SLIDING A FINGER ALONG A SPACEBAR GBOARD!!It's good for hiragana save for small characters (i.e. ょ, っ, etc), but using it for katakana and kanji is nearly impossible unless what you're looking for shows up in the suggestions.

2. They have no option to set emoji provider, advanced conversion, or use 12 key on portrait and QWERTY on landscape.Just one small issue I've had when upgrading to Android 10 and changing the gesture actions to the ones like iOS (and disabling the bottom bar) is that there is now a big white bar across the bottom of the screen.

3. I wish I knew how to customize あ, for example and give it a ten-ten for emphasis.The small "-e/i/o/u" hiragana text surrounding the "-a" hiragana have been removed from the latest version for no reason and you can no longer see which way to flick unless you press and hold each button.

4. Though I've already mastered using this app, it would still be nice if we can turn off the suggestion bar or the highlighting feature or add more symbols for swiping for faster typing.It works and I've been using for a year.

5. So it can be frustrating from time to time and I normally use my iPad for corresponse in Japanese, which is a bit better for Japanese typing.The keyboard vibrates to the touch, which can be annoying sometimes.

6. This shows up even when dark mode is enabled and a dark theme chosen for the keyboard.I love this keyboard, it works on my device perfectly, easy and convenient to use.

7. A few minor problems are that some kanji are Chinese versions; they don't give most commonly used words and kanji as possible options while typing, or those are not included as options.

8. There's also no QWERTY keyboard so you'll have to switch keyboards for romaji unless you really miss old-school typing via 10-key.

9. But when I tried using another keyboard, it works just fine.

10. Why on Earth would you remove functionality? Typing is now considerably if you haven't memorized the keyboard.

11. Overall it could be a lot more robust than it is.Best keyboard app ever for me as a fast, lazy typer because of the swipe feature.
