I use the keybkard for at least 5 years right now but only lately I found out a problem. For some reason when I type in MS Words, it would erase the words when I'm correcting a words behind just like when I touch 'Ins' on computer. But when I tried using another keyboard, it works just fine. I'm already comfortable with this and I don't want to change so hopefully it'll get better.

It works pretty well for me. As I've seen on the "some" other reviews that they can't uninstall the app. It's pretty obvious to go to the settings in your phone > apps > search or find Japanese input > uninstall. Just like how you uninstall other apps manually in the settings. Geez, basic problem with basic solution but always disregarded.

Delightful. Having mastered this interface for at least eight years, across three phones, I can say that using this has been a joy. Blocking (underlining) are easily dismissed with a swift tap of the enter key and you're given two magical arrow keys to move the cursor when your fat fingers lack the needed precision. NOT BY SLIDING A FINGER ALONG A SPACEBAR GBOARD!!

I love this keyboard, it works on my device perfectly, easy and convenient to use. But if you plan to abandon the development and maintenance of it in favor of whatever other app, can you at least opensource it or something, instead of making it nag me about the other damn thing? If I wanted to use or even try something else, I'd be doing that, thank you. But since I'm not doing that, it stands to reason that I'm satisfied with this app. Back in the day, Winamp, Nero Burning ROM, Azuerus, and a bunch of other software demonstrated that there is such a thing that a software is done, complete, and any additional development would just make it worse. Please consider these.

Please don't merge with Gboard... Gboard is a mess! You can't easily find simple characters like '%', and you can't type more complex ones like『●∀○』「♤▽♤」【✓●✓】(⇒and so many others ‼ ★☆✚♡…) ✔ This was written with Google Japanese Input, without any problem!

Please do not merge with gboard. The symbol menu and access in gboard is an absolute mess, while the symbol selection screen here is much more simple and straightforward to use
