User reviews

Simeji Japanese Keyboard is praised for its excellent Japanese typing experience, including accurate kana and kanji input, helpful for learners, and a visually appealing keyboard with many emojis. However, multiple users report difficulties with the English keyboard layout, auto-correct issues, lag and freezing problems, and challenges with language settings. Some crucial features like clipboard and half-space auto-delete after punctuation are missing or removed. Despite these flaws, it remains a favored option among Japanese language users seeking better input methods than standard keyboards.

Pros

Provides excellent Japanese keyboard with accurate hiragana and kanji recommendations, helpful for learners who are still memorizing kana.
Offers customizable keyboard themes and a visually pleasant interface with useful features like flick input.
Handles switching between Japanese and English typing effectively, smoother than some alternatives like Gboard.
Includes extensive emoji and kaomoji collections, which users appreciate.
Has useful functionalities such as swipe kana input and multiple language support for Japanese and English users.

Cons

English keyboard layout is awkward as it follows Japanese QWERTY, making typing and cursor control difficult.
Auto-correct functionality is sometimes unmanageable, with issues turning it off and poor spell check and predictive text for English.
Keyboard performance issues such as lagging, freezing or disappearing keys occur, especially in certain apps like YouTube and after updates.
Users complain about the app language settings lacking proper English support or difficulty switching app language and keyboard language settings back to English.
Features missing or removed, like clipboard manager, half-space auto-delete after punctuation, and easy switching back to other keyboards (e.g., Gboard).

I've used this app for years, it's the best Japanese keyboard out there. HOWEVER I noticed some of the keyboard themes use AI art. It'd be so easy for Simeji to continue to support & pay artists, but now they're using AI trash for their keyboard themes. It's honestly incredibly disappointing after using this app for so long. Time to find a new keyboard.
