Review summary

User feedback is mixed. The Japanese keyboard plugin is praised by some for its integration with Multiling O Keyboard and its usefulness when it runs, with at least one report of good performance on Samsung devices. However, a dominant pattern across many reviews is poor cross-device compatibility and OS support, paired with weak predictions/kanji suggestions. Dictionary limitations (no user dictionary or import) and occasional freezing further degrade usability. Reviewers consistently request features like Furigana, better prediction, and dictionary customization to unlock the plugin’s potential.

Pros

Strong integration with Multiling O Keyboard, appreciated by long-time users.
Useful Japanese input plugin; some reviewers describe it as great or valuable when it works.
Works well on Samsung devices according to at least one reviewer.

Cons

Frequent device and OS compatibility issues (incompatibility on many phones and Android versions).
Poor/erratic word prediction and kanji suggestions, with auto-correct sometimes changing correct input.
Dictionary limitations: no user dictionary, no import capability, and a limited built-in dictionary (including lack of a names dictionary).
Stability issues such as freezing or hanging on some devices.
Missing features and customization options (no Furigana support, no next-word prediction, and limited ability to customize or import dictionaries).

2026-04-13	Mi*****	I would really love to go back to using Multiling Keyboard, but I need Japanese input, and apparently the dictionary plugin is not compatible with my new phone (Samsung S25+). Without it, I can't use kanji, which is essential!! I really hope it get updated soon. Until then, back to the stock Samsung keyboard…

2026-02-04	Vk*****	Not compatible with my phone, apparently, there's no support for libraries either.

2025-11-22	Yu*****	Hi! I've been using Multiling O Keyboard for over 10 years, and I love it. I recently upgraded my phone to Samsung S25+, but the Japanese plugin is no longer compatible. Could you update the plugin?
