2. After changing theme, try to restart the keyboard or rotate the device with the keyboard active, to make the new theme effective.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★absolutly a clever keyboard
5 ★Hope to see on IOS
1 ★It is basically pinyin input
5 ★One of a kind.
5 ★This kicks most other keyboards into the reeds! Not only does it accurately enable typing of Chinese characters using Cantonese phonetics, it is also very flexible and forgiving. Will even translate English on the fly. The only thing lacking is the ability to add/customise the dictionary, which lacks some slang and uncommon characters. Still excellent.
3 ★Password entered in Chrome have problem recently and resulted login error in web services or home NAS. Change to Google keyboard then login success, or password entered in Dolphins broswer is login normal too. Factory reset still can't fix the problem.
2 ★Been using for years but since last week starting a big issue, whenever i needs to input password then always login fails. This happens mainly to Chrome browser for all websites. Strange thing is I tried on another browser (opera) and it works fine. I also tried to switch to another keyboard (e.g. google cantonese keyboard) but back to using Chrome and it works fine too.
5 ★Been using it for years. My Chinese writing skill isn't that good and I don't know how to pinyin. This keyboard is god sent to me. I just type in English words and the Chinese translations come out. Took a while to get used to and had to be very creative to come up with some words but that was the fun part! After a while typing Chinese became so easy! The only thing I wish they'd include is the swiping method. I don't see why it cannot include one because ultimately I am just typing English words.
2 ★Whenever trying to input words in those password input field, it seems to be typing, but i guess it is just typing input space instead of the actual letter maybe??? Please kindly fix this.
4 ★The switching is fussy. Though the word selection especially for traditional Chinese and Cantonese are quite well done but when need switching between Chinese and English is really troublesome. Good for single language user.
5 ★Have been using it for years. It can even translate english into cantonese when I didnt recall some of the cantonese phonetics lol... this is my default keyboard and i have never thought of switching it
5 ★Im using samsung 6 edge. Always have problem, jump out of typing when i use my left hand to type T in whatapp. But no problem in other place. Or when i use right thumb.
