Hello, it's me, Guileless Bopomofo Keyboard.I have implemented most features of libchewing (https://chewing.im/), to provide you a choice of Bopomofo software keyboard (aka input method editor).
* Unlike other similar products, though I don't have fuzzy, error-tolerance design, I do still have ability to predict possible phrases by context, and I do remember phrases from your typing history automatically.
* Besides the most common "DaChen", I also provide you "Hsu", "E-Ten 26 keys", and "DaChen CP26" Bopomofo keyboard layouts.
* I also support physical keyboard input with the same layout options, so you can use a consistent Bopomofo experience across virtual and hardware keyboards.

WhatsNew:
Hi there! Guileless Bopomofo 4.0.10 fixes a physical keyboard issue.
* Fixed the symbol picker on physical keyboards: pressing the `‵` key and choosing a category (such as brackets) now opens the second-level menu instead of dropping back to the input screen. (#73)
Thanks for using Guileless Bopomofo!
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
