You may want to check the following: • Have you tried restarting the phone? Sometimes a bug in Android can be resolved by simply restarting your device. 3.5. Frequently Asked Questions 15 PokiiMap Documentation, Release Latest • Did it stop working after you updated the app? If yes, it may be a bug with the update, contact the developer to let him know, it will likely to be fixed in the next update. • Did it stop working after you change the settings? If yes, you may want to uninstall/reinstall Kii Keyboard to reset its settings so that it’s back to a clean state. Some words cannot be gesture inputted, for example ‘nasty’... Many ‘offensive’ words have very low priority so that the auto-correction algorithm will not suggest such words by accident. For example, you will never want ‘duck’ to be auto-corrected to ‘fuck’. For some unknown reasons, the word ‘nasty’ was marked as an offensive word in Android’s English dictionary (which Kii Keyboard also uses), therefore it’s difficult to swipe the word ‘nasty’ due to its low priority in the dictionary. To fix this, you can add the word ‘nasty’ to the user dictionary, which forces it priority to increase. That way the word ‘nasty’ will show up when you swipe. Be careful when adding offensive words to the user dictionary for the reasons stated above. Dual Language Input Do you speak more than 1 language?
