**Pīnyīn Typist works in iOS 8.**Pīnyīn makes reading and writing Mandarin Chinese as quick and easy as it ought to be, and Pīnyīn Typist makes typing real, professional-quality Pīnyīn as quick and easy as *it* ought to be. Pīnyīn Typist was the first iOS Pīnyīn typing app, and it’s still the best.On the iPad, the iPhone, and the iPod touch, Pīnyīn Typist is *noticeably* the quickest, easiest, most natural, most fun, and most beautifully iOS-native way to type exactly the Pīnyīn you want, with proper tone marks.Its *nice, big* tone mark, Ü, hyphen, and apostrophe buttons work with *just a simple tap*.*It even puts the tone marks over the right vowels for you*, and *it also makes it easy to make corrections to tone marks without having to backspace and retype*.On iOS 7 and above, Apple’s Simplified Chinese-English dictionary can be used look up Pīnyīn words that you type.Pīnyīn Typist launches quickly, so with it on your Apple mobile device, you can quickly and easily type real Pīnyīn text to write down anything you hear or want to say in Mandarin, just about anytime the need arises or inspiration strikes.

(THIS APP IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO TYPE CHINESE CHARACTERS—it supports the standard iOS ways of typing characters.)Note that like Chinese Braille (which is based on Pīnyīn), Pīnyīn is a full *writing system* for Mandarin, not just a pronunciation aid. And since, as linguists hold, speech is primary and writing is secondary, it’s good that Pīnyīn just works and lets you focus on speech, on *communicating*.All the text in the Pīnyīn Typing tab view can be copied with a single tap of the Copy button, and then pasted in other apps, e.g. Pages, Word, Twitter, Messages, Skype, Vesper, etc. (iOS’s standard copying and pasting methods work too.)Pīnyīn Typist’s sharing functionality lets you share Pīnyīn, etc. text in the various ways enabled by iOS, including email, Messages, AirDrop, Twitter, Facebook, Sina Weibo, and Tencent Weibo.Because of its dastardly diacritical tone marks, many have found Pīnyīn to be a real pain to type into their computing devices.
