SNS Apps: Wechat operated by Tencent , Weibo operated by Sina . Each has billions of users , without native support of these apps , Jolla could never hit Chinese market.

What's more , Apple has improved Chinese IME since iOS 7 , added 9-Key IME which caused a lot of people abandon their Jailbreak , it's essential too.

There's a Native Weibo App developed by a developper but it's not available any more , apps won't act well without official cooperation with Sina .

As a mainland chinese user , I don't have regular access to Twitter and FB , SNS = Wechat + Weibo , and I don't want to use Android apps anymore.

So please think about it :)

Out of interest as a non chinese user, what is 9-KEY IME? Using google I was only able to find this question :D

  1. WeChat/QQ: impossible. That's Tencent's problem, you know that. There is no api for WeChat/QQ communication. The only way is to use the Android WeChat/QQ or wait for Tencent, which may be a very lone time. Maybe Jolla can convince Tencent and we donate & pay for Tencent's developing for a Sailfish verison?
  2. Sina Weibo: Hope the developer can fix the Weibo problem :). That's possible. Look like the api has expired.
  3. Love the 9-Key IME idea :). Upvote!

Wechat and weibo was too much to hope for china users. But a 9-KEY IME is so important in mainland china,almost all the chinese use 9-KEY IME except jolla users!! it is more quick and efficient. I have a request for 9-KEY IME half a year ago but nothing happened.

Few china users view Togetherjolla, Id rather vote 1000 if choice may be given!

Besides T9 Pinyin keyboard, the layout of Stroke IM on SF is strange. Without another Stroke layout by developer, Stroke IM is hard to use. It's doubt that if Jolla treats Chinese market as an important market.
