| 2024-11-27 |  | | I paid for the full version of this app. However, the app did not work correctly on my new phone and I had to install and reinstall this app. After I rebooted my phone, the pay wall disappeared. Hope I don't have a similar issue on my next phone upgrade. |
| 2024-01-29 |  | | I paid for upgrade with no advertising but I am still receiving advertising. Another company lacking integrity and honor I guess. My recommendation is to stay with the free version because even after paying for ad removal I am still being advertised to. The advertising is so heavy that I have started making a list of the advertisers and blacklisting the companies. I simply won't buy from them. I have also bought an old fashioned paper back Chinese and English dictionary. |
| 2023-05-13 |  | | SUPER useful! I like that I can look up combinations of Chinese syllables, and specify tones in my search. This allows me to decode me words heard in conversation, on the radio, etc. A little confusing to use sometimes. |
| 2022-12-10 |  | | the app is really helpul, expecially when study chinese. it have radical,compound, sample, lessons and explanation and etc. I full upgraded it immediately however most of the sound is too short and it is not clear. I will change the rate to 5 star if in the future they fix the sound. |
| 2022-11-29 |  | | 1) complete ad-scam app. sometimes 2 or 3 adverts on each new screen. sometimes just the corner of an advert you can't even read (but they charge the advertiser for showing it!!). drowning in ads - so they must be raking in the profits at the expense of what they show on the screen. 2) the audio to pronounce the words is around 5 times faster so cannot understand it at all !!!! |
| 2021-10-07 |  | | As a person who is trying to learn Chinese I was hoping to learn how Chinese words are pronounced. Instead, the app is providing pronunciation for English words, which makes me feel like the app is more appropriate for Chinese people who are learning English than for English-speaking people who are learning Chinese. It's helpful anyway. I'm starting to love it. |
| 2021-04-18 |  | | Still cannot look for new vocabularies by manual drawing its characters since getting the paid version. Still not received any support on the above issue. Additionally, there is no information word type of the vocabulary we are looking for, so we can understand what it means but don't know how to use it correctly. |
| 2021-01-30 |  | | Nice app, .... but: Takes lots of space on internal phone memory. It can't be installed on sd. Can't find options to display traditional chinese, (maybe related to source dictionary) Actually quite nice app, just how to get rid off simplified and enable traditional chinese characters BTW the char ma 嗎 in app has wrong tone indicated as (mǎ) shoul Be ma Positive hmm I am sure many, just start to use it , I'll update the evaluation later on |
| 2021-01-16 |  | | Good app. My default app for finding meaning of Chinese words. The components feature is really useful. One request - in practice tab once you select an answer, the app barely gives you a second to see if you are right or wrong. In case you are wrong it doesn't give you time to mentally note the right answer. I think it would be better if there was a button to go to next question instead of the app automatically moving to next question. |
| 2021-01-09 |  | | I thought the ads were annoying, but wow, the free resources outweigh them all. They have everything that a beginner could ask for including systematic character breakdown to radicals and youtube links to preposition basics for example. So, I highly recommend it. It's my first proper product review, and my one week on this app has been great. |
