  • Stopped working on my phone

    Love this app! No longer opens upon (or shortly after) installing iOS 14. Please fix!
  • Not updating

    DianHua audio doesn’t work. Please update
  • Awesome app!

    This app has taken my learning of Chinese to a whole new level. I have been using it in conjunction with Google Translate for a free audio workaround, but I have been so happy with the free Dian Hua app I just gladly paid for the full audio version. Thank you for making and supporting such a fantastic tool!

  • Writing characters

    I have been using Dian Hua for several years, and I find it very useful, especially during trips to China. Lately I am having difficulties in practicing writing over the characters outline. The frame slides or the stroke doesn't appear over the hanzi. Am I doing something wrong?
  • Good dictionary with annoying pop up

    I use this dictionary almost as much as Pleco. I just wish that it didn't ask you to log in EVERY time you open the app and the follow up, every time, with another pop up reminding you that you are not logged in yet. You'd think after telling me this about 500 time I would remember I still wasn't logged in...

  • Not what it used to be

    The app hasn't worked for me since the update. I used it as a quick reference lookup tool if I needed to know a word quickly, and liked it better than Pleco for this function. However, since the update it now requires me to sign in and sync with their online site. I do not have, nor do I wish to have a registered account, but I find that I am unable to even use the dictionary function without signing up. Thanks but no thanks guys.

  • Great app

    Speed and fairly comprehensive vocab set. Could use chengyu (4word idioms) addition though. Love the character writing quiz function. Wish could quiz on pinyin as well though. Also wish that there was some way to keep track of which ones were missed for both the quiz and flashcard system. That would makethis app practically perfect.

  • Perfect!

    I'm currently learning Mandarin in use university and this is the best and most used of my dictionaries. I wish you would make an iPad version. :) Keep up the good job!
  • Great handy dictionary

    I can't believe this app is free. I've been looking for a reliable dictionary for a while. It's easy to use and I like how all types of writing and definitions are on the same page (especially with the traditional Chinese and pinyin, so I know it's the word I'm thinking of). Really great because my Chinese literacy is limited and now I can easily look up words to translate for my parents.

  • Freaking amazing

    A full CE-DICT dictionary list crammed into an iPhone app that allows you to search by pinyin, character, or English meaning. There is so much flexibility inherent here, and the fact that the iPhone by default allows you to draw in characters that you don't know the pinyin to allows you to translate pretty much anything in front of you. Absolutely a must for any traveler. Did I mention it was free?
