Excellent Chinese-English Dictionary
Iโve been using this dictionary for years. As a native English speaker studying Chinese, I find it straightforward, easy-to-use, and reliable. I know it has other features as well (e.g. saving flash cards for memorization practice, which I used for awhile and found helpful), but most of the time I stick with its basic dictionary function. I will use other dictionaries for example sentences, Chinese-language definitions, or more in-depth character history, but this one is still a very good first-stop resource for a quick, accurate English translation of a word or character.

App and support outstandingโฆ
I have been using the app for years. I love the flashcards, daily sets, and the ability to search and study without the internet. Just a great app.
As we all know sometimes when you update your Apple device things go a little screwy, well this happened twice to me and reset several apps including KTDict. No advanced features 0-:
I contacted the developers and both time I received immediate responses and resolutions without having to purchase the upgrades again (and again).
If you are planning on learning Chinese get the app and buy the upgradeโฆ.. and then use it, it really helps

The best app for learning Cantonese
This app helped me prepare a short speech at a wedding lunch for my wifeโs family. It also helps me to learn how to translate and pronounce words I encounter while walking around Hong Kong. Itโs like having a native speaker with me at all times!
I hope they soon include the option to give Jyutping pronunciation (and/or Yale Romanization) for Cantonese learners. So far, the Hong Kong voice setting has allowed me to learn the pronunciation of different characters, but having Jyutping would be a great addition

Canadian guy
It took me a while to appreciate this app. Once I started playing around with it then I realized that it's very useful to me on my MacBook Air. You can type in English words or Hanzi or pinyin, Allows you to copy/paste
Excellent app
Iโve tried a variety of Chinese translation apps, none of them are as easy to use and comprehensive as this across various platforms.
Clear quick consistent and complete
It has no frills which is excellent. It is clear, consistent and contains a large number of definitions.
Great app
Iโve used this app for ten years and it basically taught me chinese.

Once Great
This app is regularly updated, but perhaps that is the problem? It works great on my tablet, but on the iphone you type in pinyin and choose characters and then want to zoom in and see each character or show someone even older than me full screen and the app glitches. Go back to KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid, because now I hesitate to pull the phone out knowing it wont do what it once did.

Response from developer
Thanks for feedback! We just published a new version in the App Store which brings back the option to adjust the font-size for KTdict - hope you can give it a try.
Excellent app!
Really good and use it every day! ๐๐๐
Used to be good
It worked really well but with the recent updates it crashes all the time.
Does not work sometimes inconsistently.
