My goodness, wrong!!
Where do I start? So many of the functions just do not work, maybe it's a bug. The 'one' word that the App comes with (afraid) is not in Cantonese, the audio pronounciation is just wrong! So wrong and I don't know what kind of accent it is! 100% wrong. Not even a nice try and it's actually quite bad as this is teaching people the wrong thing which is unacceptable!

Native Speaker? Got to be Kidding
I'm a native Cantonese speaker. I was looking for an app that I can use with my children. The female speaker is fine and sound like a native speaker.
But the male speaker is speaks with a "foreign" accent. By foreign, I mean he sounded like either he is a native Mandarin speaker and not Cantonese (huge difference) or he must be an American born Chinese who learned to listen Cantonese from his family but rarely ever spoke it growing up.
My advise is if you want to use this app, ignore all the words that uses the male voice. Unfortunately, each word/phrase is pronounced only by one speaker and not both. So, you won't get their full vocabulary list.

Problem
I downloaded lite ver. and it will constantly freeze while update. The update would restart in the middle, and i cannot even delete the program during update process. This is very frustrating.
Slightly better than the last version
Looks like some of the pronunciation has been fixed. The male voices are still either muffled or off, but the main female voice is spot on with all the pronounciations. If the next version uses her voice for all the words then I will give a five star rating
Grrrrrr!!!!!
I liked this before update. Doesn't work now. New words don't show in wordbank, but old words are intact.
Can't get rid of the annoying red "1" showing over app thumbnail.
Crashes every time I open the app.

I upgraded and now it doesn
Such a shame. This app is terrible do not take it on...... now mine doesn't work at all and I just cancelled it again after I had built up a great word bank.... it just stopped woking no more new words although it would indicate every morning that a new word was waiting but that was not the case. It's a terrible shame because the concept is good but the application just doesn't follow through..... there is no way I would upgrade to the full version after I have had so much trouble with this one...

Works well
Good.
Just got it
Just got it today, we will see how is it
Simplified
The only thing about this application is that the written Cantonese words are simplified Chinese. That is a big problem for me as when I want to learn cantonese for use in hong kong, Cantonese are written in traditional Chinese, not simplified. Now I have restraints from learning the words in fear of mixing it up in the traditional use. I hope there will be a change from the simplified Chinese to traditional Chinese in the next update.
