Too many mistakes with tones

Perhaps there should be a link for users to send in their discoveries of mistakes.

Great app but..

This is very helpful for me as Cantonese is my second language. But recent update you are not able to cancel the ad once it’s finished. Please fix this !!

No Jyut Pin

An update or two ago, this app would show pronunciations in both jyut pin and pin yin. Now it’s even worse. It’s showing jyut pin as the pin yin!

My Go-To Chinese dictionary

The dictionary is the most versatile of all dictionaries I have used. A search can be done using English or Chinese (traditional or simplified characters). The pronunciation guide is given in both Cantonese and Mandarin. Aside from offering the meaning of a single word, the dictionary also lists phrases and idiomatic expressions using the word.
