User reviews

非常有用

多謝!!!

Great app, but with a little bug

The app is great, but sometimes (randomly) the top bar (where the gear icon and other optops is shown) would cover the text-input field. Happenes very frequent in Facebook and Threads, or in apps where the input bar is at the bottm of the page.

有些词的日常读音缺失

感觉有好多次缺少了日常使用中的读音,比如:省钱,日常读作夯钱,查询发音就没有啊!照着标准读saang钱,去广州那么说岂不是让人笑掉大牙?

Response from developer

「慳錢」拼作 haan cin,「夯」係 haang。主應用嘅查字音功能係用來查字音嘅,唔係粵普翻譯。

the best

Very comprehensive, I use it as dictionary mainly, so far the best

加一

希望有手寫反查會更好!!!
