Tone colors ?

I know it’s been a while since these have been updated, but I really use them all the time. I would pay almost anything for a similar app that lets you do tone colors or leave tone markings in. I’m familiar enough to remove many words, but I’m unsure of the tone, so if I want to use this in any official capacity, I have to put the words back in or just use straight pinyin, which is more confusing to me now. An option where you can add/remove the definition, pinyin, and tones would be perfect and I would pay a lot for it.

Love it!

Love the option to gradually get rid of the English and pinyin on words you already know, helps you focus on the characters you still need to learn while being able to take the training wheels off the characters you’re already familiar with. Recently started learning Cantonese, so I wish it had the option for Cantonese Yale as well, that would be an awesome feature. But for learning Mandarin, this app is fantastic.

Bookmarks please.

It has serious difficulty loading longer epubs.

Besides the technical difficulty It does well enough for reading short articles. I really like the pinyin annotations as well as how quickly dictionary lookup works.
However the app is not suitable for reading novels. It forgets your place in the book when it closes and does not have bookmarks.

It seems the developer had a good idea for what he wanted to make, but did not bother making a complete app.

Won’t let me turn off pinyin

I had to reinstall this program onto my iPad and now it will not let me customize how the definitions and pinyin show up. Defeats the purpose of the program as I could use other 3 line apps. Not sur what the issue is. I have already tried reinstalling it twice so that isn’t the issue.
