User reviews

No audio

I wish it had the pronunciation audio. That way you could hear it and practice over and over.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review yale1234. Great idea!! Our initial version made an attempt to keep the app size small, so it's responsive and doesn't need to access data on the internet, so it's secure (because it doesn't collect user data). We'll keep this in mind for a future update.

Cantonese is great, but overlooked language

I haven't studied Cantonese for a while, but this app helps me a lot. One thing I remember is it's difficult to write and pronunciation needs to be perfected. Oh, and it's notoriously non-standardized. This app helps a lot and it's a great resource because unless you are from Hong Kong or Southern China helpful resources are hard to find for Cantonese. However, this is one of them.
