Never go away

Been using since came out as well. Just me and you Scott. Ima wa? Is the comparable Japanese version and I’d be devastated if either went away.

The best!

Okay, the only. But still the one I have been using since it went online! There is nothing like it anywhere, and it's free! My only fear is that it will go away soon as there appears to be only two of us using it.

Stopped working on my phone

Love this app! No longer opens upon (or shortly after) installing iOS 14. Please fix!

Awesome app!

This app has taken my learning of Chinese to a whole new level. I have been using it in conjunction with Google Translate for a free audio workaround, but I have been so happy with the free Dian Hua app I just gladly paid for the full audio version. Thank you for making and supporting such a fantastic tool!
