### 4/5 — It’s so cool

*2023-12-23, version 0.41*

It’s so cool

### 5/5 — Wonderful app for ANY Chinese learner

*2022-06-21, version 0.41*

Super helpful you can see this app was created with love by a fan of Chinese. Just a great versatile tool to use!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-06-11, version 0.41*

But I can’t find out how to translate from English to Chinese

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-03-04, version 0.41*

I’m really glad I have this app!

### 4/5 — Can we link it to Apple Books?

*2020-02-09*

Good app, but ifs it possible to link it to Apple Books so that it can help me read books?

### 4/5 — Use this all the time. Very handy dictionary!

*2019-09-11*

Search by English, pinyin, or HanZi. They all will give you results. I would give it 5 stars except not all the words have one particular feature, which I value a lot. Many of the words have a brush-sroke animation and practice panel  —but some do not. 
I believe some of the less-frequent characters are the culprits missing this additional feature. So, because of this, only 4 stars.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2019-02-15, version 0.41*

Réellement bien fait ! Donne des choix de sens à l’aide d’expressions.

### 5/5 — Best one.

I gave many Chinese English and vice versa apps but Huaying is my go to and my favorite. 5星级！ 赞！

### 5/5 — Very convenient and easy to use, highly recommended!

*2018-12-15, version 0.41*

No ads and other disturbing things like other apps. The translation is fast, direct and I can find the words easily. The app shows the stroke and pinying which can be a good tool to learn Chinese as well

### 5/5 — Super bien, complet et précis

*2017-02-01, version 0.41*

Merci
