### 1/5 — Worse language app

*2025-12-03*

As soon as I open the app, I’m presented with subscribe screen for payment that I cannot continue unless I pay.  How do they expect people to pay for an app they can’t even try

### 4/5 — Good Canto app

*2025-10-01*

I jump to this app first when I need help with Cantonese, particularly the characters. My wife usually corrects my pronunciation to the local way HK people speak, which is fun. 

I would’ve happily given 5 stars if it weren’t for one annoying fact, I have paid for the “lifetime” full app three times over the last several years. When I opened it up today and it asked for more money again, I decided I’ve had enough.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-12-28*

🇨🇳🇭🇰🇲🇴:廣東話最好嘅應用程式我唔係中國澳門或者香港人，但係個應用程式幫我發展咗我嘅音調（呢個係由 google translate 翻譯嚟嘅，如果有唔正確嘅文法，唔好意思） 
🇭🇰🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦: best app for cantonese i'm not from china macau or hong kong but the app has helped me develop my tones and talk more thank you/多謝你

### 5/5 — Very good

*2024-12-11*

Easy to use, good free version, no full screen ads. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Great selection of Cantonese words

*2024-03-26*

Would have given 5 but there isn't a way to enlargen the words, making some of the characters difficult to read and copy.

### 1/5 — Not Faai ngok

*2023-10-20*

快樂 is not faai ngok 
Faai lok

### 5/5 — useful if you’re learning Cantonese

*2021-08-26*

i got this app because I wanted a phrasebook app in Cantonese, and this was exactly what I needed!! I decided to get the pro version and it has been extremely helpful in my Cantonese learning.

### 4/5 — Good but kinda off

*2020-01-21*

I downloaded this app because I can speak canto pretty fluently but I can’t write it. I know some basic words, so when I hear things that are kinda off, it bothers me. Like, for example, rain is not supposed to be pronounced in the same tone as fish. But in this app, it is. Another thing, the word umbrella. We may write with the word 傘for umbrella, but when we’re speaking it, it’s 遮. So I’m not sure if it’s trying to teach written, or spoken form of cantonese. And I feel like they should inform people who aren’t native speakers. Or have both terms included.

### 1/5 — Um, tones

*2017-02-11*

Tones and recording don't match. Either that or this is a different transcription than most people use. If it's sandhi rules at play, shouldn't that be mentioned somewhere? Fix this.

### 5/5 — Accurate translations

*2017-01-04*

So I've been using this app for quite some time now and decided to buy the pro version. It's actually very easy to use and i think it will be good if i ever travel to hong kong. My girlfriend is Chinese which is why i started using this app in the first place.

I like the app, its pretty accurate and sometimes i catch my girlfriend off guard when i say something she didn't think i knew.
