User reviews

Can’t even use the keyboard

The ONLY app I can use the keyboard is this app. It does not let me use the keyboard on any app! It’s so angering!

Bad app

If i write 朋友 the app writes péngyou. If its like that on a simple word i can't trust this app. Its péngyǒu we all know that. Bad app

Just what I was looking for but make sure to choose most advanced dictionary

Good for students of Chinese that can speak and understand but don’t yet have a good knowledge of characters.

Choosing the simplest dictionary means you miss out on a lot of the simplest words like 到. So choose dictionary wisely.

Absolutely game changing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much x8888 这个帮助了我好多

Want to try it but….

The developer wants full access to transmissions of anything you type… That’s a hard pass for me unfortunately. It looks like it could be a very useful app otherwise. It’s reasonably priced for what it offers. Just let me keep my privacy please.
