I use this in school. Very 67. No ads. Wayyy awesomer than google translate. More accurate too. 很好很好👌
Clunky
I don't understand why this dictionary has such a high rating. The search functionality is total junk. E.g., try searching for "Monday" with Outlier dictionary. You won't get anything despite that word being present in the dictionary.
Best Dictionary App!!
This app has been amazingly helpful! As a native English speaker trying to learn Mandarin this is so good and powerful. It gives so many more details and information compared to translate apps. I use it as my primary form of review for flashcards, and the other tools like the built in pronunciation and stroke order are so helpful. For sure best purchase I’ve made. Amazing app.

The best Mandarin dictionary app!
It is the best Mandarin app out there. The best!
Amazing for learning
Im learning Chinese and this app has been such a help!
Download with confidence 👍
When I studied and learnt Mandarin, late 80’s, there was no internet, so no apps.
If I’d had this app back then, it would be my *go to* reference, and made learning so much easier.
This app will :
✅ save countless hours
✅ make the whole process much faster
✅ vastly improve comprehension
✅ vastly improve understanding
✅ vastly improve character learning and meanings
Even now I use it to look up unfamiliar words or expressions; breakdown the characters and their meanings; PLUS I get to hear them, see the stroke order, see the radical and it’s meaning...all at the touch of a button.
Absolutely brilliant app that’s been researched and developed to perfection 👍👍👍👍👍
To the few who give bad reviews, try looking up a character using a traditional Chinese dictionary, a dictionary with paper pages.
What radical is it?
How many strokes?
This app makes characters a breeze.
All we had was “top to bottom, left to right, closing stroke last”.
Brilliant. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.
This is one of the most professionally designed apps available so kudos to the developers.
It’s brilliant, and far ahead of anything else.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

App rất hữu ích
Problem updating to 3.8.2
Unable to update to 3.8.2. Device keeps updating to this version but version number never changes.
Thank you so much this is very helpful and helpful to my family and daughter who has homework
When I write a Chinese character I usually don’t do it neatly but the phone always gets it right. It is funny that when I write the character a lot of times it always shows up with the word a lot of times !
Best Chinese dictionary I’ve used for 2026!
If you don’t know how to write or read use this app! 如果你没很会看和写中文的话用这个app。真的很好 it really is good! I hope you can use this app . It is very good for quick search. Better than google translate and stuff.
In praise of Pleco
I’m using John DeFrancis text books. Pleco enables me to learn simplified Chinese simultaneously. I admit to using Google Translate as well. Wonderful source of learning. Thanks.
Overall good
Disadvantages: Somewhat counterintuitive UX and a lot of repetitive words and expressions
Very helpful
Awesome tool for Chinese learners. I love that the free version doesn't have ads. I ended up getting the add-on bundle to get more dictionaries and the stroke order feature. I have tried the flashcards feature, and while it's very quick to create cards, it's not very straightforward to configure. There are so many settings, and it's not clear what some of them do, so you would need to read the manual. I'm going to stick to Anki for flashcards because it's just more straightforward. Also, I wish the app was available on Macs because I don't do a lot of studying just on my phone.

Good application but …
This application is good if you want to find a word but when you want a sentence with the word, they always put hard sentences so it’s very hard to find the word in an easy sentence to try to understand more and how to use the word, if you can change that and put easy sentences to understand how to use some words it’ll be perfect

The Mandarin Pronunciation is broken
Other than the fact the Mandarin pronunciation is broken the base app is fine. Wished the developers picked up on how it doesn’t pronounce words anymore.
thanks!!!
謝謝
Realmente útil
En lo general la app es muy buena,lo único es que todo está en inglés y no entiendo del todo las opciones aún así no le quita que es de los mejores diccionarios :)
👍👍
Excellent UI. Everything responsive but not excessively, does what I would expect or hope it to do. Zero buggy or funny behaviour. Can search for pretty much anything. Imaginative and useful example sentences.
The best app I have ever has!!
A Great Job
missing stroke info
Stroke sequence in Pleco App
Why do some characters in Pleco show stroke order while others don’t?
I use Pleco to learn how to write characters, but I noticed the Stroke tab only appears for some entries.
Does anyone know why stroke order isn’t available for all characters, and whether there’s a setting or add‑on I need to enable to view it consistently?
Like 公 has the stork tab menu, and show stroke sequence.
But 坏 doesn’t show the stroke tab menu.
