★★★★★ Crucial app for Chinese language learners!
by JoeUDontKnow · Nov 2, 2025

This app is incredible. You can copy and paste entire sentences in either traditional or simplified Chinese. Then you get a breakdown of all the characters along with all of their definitions, along with useful examples that you can even listen to. You can even learn how to write the characters. So amazingly useful and helpful, don't know what I'd do without it!

★★★★★ Love this app

I was born in America, though Chinese. I use this app sometimes when translating fancy English terms to Chinese for my parents, and for studying the Dao De Jing. Purchased the Outlier Essentials to support this app's efforts.

Im learning Chinese and this app has been such a help!

★★★★★ Best Dictionary App!!
by Apostate_Mage · Jun 12, 2026

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.

★★★★★ 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 !

★★★★★ 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.
