Description by Silas S. Brown (from Google Play)

This browser app adds Pinyin romanisation to any Chinese website or EPUB, but some work better than others. Tested on, but not affiliated to, JW.ORG and the Watchtower Online Library (WOL) Chinese pages (app was formerly called PinyinWol i.e. Pinyin WOL). Annotation is performed by your device itself: this app does not send your browsing through any third party. Access to the site you wish to browse is required.

Features:
* Poor data connection? Page rarely needs to reload when switching back to the app.
* Offline? Use the clipboard viewer, or use the app as a Share target or EPUB viewer.
* Pleco or Hanping integration
* 3lines mode (if you must)
* Bookmarks (shared with our other apps)
* Highlighting and PDF export
* Change text size across all pages
* Dark mode available on Android 10+
* Audio available on Android 5+
* No ads, small size & open-source framework (parts of which are also used by Equipd, JW Chinese and AnnotatedWol)

Comments on Pinyin Web & EPUB for Android

★★★★☆ A Google User · Feb 21, 2015

Great app This is great to help convert the Chinese WOL into pinyin. Very helpful! Thank you!

★★★★★ A Google User · Jun 14, 2015

Amazing app, thank you so much for this most useful tool and your excellent work!

★★★★★ Luca Christina · Nov 28, 2025

I love this app so much. It's so helpful for learning Chinese. It would be nice if you could customize the known words or have them correlate to the hsk levels, so you could pick and choose at what level words you want the Pinyin for. Also if it had an option to keep the epub open and remember the page would be super helpful

★★★★★ Luisa Plummer · Jan 20, 2017

Pinyin puts it in pinyin if I need a copy I screenshot and print. Fantastic, thank you so much

★☆☆☆☆ Artem · Jan 23, 2023

Refreshes the page all the time. Not workable

★☆☆☆☆ Tim McLaws · Mar 7, 2018

Was a great app but the latest update will not install. (error 505)

★★☆☆☆ Kuri · Feb 27, 2021

Worked once on Himanshu (right after reinstall) and after reloading the page, pinyin disappeared, and I could never get to work ever again
