Comments on Pinyiner for Android

★★★★☆ ДЖереми Сенько · Oct 1, 2016

Boohoo I know it's not in the name, but additional support for boohoo would be great! :)

★★★★★ A Google User · Aug 7, 2014

Great for learning Chinese Straightforward app that let's use annotate any Chinese text with pinyin and optionally check the translation of any word. Very useful for Chinese learning.

★★★★★ Tingo78 · Sep 12, 2025

One of the most useful apps, just cut and paste the Chinese texts, and you'll get the Pinyin, so I can both read and understand what my colleagues are texting to me. The app may look plain, but it is functional and so easy to use that I use it almost every day!

★★★★☆ Robert Tallafer · May 13, 2016

A bug The best app for reading Chinese, it should be more popular. It would be even better if you added left and right buttons like in Pleco. There is a bug when you get to the next page load, it goes back to the previous page load, I would like that fixed.

★☆☆☆☆ Alex · Apr 27, 2025

I want this! Unfortunately I'm not going to pay for it because it crashes easily in basic version, and I don't know if premium version has that and possibly many more bugs. Hasn't been updated since 2023. If you choose traditional, pleco colors and write "now" in mandarin in both simplified and traditional then it crashes. I didn't look into it further which parts are enough to cause the crash. I saw many missing characters as well. Seems best to not mix Original with colors. No black theme. Ads.

Not for a beginner It could be useful if you are advanced in Mandarin not as a beginner

There are many homonym errors. For example 撒 (Sā or Sǎ)
