Pleco Chinese Dictionary

★★★★★ PLEASE pay attention! It's CANTONESE CHINESE. Maybe you're studying Mandarin Chinese, it's not the same

★★★★★ I couldn't have survived in China for so long without this app. Both as a daily dictionary and a customizable flashcard bank it has kept me going for the last 5 years. It's nothing flashy, but it's a foundational resource that everyone who studies mandarin should have.

★★★★★ This is a must-have tool to learn Chinese! It has a flash card feature that is useful for tagging and then test your knowledge of the words you want to learn. It also shows you how to write Chinese characters. You can also search for words either in English or pinyin. It is more than just a dictionary.

★★☆☆☆ What's the point? A terrible UI makes this a confusing mess. Most of the features didn't seem to work and anything that looked remotely useful is behind a pay wall with no way of trying it or even knowing if it works before they make you pay for it. I just gave up trying to make heads or tails out of anything here. No OCR without risking payment, no dictionary without risking payment, no study feature without risking payment. The download is useless without throwing a bunch of money at it.

★★☆☆☆ Before I was able to automatically add to the sub category, now I have to press 3 extra buttons. Adding 15 new vocabulary requires me to press 45 more buttons. Why did you break something that was working perfectly? Before I was able to choose a subcategory in the "flashcards" and it would automatically add the flashcards there. Now I have to press it all manually.

★★☆☆☆ After years of updates and bloatware on top of bloatware, can no longer hold to copy and paste words because it instead plays an audio file in front of whoever you are standing beside
