I hope can search notes so that I can search my preference on notes and show star in list result to prioritize result based on star. Not easy to browse yet, but have no other better app that focus on Cantonese for dictionary. The result could be improved with notes and star by self practicing but if cannot search on notes and show the star in list, It still pretty hard to navigate Because some countries, some professionals have their own preferences selected words
Simply awesome because it's easy, pleasant, and productive to use. You won't be held hostage by it's interface.With 60 thousands idiomatically, grammatically arranged entries and clear human voice, plus excellent examples, you have a very welcome Cantonese learning resource? Other great functions include: Excellent characters drawing function, highly useful tagged words widget module with local/cloud back up, Ankidroid connected S.R. learning, and more. Wow, like its excellent Hanping Dict for Mandarin, this developer has done again. Thank you for the hard effort to present these Chinese language resources to all of us.
Best Cantonese dictionary I have ever used! I have been looking everywhere for this! I do admit that sometimes I have a hard time talking to my Chinese relatives but this makes up for it. The tones are accurate and easy to learn too. Do hope you can add new words. 👍 I offer my thanks for providing this app! Edit: I want to give even more stars if I could but 5 stars is the max lol.
In my opinion, this app operate smoothly but this app should be added more examples, there are a lot words that do not have examples. Moreover, it just have English definition, I think Chinese definition will help intermediate users understand the words more comprehensively.
I've used many Cantonese dictionary apps over the years. This one is by far the best, both for searching and learning. The app design is very intuitive and is a pleasure to use. Totally worth the money.
Love the pronunciations and variety of terms. Finding your "favorites" or starred terms is a bit difficult/not obvious and the Anki Flash card app that goes with this seems to need more work. But overall love everything.
By far the best app for the Cantonese language out there. has everything you need and more. the only problem is the incompatibility with the AnkiDroid app (flash cards app), the jyutping and meaning seems to have problems.
I've been using this app on and off for the past 3 years and it is the best Cantonese app out there bar none. On top of that is probably the best developer on the Google Play store. Every problem I've ever had has been dealt with on the same day, politely and efficiently. This app and developer is worth the price of entry. Highly recommended.
An excellent app for learning Chinese whether you write out Chinese characters, using Romanized keyboard or keying in English words. This app has been my companion for more than a decade.
When I updated to Android 10, the widget didn't seem to work properly. When I touched the widget, it didn't open the meaning screen that it used to do.
I never thought to go ahead with this so rich language so culturally profound, and less at my age. Very good and I am thankful with this as also Your all add-on (s)
I think the data should be updated with more examples and it should have a meaning which is explained in Chinese, this will make the dictionary more attractive and understandable. In short this dictionary is short of a lot of information.
it is a hit or miss when using camera mode. if this can be made easier would be a great improvement.
Excellent dictionary for Cantonese and a rare resource. Covers vernacular Cantonese comprehensively, and full of useful features and content.
Keep up the good work. I have installed the 2 apps (actually there 3 apps in total) and paid most of add on within the app.
Best cantonese dictionary. Really useful especially the exams phrases and sentences. Hope the OCR function co.ti.ues to improve
Quite handy. Maybe, the best Cantonese android dictionary I've seen. Worth the price.
Love this app. I just wish it had to the option to play the audio at a faster speed.
This is a really great app! Better than any free dictionary app that I have tested! Worth it!
Totally worth it! Thank you so much for this Cantonese dictionary.
This app is excellent. I've been using it regularly for over a year; it's one of my most important learning tools.
The app is good but could use a lot more idiomatic entries.
App looks too raw to me. It is not that useful for total beginer. Missing testing capabilities. I would like to have easy way how to repeat / test the words, have collections/ topics... Basically at least some kind of help in learning process... There is support for flashcards in different app but that does not support scribing...
