Unimpressed. Even in trial mode, it has ads! It should state it's a premium app and not lure users to install. The most unimpressed is it only provides simplified Chinese. I mean it's a paid app and should have a feature to allow users to choose. This app also requires access to camera/photos... why would a dictionary needs to access my cam/photos? Uninstalled immediately.
It's a good dictionary, but the camera feature is uttlerly useless. As this is the most useful feature outside of the dictionary itself, I can't recommend it, especially not purchasing it, until the camera feature is improved.
The main page looks good but the dictionary section and word lookup is visually displeasing. It makes the whole app look very cheap. Take a look at the Myriam Webster Dictionary app, don't copy exactly but get an inspiration. This app will also improve a lot if Chinese pronunciation is added. At this point the app is useless, Google Translate is more helpful. Not trying to bash the work you've put in so far. Hope you can take this as constructive criticism. Thank you for looking into it!
I use this App to learn and search Chinese words. Sufficiently clear and deep definition for most words. Even better if they added more words. Worth the buck
Don't get why it show my trial is end. I just download this apps not more than 10min and shows the trial is end? Don't really get what is the difference between full version and free version, no specific description on apps. Only specific how much I need to pay????
Does not have audio for Chinese, but does for English. Thus, it is not an optimal resource for learning Chinese.
always pop up to shows you to buy the off line offer before you read, if remove it will automatic came out from the apps. it makes you inconvenience. free with nothing to read
I paid $12.95 for the app and you are telling me that it only has the Simplified Chinese version? How about the Traditional Chinese users? Please update your app.
This is a 30 day trial only, doesnt seem like you can use it after the 30 days. uninstalling.
The user should be able to convert from simplified to traditional characters and vice versa.
Purchased the premium version but still contain advertisements from the developer.
it's the best app I've ever used while my learning Chinese. Thank you so much!
Slow, slow and slow. Takes forever to search.
Uninstall immediately, only few seconds after installed...it said free trial is end
Need a offline if I go out I need to search for my words dictionary and you don't have the offline dictionary Chinese for it is great I understand the words in your app
I can't buy the premium.it exits when i click the purchase link.
I paid to purchase this app. But the translate result same as a free application. Please try to improve it.
The scrolling is not smooth :(( I think Pleco has more Chinese words..
Not recommended slow unnecessary and no useful info
It is not free and can't use for offline . Con app.
Very bad needs to pay after the trial period
Second character is being ignored when searching.
It cannot Translate English to Chinese
I think it is a good choice to check English.
Hope the vocabulary can be larger
Can not hear chinese words only english paid for nothing
Mobi Support was slow to respond to my questions sent by email, despite multiple follow-up. I had to come here to get attention. 2 ways to lookup a word from browser or another app: SELECT the word and there is "lookup" option, or COPY the word then the App icon pop up. It keeps your Recent lookup, and you can star a word in Favorites. HOWEVER, there is No way to backup your Recent or Favorite, and No way to sync your Favorites and Recent across multipe devices.
