Panda Dictionary & HSK Trainer
Speak & Study Mandarin Chinese
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fast offline lookup, 2026 HSK study, camera translation, pronunciation, flashcards, reading assist, Mahjong, kinship, food, music, and cinema tools for daily learning.
Panda Dictionary & HSK Trainer is a modern Chinese-English learning companion built around fast lookup, clear pronunciation, and practical study tools. Use it for everyday words, 2026 HSK vocabulary, Chinese text you see in the real world, and cultural terms that ordinary dictionaries often make hard to explore.
Search traditional or simplified characters, pinyin, Jyutping, Cantonese romanization, or English. Open a result to hear Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin, or Hong Kong Cantonese, compare writing forms, inspect related entries, and break longer words into character-level meanings.
Panda is dictionary-first, but not dictionary-only. It brings lookup, reading, scanning, HSK study, flashcards, and playful cultural explorers into one focused iPhone app.
Highlights:
- Fast offline Chinese-English lookup after installation
- 2026 HSK vocabulary browser (HSK 1-2 free; HSK 3-9 with Panda Plus or a free video)
- HSK games and flashcards (HSK 1-2 free; HSK 3-9 with Panda Plus or a free video)
- Reading Assist with pinyin above pasted Chinese text
- Camera OCR scan and offline translation support
- Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin, and Cantonese pronunciation
- Character breakdowns and related dictionary entries
- Kinship explorer for Chinese family relationships
- Mahjong tile and winning hand explorer
- Food, music, and cinema discovery
Use Panda when you want to look up a Chinese word quickly, check how it sounds, understand each character inside a phrase, review HSK vocabulary, scan Chinese text, or explore language through Hong Kong food, songs, films, family terms, and Mahjong.
Core dictionary lookup works offline after installation, so you can keep studying while traveling, commuting, reading, or sitting somewhere with no reliable signal.
Free and Panda Plus:
Dictionary lookup, camera scan, Reading Assist, and the culture explorers are free to use. HSK 1-2 vocabulary, games, and flashcards are free too. HSK 3-9 vocabulary, games, and flashcards unlock with Panda Plus, or with a free rewarded video that grants 10 minutes of access.
Panda Plus is an auto-renewable subscription offered monthly, every 6 months, or yearly. The exact price is shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.

Panda is designed for learners who want a clean dictionary, useful pronunciation, and practical Chinese study tools without turning every lookup into a course lesson.
Fixed a bug where tapping a pronunciation flag could speak the wrong Chinese dialect — for example, Mandarin words read aloud in Cantonese — when your device's default Chinese voice was set to another dialect. Each flag now always uses its own dialect's voice.
