After updating iOS 10, there is no more "define" button so you can't learn at all what the characters mean. The only thing that works is the audio. When you put in walls of text, there are whole paragraphs where the pinyin are not converted. And there is no cancel button for the "clear text". You have no idea how many times I accidentally pressed clear text when I didn't want to.

I bought the app this morning and tried it out. After conversion, every paragraph ended with a Speak button so the phone would pronounce the text, which is good; but not all paragraphs were tagged with pinyin. Every few paragraphs were just skipped. This app has ONE job, and currently cannot manage to do it.

I study Chinese a lot & conveniently use this app for audio practice. It’s quite good, but sometimes the text, especially Chinese numbers, are listed as asterisks. That’s the only gripe.

I bought this expecting it to be a robust app capable of taking pictures of the characters and translating them into pinyin so I can do my homework faster. Why the hell do I need an app to translate into pinyin I already know? Wasted money.
