Ratings and Reviews
Perfect, and could be perfecter...
DianHua has so many good features that other English-Chinese dictionaries don't, like the audio module, handwriting practice, history and bookmarks. And it works smoothly. But the ZHDict Chinese English Dictionary has as-you-type searching which is extremely handy. That's the only reason I still have both on my iPod. If DianHua added this feature it would be OMGSFAOMG!!!1. As it is, it's about OMGFA!!! and I still can't believe it's free, so I bought the audio module...
Better than others I've seen.
The addition of the flashcard and writing study tools makes this app a really flexible and useful one for studying Chinese! I am now able to bookmark sets of words I am currently studying, and work through each set until I am familiar with them. Thanks for a great application. Best thing is that it is free (unless you want to purchase the audio module).
Useful but not quite there yet
Obviously the app can only be as good as the underlying data. Many terms in this dictionary are not used anymore today. It would be nice if the data would have that info, so the app is actually not to blame.
In its current version the labels for traditional and simplified characters are swapped. Something for a bug fix. The search speed is not yet perfect either.
3 stars for the app because it's free and still usable if you're looking for that particular term but know what you're looking for.
