- Search History: All search terms entered into the Search field are stored in your Search History. Touch any term in the list to see the results.

- Flashcards: Select any combination of Traditional, Simplified, English, and Pinyin for the Front and Back of the cards and grade your confidence in your answer. If you choose to use the Difficulty sorting algorithm, more difficult words will be shown more often than words you tend to answer correctly.

Ratings and Reviews
Great for learning Mandarin Chinese
This is an excellent application. The Flashcard function makes learning new words and characters less troublesome than it would normally be. The bookmark function is also a great idea and works well when set up correctly - it takes a bit of getting used to and it would be great if later versions allowed deletion of words and transfer of words between bookmarks. Also, it would be good if short sentences could be stored under a bookmark and search results could be sorted by tone.
An excellent app
This is an amazing application and it is free. I would have been quite happy to pay for this. I am fully bilingual in terms of speaking and reading, but as virtually all of my writings for the past 40-50 years have been in English, I tend to forget how to write most Chinese words. This dictionary is a saviour.
A must have for anyone whose primary language is English but occasionally need to write some Chinese.
Bad now, was good.
Ever since recent update, users have been asked to log in all the time before getting to dictionary. And it's now 4 steps before you can use the app: open into a login page, choose offline, warning given then one press ok, goes into dictionary page, another warning!!!!!!!!! Now now now... This is irritating. And it's not as stable as before, keeps crashing.
For users who just want to have a simple dictionary which used to work well for past years, this is now a hassle. There should be option for users to be able to go back to simple offline mode after initial set-up of new update and then leave users' experience of the app same as before. Sad, very sad.
