Ratings and Reviews
Best app for Chinese
My favorite is the reader, better than Pleco. Get the premium version it’s worth it. You can even select different font styles and have the choice of mainland, TW, HK for voice reading. Also character reference on the side of the reading pane and can add words to flash card practice. Characters are large. I will say that the character photo scanner didn’t work force the first time I tried but I haven’t tried again. If they had a stroke order or practice function for learning to write this would be even better.
Rare app
Only a few apps out there that allow you to write a character that you don’t know and allow you to find it after you draw it. Definitions comes out right away. Also has a speaker function that pronounces the character. On top of that it has function that draws the correct stroke order and how it looks like in calligraphy. Great app.+++
Stellar free app
This app is incredibly helpful for offline translation - I have a decent foundation in Chinese but weak vocabulary, and use this app to find the right phrase for chatting with my family when I visit China. Really helpful that it translates both ways, navigates smoothly, and looks good. Only recommendation would be to help identify the more commonly used phrases, as some of the listed translations are more archaic.
