No customer support —Sticks on one setting and won’t edit or delete.

jozek46

I’ve struggled with this for hours. It gives Thai as my default setting, won’t allow me to access Chinese or Indonesian, which I also downloaded, and when I try to delete the Thai dictionary, which I don’t need , and which prevents me from using the others, I get the message “ You need at least one dictionary”. It just doesn’t work if you happen to download more than one language, and, again , there’s no customer or tech support , and no directions whatsoever online for fixing this mess.

No traditional

It’s a great app. Add a setting for traditional characters and I will change my rating.

3 stars

I’ve been using Nciku and LINE for a while, but on the app, I don’t see an option to draw the characters then search that up, unlike on the website. Add that and you’ll get 4 stars. If it’s already there, make it more accessible.

Essential in my Chinese studies but definitions not always correct

Cyn3

I use this app almost daily in my Mandarin Chinese studies and could not imagine studying without it. It seems to recognizes more words and idioms than Google translate does, and my favorite feature is the stroke-order animation. I also like the usage examples. And it’s free! My gripe, however, and reason I’m giving 4 stars, is that some definitions omit the most common uses of the words. For example, 张 (zhāng）is most commonly a measure word for flat objects, but Line Dictionary translates it only to “open; extend; exaggerate; look; open for business; lay...on.” So when I try to learn its meaning in a sentence like 这张床很柔软 (Zhè zhāng chuáng hěn róuruǎn), for example, which means “This bed is soft,” I wonder why the sentence seems to say, “This open bed very soft.” These omissions or incorrect definitions are so common that I essentially can’t trust the definitions. Worst, when I see these errors, there is no way to flag or suggest a definition. I want a feature where if I see a blatantly wrong error or omission I can report it or suggest a definition to the developer. As of now, I have no idea how to alert the developer (other than through this review) of these omissions. I understand the definitions come from Collins Chinese-English dictionary but are they updated? Is there a way to update them? This is a great app, but if you let users flag words and then have someone check them and update the definitions, it will be much better!

Great app but some stuff I dislike

My teacher uses this game and so do we! But sometimes when I have to search chinese words there aren’t even results when it actually is a chinese word. Overall I think this is great for learning! But would recommend having more words in searching.

One star but if zero was an option I would use it

keyshagriffin

It was the crappest most useless app I’ve ever seen.it doesn’t even have the drawing option!iv’e never seen a app as bad as this one and it’s a waste of my space

Thanks for making offline searching available. I would love to download the whole dictionary + definitions feature. Give the user a warning that it will take ##MB data storage before downloading. This option would be convenient! Thanks.
