I agree with what the people has said before, should have the option to change from Simplified Chinese to and from traditional Chinese. Another great usage that could be added would probably be the handwriting recognition. This is a great app. I'll definitely recommend to my foreign friends that are trying to learn Chinese, but please improve.
Fun and addictive, but...
I love using Nciku's website and I was hoping the app would be a direct reflection of that, but I can't do handwriting, stroke order or see the detailed descriptions of words with examples for some reason. Please update with these features.

The “daily Chinese” is my favorite learning feature of this app. It’s a spoken dialogue between two people talking about day to day and work situations. It has the mandarin, pinyin and translation as well. I’m so glad they recently changed the male speaker to someone who speaks a little slower, it makes it much easier to understand. Thanks!

After using Line for two weeks, I realized it is an amazing help when I am studying a lesson in simplified Mandarin Chinese: if I am not sure of what I heard or what I am reading, I can either use the microphone (with Chinese activated on my keyboard, of course) or hand-write the characters, and the app analyzes the sentence as it heard it or as you wrote it, then you tap “Analyze” and it gives you the pinyin AND the English translation. If I keep the phone a bit away from the sound source, it captures the sound a little better. I rarely have to do it more than once. Next step would be to try the app in a conversation with a Chinese Mandarin-speaking person. I bet it would work very well, as long as both speakers have a little patience to let the app analyze what is being said. It only takes a few seconds per sentence. The app accepts up to 500 characters at a time, which is a lot. This app is an astonishingly excellent tool, and I use it together with Pleco (Pleco gives me the stroke order of any word I need to study). A HUGE THANKS TO THE GIFTED DEVELOPER(S) OF THIS APP!
