Pleco Chinese Dictionary Reviews

Wonderful

If you’ve ever used a find-a-character paper dictionary, you know how difficult that process can be. Pleco, which I utilize every day, makes looking up characters so much easier. I find the example sentences very useful. Since Pleco supports, for the most part, my reading of Chinese, I still appreciate having access to the audio files.

Incredible

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this app. Incredible, absolutely amazing, best purchase I’ve ever made in my language career. Learning Chinese can be very, very hard, sometimes so hard you want to give up, and this app has saved me so many times from that feeling. A must have for anyone learning Chinese, even casually.

The best

Dictionary for any language. The whole package of multiple dictionaries, integrated reader, flashcards, purchasable content like stories and news articles, and more. I wish they supported languages like German and Spanish, and had a larger selection of content to purchase! My Chinese wouldn't be where it is today without Pleco.

Outstanding

I use this app every day! It's the best dictionary ever! I especially like the document reader function. The ability for other apps to access the dictionary to look up words is great. Thank you!

The gold standard for Chinese dictionary apps

Great Chinese dictionary

I'm a fluent mandarin speaker and have lived in China. Of all the dictionaries that I've used, this is one of the best.

Best Chinese resource I've ever used by far

I've been using the free version of this app for around 8 years - it's been my go-to dictionary ever since I started studying Chinese and has done the job without fail for many years. I couldn't have survived college in Beijing without it! Now starting off as a translator, I finally gave in and purchased the pro pack, and immediately found that it was absolutely worth the money. Great additional features to an app that was already fantastic. I've recommended Pleco to all my classmates, and more recently to my own students!

Superb

Within the testing feature it would awesome to be able to select stroke order in “prompt for” and “show”. That way a mandarin learner could see the character being written as they hear it and are prompted to select the pronunciation and definition. That being said, I'm still finding features on this app that make it more and more convenient. For example, if you press and hold on a bookmark in your category view you can hear the pronunciation without opening the entry itself. It allows category as well as subcategories, and you can place an entry into multiple categories. I would recommend this to anyone learning mandarin, simply passing through a mandarin speaking country, and even native speakers who want a handy dictionary with highly personalized features.

A huge lifesaver

I don't know how I'd learn Chinese without this app. I am an American born Chinese speaker and having this app has saved me SO MUCH time from looking at old dictionaries. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Very highly recommended

Rarely write reviews. Been using for over 4 years. Spent money for add ons, and don't regret it. Learn, use, have fun with Chinese is all an option with Pleco.
