About this app

I've been building Hanping Chinese Dictionary since 2009. I'm a solo developer, and I answer every email myself, usually within 24 hours.

Look up words by English, pinyin, Zhuyin, handwriting or voice. Everything works offline, with no ads.

★ Native-speaker audio for every syllable
★ 7,500+ example sentences with English translations
★ Stroke animations, character decompositions and radical lookup
★ HSK and YCT word lists, chengyu, phonetic groups and a tone soundboard
★ Document Reader: paste text or open a TXT, Word or EPUB file, then tap any word to look it up
★ Flashcards with spaced repetition, free for up to 10 new words a day
★ Starred words with tags, widgets, and free backup to your device or the cloud
★ Translate sentences with Google Translate, Microsoft Translator or DeepL

Optional add-ons: Image Reader (look up words in photos and screenshots; try it free on three of your own images), more Flashcards (up to 50 new words a day), AnkiDroid export, vocab import/export, ABC dictionaries, 8,200+ more stroke animations, and AI voices for example sentences in Mainland and Taiwan accents. Image Reader, Flashcards, vocab import/export and stroke animations are bought once for both Hanping apps.

Also on iPhone and iPad. Learning Cantonese? See Hanping Cantonese Dictionary.

it runs perfectly on my new phone. The document reader is very very useful to learn to read xingshu and caoshu (my system font, the same that uses this app). thanks Mark. I wish this last comment would be useful :)

Great to hear! Thank you for updating your review. Please don't forget, I'm always contactable by email. It's much easier and more effective to communicate through that medium. Kind regards, Mark [email protected]

Absolutely helpful, the recent history logging update really improves usability, even the rudimentary on-device translation helps with some very basic needs, fits all my expectation from this kind of app in learning chinese.

I paid for the pro version, but there is still so many basic words and phrases that are unavailable because they want me to purchase an even more expensive upgrade. Like I just want a simple translation of a beginner level phrase.. I just find myself using Google translate more and more often. If you are into in app purchases, pricey add-ons, and costly upgrades, then this app is for you... *Update: Now there is a ridiculous amount of content behind a pay-wall, even after paying for pro version.

I'm sorry you are still upset enough to lower your rating further, even though since your last review I made significant improvements to the Pro version. I do wish you would email me to discuss, but for some reason you choose not to. The Pro version comes with a 30-day refund policy. Kind regards, Mark [email protected]
