    App function is great, but all camera functions instantly crash the app
  • Best app ever for Chinese/ Mandarin help

    I’m a student and I’ve been struggling trying to learn Chinese while studying other classes. Quite honestly the best app I’ve ever used and it does crash but barely and it found every character I needed to find. I will be buying the unlimited and I believe you should too. The one time fee is definitely worth and helping the developers for their great work.
  • App currently crashes when opened to camera :(

    Hope the devs see this, but the app crashes on my phone as soon as it launches and begins trying to process characters. If I cover the camera and switch to another mode, then it turns out ok, but since I got this app specifically for the camera mode this is a bit of a dealbreaker. Not sure if it’s just my device but hope it gets resolved soon! Otherwise great app. Edit: The developers have been extremely helpful in trying to track down the issues, best experience I’ve ever had with an app dev. Updating the rating as they find the problem, and in the meantime still good to use the image upload vs live camera recognition!
  • Awesome except for one thing

    My only complaint is that the text analyzer glitches once you go past a certain number of lines/characters. Same problem with Yomiwa. Please fix, otherwise great!
  • Nice, but...

    Hanyou really helps me increase my vocab in Chinese. Not only I learn the meaning of new words, but I get the pronunciation too. Flash cards are useful too
  • Nothing special

    I never did too much on it, it does not offer much. Download ChineseSkill instead if you want to learn Chinese.
  • Ok

    I suggest the app Can include some synonyms in Chinese and more details about the definition. Other wise great!
  • Not worth the money at all. Don’t buy

    You can get all of the features of this app in other apps that won’t cost you. A review from two years ago complains about how the translator won’t accurately translate sentences, and the developers even responded and said they were going to get it fixed. It’s been two years and the translator still does not work. Pleco is a much better dictionary and just about every function of this app has a better, free counterpart. Even the camera translator that is its supposed claim to fame is worse than Wechat’s camera translator. Final thought: don’t waste your money like I did on this mediocre app.
