I'd give this zero stars. The app used to be great. I could draw a Chinese character, search, and it gave the English meaning of the Chinese character, show the pinyin, and give examples. None of that happens now. I draw a Chinese character, click search, and it goes to an English-Chinese dictionary page that has nothing to do with the character I searched. It only works if you're going from English to Chinese. Not for Chinese character recognition. I'm deleting the app.

hey i love using this app as new learner . first let me tell you about this app lovely functions. hand writing option for chinese stroke, characters. even it gives you words to choose at bottom which one you trying to type. it has very helpful function which shows chinese strokes drawing in order . it has pinyin and english translation . please ,please add english sentences translation too . Currently app only translate words from chinese to English not sentences . thank you . rated 5 stars ...

Lots of errors and misinterpretations. But sometimes it gets the job done. Only problem is it's hard to get the app to do what it's supposed to, and it disconnects from internet super easily. Overall it's a crappy app that needs some stability added to it.

near perfect for your needs in practice. Even with bad handwriting it does a great job of finding similar looking words. I would love this exact app for every language because picture translators only work 60% of the time. This covers the other 40%

This is not a bad app but it would be better if you could do a similar thing but using the chinese worksheet for us to practice writing any characters we like from left to right. I would like to show you the template if possible. I think most of us would value this as it would help us to save printing these worksheets. Thanks

Really cool. I use it with Duolingo when I can't recognize a word symbol. It works most of the time, but sometimes I have to redraw a symbol many times before the proper choice will appear. The last one I attempted to draw, I had to give up on.

I love this app. It helps me draw and then look up the meaning for many Chinese characters. perfect app and so easy to use

This app used to be 6/5 star, now it is 0/5 star. Whether typing English or Chinese or drawing Chinese characters, it translates immediately. Now it goes to a English-Chinese dictionary where you have to type again.
