The overall application was awesome and even better than other competitives; however, the reason I gave 4 stars only was the annoying typing delay/lag! Please fix it!
Can’t be used due to blocking by ad
I downloaded this app about a decade ago and it was basically the only reason why I survived Cantonese classes in Hong Kong. The classes I took were for non-Chinese students, but they were still really difficult, especially for someone who had zero knowledge in Cantonese. And the school I went to actually placed me in a class where the students had already taken at least 3 years of Cantonese classes because I went to Hong Kong halfway through high school. I’m happy to see how much this app has improved since then and hope the developer keeps up the great work. And thank you for helping me survive high school. :)
This app doesn’t work.
This app is defective since the update to include ads. Developer is making no attempt to fix the problem. Too bad since it was one of my favorite Chinese apps.
It used to be good, now I can’t even try to write a Chinese word to translate
輸入了字,但是無按鈕去執行行動.按鈕可能是因為俾廣告遮住咗!
I needed to use this to translate for my job for patients and it was extremely helpful because I couldn’t remember certain vocabulary words. I hated the ads but paid a fair price to get rid of it. I think there should be some updates where there are vocabulary for different occupations like the medical field. I worry that I am not using the correct term when I explain stuff so if there could be these changes, it would help a lot! :)
but it’d be nice if you had the option between pinying and jyutping, instead of the random mix that the app currently has. Also it’d be nice if you could search words based on their jyutping/pinying.
Before the app updated, it was my favorite dictionary app! The definitions are accurate and had nice formatting. But now, with the new version of the app, I can’t open the app at all! It just loads for two seconds and then crashes completely. It doesn’t even show up on my running apps page, it just closes itself seconds after I click to open the app.
if u are canto but don’t know certain words this is helpful. Also, the curse words are just beautiful and with many examples too! I’m impressed. when I showed this to my mom she didn’t approve but also approved when she started cracking up 😎
I’ve been trying to find a good cantonese dictionary and this is great! Cantonese is definitely a niche language to learn but millions speak it and its something we need to preserve!
The Cantonese no longer works or is very limited. It’s just Mandarin but with a different voice.
I have no complaints about the dictionary itself, other than the fact that there aren’t full sentences, but the main drawback is the extremely outdated, frustrating interface. The worst part is the lag. I think this is done on purpose because there is always and extremely annoying ad banner up top that does not show up immediately. When you go to press the first word on something you have looked up, everything will instantly shift downward, and the ad will sneakily pop up, forcing you to press that instead. Also, in order to go to a previous screen, instead of being able to swipe right like on most apps, you have to press the back button. Bookmarks are also frustrating because they don’t list the ping yum, so if you forgot how to pronounce certain characters, you’ll have to click on each one to find out.
It definitely works. Thanks for making this app! iPhone 8 with iOS 13.3
please fix some of the audio sometimes it sounds static
Wish it translated whole sentences. Currently only translates one word at a time. Cantonese accent sounds accurate. Also, sometimes the Cantonese audio will not work, but the English and mandarin audio does.
Stuck on the loading screen
It is pretty good as a Cantonese learning tool, but do not rely on the recorded Mandarin pronunciations if you are seeking to speak Standard Mandarin, or desirous of comparing accurate pronunciations of both languages 🎯 你們需要我幫忙正對發音嗎❓ Mahalo nui loa🤙🏻 Your Servant, Your Trusted Friend, Rishidas Lomaśa Ṛṣi dasa, L.Ac.

Useful in searching words I don’t know. Love the audio function. Wish I was able to translate sentences though.
I like this app. At first I thought it was like you type it in from English to Cantonese but like they say “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” When I mean that, you just only type in a word, not a whole sentence. Overall it’s really great for someone who wants to learn the Cantonese the language or who is a tourist.
It was a perfect app a day ago then The audio suddenly not working. I reinstalled the app and it can’t open anymore.
I’m a native speaker of Cantonese and I’m using this app to teach my daughter who was born in the US and doesn’t speak much Chinese. The experience has been great.
Good app
Missed lots of words and articulation Need updated
Sometimes I need only one word but it won't allow copying. Copy and paste in a notebook for easy reference. Some words have variations. App lacks that. E.g. "No". Only one they used was not common for everyday use.
This application does not work any more.
One of the best cantonese apps I could find. I grew up speaking cantonese, but as i got older I lost a lot of my ability to understand it. Some the pronounciation could use work. One suggestion is the measure words. I've always had a hard time learning the measure words that go along with nouns, so it would be very useful if they were included in the detailed page.
Stopped working
This app stopped working about a month or two ago. I write to their contact email and got no response. Today I decided to try deleting it and then reinstalling it. Now it works again.
Very accurate translation, especially for profanity.
After the last update. It's a shame. It was a really good, rare Cantonese dictionary until the update broke it.
I'm a Chinese mandarin native and English as a second language. I'm using the iPad app to learn Cantonese since I like Cantonese songs so much. iPad has a large screen, so actually more stuff can be put together to enhance the efficiency. 1. I hope when I input something in the search bar, for each item shown below there are a horn icon and a star icon on the right side so that I can hear the pronunciation and add the correct item in the favorite list immediately without entering into the detailed page. 2. I the favorite list view, I hope the Cantonese pinyin and the horn icon is shown as well so that I can immediately pronounce and hear the sound without entering into the detailed page. 3. I hope I can sort the favorite list by Cantonese vowels or date added, etc.
Great app, but the audio function (to listen to the Cantonese pronunciation) stopped working.
This is a must have app for anyone who wants to read, pronounce, and understand Cantonese. I grew up in the United States and can speak Cantonese but only read basic Cantonese. I use this app to help me read and speak Cantonese.
Completely non-functional on iOS 10/iPhone 7.
I'm using this app mainly so I can argue back to my mom when I can't convey myself. Plus, it's funnier when I have the phone call her crazy.
Search offline with audio support
Not fully compatible on an iPhone 3gs running iOS 6.1.6 or later.
I have no words except to say that you must MUST get this app!!!
Can't even open.
Now I can translate medical terms
I downloaded this to translate "decaffeinated coffee". It can't even do that! Useless app.
I have been studying Cantonese for many years and this is the best Cantonese English dictionary that I've ever used. It is even better than anything that you can find on the computer. It can even give the definition of compound Cantonese words (words with more than one Chinese character) and even gives the cantonese word for western cities like Dayton or Indianapolis (something usually impossible to get!)
Used this app to help me translate some basic medical terms when my father was going through cancer treatment. My Chinese basically is limited to ordering chinese food and there are few cantonese speaking around where we live. Thank you to developer for including common medical words.
Best cantonese dictionary I've seen in the AppStore.
Best translation app so far. Love that it has audio pronunciation for cantonese. It covers everything u need to know from simplified, traditional, pinyin etc.
This is a great app. It can tell you the meaning, and accurately pronounces the words in both Cantonese and mandarin. There are not many Cantonese apps like this. What a great app. It is slow and has too many ads.
