KTdict+ C-E app good for
Awesome dictionary with a great training flash card feature. I study 中文 a lot and have tried many aids. Gotta say, Im very happy with this trainer.
The flash card system help me see every stroke of the character and learn the pronunciation of the word. It has a vast library of words that it covers and I use this quite frequently to learn new words.
Keep up the great work!
Very useful app. A must-have for any Chinese language learner.
Hey, I am living in Beijing studying Chinese. The free version of this app helped me "find" characters at a speed much faster than checking the dictionary. It has really sped up my learning process by allowing me to find out the meaning of characters much more easily. Specially the ones that I dont know the pronunciation of, I can just write them on the phone and the find them in the dictionary. I guess you can say the same thing of all the other chinese dictionaries in the app store, but I have found this one to be the fastest and most responsive so far. I bought the paid app just to show my support. Good Luck. :)
I love this app. Ive learned tons of words with the flashcard trainer just by using it once a day. And the dictionary has had definitions of everything Ive thrown at it, including some helpful phrases. Get this.
Has this company made a Spanish English dictionary?
This app has enabled me to learn more Mandarin in the past two months than I had in the previous two years. Its so convenient to be able to add flashcards directly from the dictionary. And I *especially* appreciate that the flashcards include characters, not just the pinyin romanizations. It makes it much easier to keep homonyms separate, even if youre not trying to learn to read Chinese.
On the down side: the dictionary itself isnt wonderful. Its no worse than any other iPhone dictionary, but I wish the definitions had a little more to them. Theres frequently more than one Mandarin result for the same English word or phrase, with no explanation as to which translation is better in what circumstance. But thats a common issue with most of the online dictionaries Ive tried.
One feature I would love to see is audio. I think that every little bit helps when youre trying to learn a language--if you can use your ears as well as your eyes it goes into your brain that much more effectively.
Bottom line: this is the least expensive iPhone Chinese app Ive tried, and in my opinion it is also the best. Thanks Klaus!
Some bad moments
I used this app on the iPhone and it works great. However it does not work at all on the iPad. It keeps crashing. I emailed customer support and they said it is due to the latest upgrade iOS. However it has been over a month and I still cant use the app.
------------------------------------
The app is fantastic and extremely helpful for learning Chinese. I use this app everyday (since I am currently in china.) however, my 1 complaint is that there should be a way to just search in pinyin or just in English. Sometimes when looking for words theres just a huge list that takes a while to go through. Otherwise, this app is great.
Hi,
Please fix the crash on iOS 9. Have a lot flash cards made with your app. I am a paid user and would like to still use the app.
Please give support. I am an iOS developer, and I will help you in anyways I can. Please let me know.
I will submit another 5 star review if the iOS 9 issue is fixed.
App totally useless
Keep crashing with new OS
They were Very quick to get the money (Apple included) , now they simply dont care to fix the issues
DONT GET THIS APP
