KTdict Chinese Dictionary

I’ve been using this dictionary for years. As a native English speaker studying Chinese, I find it straightforward, easy-to-use, and reliable. I know it has other features as well (e.g. saving flash cards for memorization practice, which I used for awhile and found helpful), but most of the time I stick with its basic dictionary function. I will use other dictionaries for example sentences, Chinese-language definitions, or more in-depth character history, but this one is still a very good first-stop resource for a quick, accurate English translation of a word or character.

I have been using the app for years. I love the flashcards, daily sets, and the ability to search and study without the internet. Just a great app. As we all know sometimes when you update your Apple device things go a little screwy, well this happened twice to me and reset several apps including KTDict. No advanced features 0-: I contacted the developers and both time I received immediate responses and resolutions without having to purchase the upgrades again (and again). If you are planning on learning Chinese get the app and buy the upgrade….. and then use it, it really helps

This app helped me prepare a short speech at a wedding lunch for my wife’s family. It also helps me to learn how to translate and pronounce words I encounter while walking around Hong Kong. It’s like having a native speaker with me at all times! I hope they soon include the option to give Jyutping pronunciation (and/or Yale Romanization) for Cantonese learners. So far, the Hong Kong voice setting has allowed me to learn the pronunciation of different characters, but having Jyutping would be a great addition

I’ve tried a variety of Chinese translation apps, none of them are as easy to use and comprehensive as this across various platforms.

This is an excellent mac app! It's perfect for learning Chinese as a second language.

This app is regularly updated, but perhaps that is the problem? It works great on my tablet, but on the iphone you type in pinyin and choose characters and then want to zoom in and see each character or show someone even older than me full screen and the app glitches. Go back to KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid, because now I hesitate to pull the phone out knowing it wont do what it once did.

I was helping my Swedish students find a trustable Chinese dictionary app, your service worked fine until one of my student found her country's name 瑞典 is pronounced wrong. I hope you can fix the bug.

I use Pleco on mobile devices and find this an excellent macOS program with many uses for Chinese learning and reference. The two programs work somewhat differently, with different strengths and applications. Together or separately, they provide great Chinese learning and reference tools. I highly recommend this program.

I bought this app on the app store years ago, and now they want me to watch ads and pay for it again. I don’t know if this app’s free now, but I paid for it once, and I won’t buy it again. I’m just going to uninstall. It’s worthless now.

I had been using KTdict-CE app for many years. However when I updated the App recently I found that it now only provide translations in simplified Chinese characters instead of the usual Traditional Chinese, can there be a choice that users can set their preferences? Thanks
