1. Privacy is a concern though; Pleco reads from the clipboard after every copy of something outside of the app even when clipboard reading is off (the default) / the clipboard read length setting is also broken; it can't be set to "Never" / the clipboard dashboard button seems to do nothing / this app can apparently cast one's screen / and dictionaries are downloaded from an unknown source.Firstly, I went into settings to change to dark them not noticing the icon on top left and found an amazing level of customization, also noticed the color codes 👌, then to see all the context from typing in a word of phrase to translate is mind blowing and so far no adds.
2. Pleco support, can you guys make an option for the clip reader function to show pinyin above the text for the characters or show the tone colors of a character? I find that a lot of times when I am reading, I know the word but I often forget which tone it is, so showing the colors would be extremely useful for me! Thank you for all you guys do!!Great as a dictionary once you've installed the extra free dictionaries as well as for handwriting practice.
3. The free version is optimized for searching Chinese-to-English definitions, not so great if you need to find the best Chinese translation of an English word, but you can fix that with a reasonably-priced paid English-to-Chinese dictionary add-on.
4. Please also add a quick link jump from theMandarin/Chinese characters from the dictionary! Keep up the amazing work Pleco team! I am hopeful for continued revenue for the Pleco devs & team! =] [UPDATED REVIEW 2/25/23 ]This is one of the best-designed, most smoothly-performing apps of any kind that I've ever used.
5. After you use it for a while and if you find that you like it, I recommend springing for the Basic Bundle, which gives you stroke order for all characters, not just some, plus better pronunciation audios, plus the optical character reader, and a lot more.Absolutely amazing app! Even without the paid features it is amazing.
6. A fast and amazingly powerful Chinese dictionary app that lets you search and browse words and characters in every way you could imagine.
7. This app figures out what character you're probably trying to draw! Very easy to navigate and there is amazing detail on how each character is used with other characters.
8. Just needs multiple speed options for displaying even slower strokes (writing) for the Chinese character than what is currently available.
9. Truly thank you to all the developers and everyone that contributes to it!***This review contains a suggestion!! ***This is the most essential app for anyone studying Chinese, and has saved my life may times while abroad.
10. The problem: When attempting to speak into the app, it often correctly displays the spoken words, but if it picks up any noise whatsoever it will refuse to search the word until it no longer pick up any noise.
11. It is hands down the best chinese to english dictionary app.
