This app shows how common or rare words are and also handwritten characters. This is a great tool. Also has many grammar lessons and important background info.

Bought it for the lessons and dictionary. But I think the games section is currently broken. Can't seem to go to "Strokes" or "write the story" or any part of the game outside of the reading comprehension game. I think there's a bug as it keeps blanking when I try to access other games. Please fix it. But the lessons and dictionary work alright.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! These games you mentioned are available on Chinesimple HSK apps, but not on Dictionary App. Do you find any bug that let the app open these games? Please give us the details: nihao@chinesimple.com 🙏🏻

In my opinion this is one of the best Chinese English dictionaries. It has lessons, sentences, HSK indexing, and has tons of terms from the most common to the least common. I will say idioms with longer entries seem to crash the app but this is a recent error and I must say for 3 years of using this app it has been a very helpful one
