The application is good. I can easily find the meanings of the words I need. The functions such as the ability to tag and bookmark words, handwriting recognition and radicals is perfect. What I like most is how accurate the translations are and how simple the dictionary is to use. Please make a version for Apple devices so others using iPads and iPhones can enjoy this application as well!

This app is just what I was looking for. I'm perfectly happy using the 注音符號 keyboard that's built in to Android, but what about the times when I don't know the pronunciation of the character? Simple: I use the Hanping Chinese Dictionary pad to draw the character and, voila, I have the character's pronunciation and definition. I also really appreciate that this app lets me work in the traditional characters, rather than the simplified Orwellian Newspeak characters.
