Huaying (Chinese English Dictionary)

Thanks for the author for his tremendous work! The dictionary is easy to use, and very informal.

Search by English, pinyin, or HanZi. They all will give you results. I would give it 5 stars except not all the words have one particular feature, which I value a lot. Many of the words have a brush-sroke animation and practice panel —but some do not. I believe some of the less-frequent characters are the culprits missing this additional feature. So, because of this, only 4 stars.

I gave many Chinese English and vice versa apps but Huaying is my go to and my favorite. 5星级！ 赞！

Learning Chinese right now and this app is a must have! Very simple and intuitive to use. 99% of the time it does the job. High points to the developers. Recommendations: although font is really cool, it is sometimes confusing because it does not follow exactly the orig brushstroke concepts. Not a great loss. Would love to see truer meanings of individual characters- many times resorts to "surname" as meaning if it is part of a string of characters. Would love to get more history and origins of words but maybe too much to ask for a free app? Again, "thank you" to the developers.

I've just returned from a two-week business and sightseeing trip to China. I know some Mandarin, so for after work chit-chatting or just getting around, Huaying proved itself essential--and accurate-- throughout my stay. Better still, my Chinese colleagues quickly started using Huaying on my device to find just the right way to express themselves in English! This is a most superb app.
