What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Horrible app. I paid for the pro feature so i can use the camera to detect chinese character. But it is so horrible, cannot detect even simple word like ĺ°ĺż. Please stay away from this horrible app."
Ke San Yam
"Fix this! V2.9 on Android 8 is crashing when tapping on download sentence database or databases section on the left menu. While it works well with 2.8 Therefore 2.9 is unusable Also, Jyutping pronunciation is written incorrectly in 2.9. while it is fine in 2.8. Maybe not for all characters but é˘ is a good example"
Igor Shtan
"Pro verision seriously"

"Very difficult menus. No OCR detection as mentioned in description. Worst experience."
Osman Khalid
"the best"
Chloe Landed
"Camera recognition is not free"
Maciek M
"The function I find most useful on the "HanYou" app is the "Analyse" one. Simply copy and paste a text, press "Analyse" and the Pinyin will appear above the text, plus you can highlight the word and a detailed list of definitions will appear. It will also highlight the HSK level of some words. But the best part of this function is the app can compile the words from the text into flashcards, perfect for pronunciation drilling. My only criticism is the audio doesn't sound totally natural."
