We've been making Chinese dictionary apps since 2000, and our sales and customer base have been steadily growing for 17 years across four different platforms. We take good care of our longtime users: people who bought a dictionary on a Palm Pilot in 2001 can still use that dictionary on a new Android phone in 2020 without even paying an upgrade fee.
Paid add-ons can be moved to a new device like any other paid app; just open our free app on your new device and they should reactivate.
If you already own Pleco on another OS, see pleco.com/android for migration options.
This app uses Accessibility services. (for our Screen Reader feature, which helps users to get by in Chinese-speaking regions without knowing Chinese)

I don't write a ton of reviews but I just had to for this one. This is quite possibly one of the best-designed and useful apps ever and life-changing. If they had the equivalent for other languages they'd drive Duolingo right out of business. This is invaluable as a learning tool, with graded readers fully integrated with dictionaries, as well as example phrases they've somehow extracted from those dictionaries, including the Outlier dictionary. Just FYI, many add-ons are absolutely worth it.
Best app for Chinese learning. Every learner needs this app. It breaks down words to the individual characters, and the characters into the individual radicals. This makes it so much easier to remember new words and characters. I also like the smorgasbord of other features, like the fact they sell you graded readers through the app, and have a flashcard system. I like it has bopomofo in addition to pinyin. My only wish is there was also a desktop version I could use when I'm not on my phone.
Best Chinese dictionary I've found for people learning Chinese! There is a feature that costs 10 dollars that gives you a flashcard function that is highly customizable and, with a bit of tech know how it's the best way I've found to learn new characters. I'm a student learning Chinese, and it's some of the best 10 dollars I've ever spent, so much better and more streamlined than quizlet.
