Really nice, but this app got a competitor
Nice, but this app got an excellent competitor: Pleco Chinese Dictionary.
Until some time ago eStroke was my favorite among the E-C dictionaries. Extremely helpful for learners like me. Esp. all features which help to find characters, like stroke order, radicals etc. are included in a clever system.
What I miss are several features as used in Pleco app, eg:
- more dictionaries, which can be used parallel
- excellent wildcard search
- switching easily between traditional and simplified Hanzi by pressing a button any time one wants
- in pleco all characters and words even of a pretty long Chinese compound word are shown in a list with all translations, in eStroke one has to search for each character by itself. :(
For exercising how to write eStroke is still my preferred app. it also uses more colors.
I hope that the masters of eStroke will improve this app soon and add some additional features. Otherwise the price of over 5 EUR IMHO is no longer justified.
