Chinese Vocab Builder (v. 1.4) Разработано Timmy Douglas |
Study Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters in a flashcard style format. This version takes words from the HSK lists (PRC's standard proficiency test) and uses the definitions from CC-CEDICT.
Randomly select words or use the word list to jump to a specific word. Optionally change what is displayed on each side of the virtual flash card.
If there is enough interest, I will add additional word lists.

[2013-05-08] A Google User: Where is menu? Cannot access menu on Xperia Go |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: App doesn't work Databases don't load |

[2013-04-30] A Google User: Almost perfect Simple. Functional. This is a great way to review your Chinese on the go. It has plenty of options for customizing it for use with simplified or traditional characters. And the stark presentation of thick white characters on a plain black background make it ideal for use in a bright environment, so you can use it to practise your Chinese word recognition while you're out walking or on the bus. If I have one criticism, it's that the font size for the definitions is microscopic. If you are using it as you move about, it's virtually unreadable. Other than that, I love it. |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: Okay. Does what it says. I'm finding that an app with texts to read gives more context to the words. |
|
[2012-12-07] A Google User: Pretty useful A good flash card app to help build my vocab, but some words are wrong. Foe example the character for drink was defined as shout and the character for big was defined as doctor. Still, overall a good useful app. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Pinyin inaccurate Some words have incorrect pinyin. I uninstalled when i saw pinyin with a 5th intonation (there are only 4) |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Wrong definitions? Homynims, they often choose the obscure definition instead of the useful one. |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: Simple but very convenient and useful Well made and highly useful. Easy to choose the difficulty level and information you want on front and back. Why you have a fifth tone, Mandarin only has 4. If you show the tone line instead of writing the tone number I'll give the fifth star. And who is Josephine? |

[2012-06-29] A Google User: ganz ok nichts spezielles, läuft aber (HTC Desire Z) |
|
[2012-04-19] A Google User: Just ok Better apps out there |
|
[2012-02-01] A Google User: Simple yet effective! Great app for daily commute. One suggestion is to relocate all the user buttons to the bottom of the screen to reduce finger/thumb fatique :) |
|
[2012-01-21] A Google User: Good app, too simplistic Works well, but just allows you to browse the list of words in a very simple black&white UI. You definitely can find better |
|
[2012-01-03] A Google User: Great app but... Works really well, simple interface, highly recommended for beginners. Couple of major issues for others though: 1) Each HSK level should be completely separated, I spend too long looking at words I know. Please please fix this or add an option to remove words from lists. 2) Some pronunciations and definitions are wrongly chosen from the dictionary. Thanks for putting this together! |
|
[2011-09-08] A Google User: Great! Suggestions: keep score/exam mode; font choice; colours; include common compounds with word definitions. Some translations need to be fixed. |
|
[2011-08-23] A Google User: Great concept and execution Simple concept but executed well. I enjoy the really large vocabulary and word lists. Meanings can be confusing if you have never seen the word before |
|
[2011-07-26] A Google User: Just what I was looking for Great. Note though: meanings are a little off on really basic words but it's just a small side-effect of automation. I'll take the extra vocab any day |
|
[2011-07-13] A Google User: Really love this app!! > < |
|
[2011-06-17] A Google User: hsk 4 this month, this is my favourite app atm~ |
|
[2011-06-17] Dom: hsk 4 this month, this is my favourite app atm~ |
|
[2011-06-11] A Google User: This is the exact app I was looking for. Some of the characters are technically correct, but probably not the intended definition: 好,大,呢,会 are wrong. |

[2011-05-31] A Google User: Thanks! This app is great. The only thing I would suggest is the ability to flip from viewing the Chinese character (and pinyin) then tapping to view the English translation to the other way around: i.e. view English definition, then tap to view the Chinese. If the app had both modalities it would help with studying |

[2011-04-22] JAMES: Great app for quick revision, 5* as soon as Hsk 6 wordlist added :) |
|
[2011-03-23] A Google User: Great app!! Having both the traditional and simplified characters available to study is a big plus. |
|
[2011-03-23] Josephine: Great app!! Having both the traditional and simplified characters available to study is a big plus. |

[2011-03-22] A Google User: It doesnt speak the words to hear the correct pronunciation. |
