Just what I needed

I'm learning chinese, and when encountering new characters it's hard to look them up, particularly as many handwriting recognition apps require you to know the stroke order (no matter how beautifully drawn). My only small issues were that when attempting to go one level down and specify what form the radical takes in the character (eg. as in 快 or as in 息, or at least that's what I thought I was doing)， it gave me an error. Also pressing the back button doesn't always appear to take you back to the previous levels, so I exited out of the app numerous times. But definitely worth having. Ideally it should be bolted on to a full dictionary, but then you can't have everything for free!

Easy to use, great for learners

Great app - well designed interface - and doesn't fill your storage space!

Problems with Traditional Characters

I know this app also support Traditional but I can't even search a traditional character to find a character. I HAVE to write it in Simplified so I can find a specific character. That's not very productive for me. I do give credit for redicals because I use it to find a word I don't know but this app has to fully support TRADITIONAL

I'm preparing for hsk level 6 and xiaoma has been a wonderful resource. the character combination lists, while not comprehensive, do provide ample combinations. the inclusion of traditional counterparts is i huge plus. now if it only had an option for comprehensive word lists and a traditional character search function I'd pay good money for it. ;) hint for future updates. there are a lot of foreigners learning chinese in areas using traditional.
