Don't work! :-(. I try it. When I try to click the next page don't work. This app only show on one page only. Waste time! :-(

Very upset with recent update.. When I first downloaded the lite version, I was very happy with the pronunciation, so I immediately purchased the full app. I have two problems with the most recent update. The first issue is that the original voice got replaced. I don't mind that the woman's voice is now a man's voice. I'm just very upset that now the pronunciation is totally off. Cantonese is my first language, so I would know. I bought this app to brush up my reading ability. My second complaint is that after updating the app, my full version is now back to a lite version. Maybe I should have purchased the full version through the AppStore instead of through the lite version. There should be a warning letting people know not to update the full version if it's purchased through the lite version. Is there a way to uninstall the update? Update: After over two months of not using the app because I was furious with the issues that the last update has, I decided to give the app another try. Now I'm ever madder than before because I just noticed that some traditional characters are now simplified! Please put out a new update to fix all these problems! As for now, lite and full version 2.3 are not worth downloading. Until the tones and pronunciation are corrected, this app won't teach people to speak Cantonese accurately.

Great review app. This is a great app for review.

Grrrrrr!!!!!. I liked this before update. Doesn't work now. New words don't show in wordbank, but old words are intact. Can't get rid of the annoying red "1" showing over app thumbnail. Crashes every time I open the app.

Not Cantonese. Not Cantonese vocabulary, just Standard Chinese words (Mandarin) with Cantonese readings. 係官語、唔係廣東話。

Wow Cantonese is HARD!. So I was interested in learning some cantonese... and boy is it hard! One of the hardest parts is the tones, and trust me when I say there are enough to make your tongue sore. Having this application to help me sort out the tones, has been invaluable. Though for me this is just for personal use and amusement, I am sure this application would of great value to even students of Cantonese. If anything this application will get you comfortable with the tones! A Must get in my personal opinion!

Not real Cantonese. The vocabulary in this app are not spoken Cantonese, they are written Cantonese. If you want to learn how to SPEAK Cantonese, the vocabulary in this app will only confuse you and make you sound funny. The developers obviously just took their Mandarin app and inserted the Cantonese pronunciations. If you are a true language learner, stay away from this app.

Great app. Great

its great. Even though I am learning mandarin I want Cantonese to be my next language after mandarin so this is a great app to learn a few words from.

Wasters. Enraged about having my time wasted. I opened it and started on the 100 free words. Immediately I see the word for delicious is something you'd never ever say. Other stuff is wrong too. Why would a BEGINNER want to learn to read book Chinese (basically mandarin) before learning basic communications words? I sent screenshot to my Canadian friend who speaks natively and he agreed.

Not bad. Improved since my first review.

Definitely worth it!. Great product. Gives you the opportunity to learn a large amount of vocabulary and even shows you sentences in which the word of the day is applied.

Reading Chinese Words in Cantonese. Not native Cantonese words. Good if you wish to say Chinese words in Cantonese.

Useful, but a bit sloppy.. I am trying, at age 70, to learn Cantonese. This app provides me a usable flash card system which is not easy to find. It is not perfect, but still invaluable!

Simplified. The only thing about this application is that the written Cantonese words are simplified Chinese. That is a big problem for me as when I want to learn cantonese for use in hong kong, Cantonese are written in traditional Chinese, not simplified. Now I have restraints from learning the words in fear of mixing it up in the traditional use. I hope there will be a change from the simplified Chinese to traditional Chinese in the next update.

Great app. The latest update is awesome!! Sentence examples, photos and a voice recorder. Some words are not casual cantonese hence not commonly used, but overall I think this is helping add to my cantonese vocab and greatly helping me learn characters.

Wonderful app!!!!. Worth the money!!! In this day and age, there's no excuse not to learn anything you want (internet, smartphones, and other technology). Thanks to this app, I can effectively learn Cantonese wherever and whenever I want. Thank you!!!!

The Best. One of The best cantonese learning software.

Not bad. The app is very helpful and I especially enjoy its informative sections on Cantonese culture. The inclusion of pictures to certain phrases would be appreciated. 多謝 👈 I still need ALOT of practice though...

Only supports jyutping. Surprisingly does not use Yale the popular romanization for Canto, thus will be far too confusing for many users.

Native Speaker? Got to be Kidding. I'm a native Cantonese speaker. I was looking for an app that I can use with my children. The female speaker is fine and sound like a native speaker. But the male speaker is speaks with a "foreign" accent. By foreign, I mean he sounded like either he is a native Mandarin speaker and not Cantonese (huge difference) or he must be an American born Chinese who learned to listen Cantonese from his family but rarely ever spoke it growing up. My advise is if you want to use this app, ignore all the words that uses the male voice. Unfortunately, each word/phrase is pronounced only by one speaker and not both. So, you won't get their full vocabulary list.

pure garbage. I am getting two people talking, not a picture not a written word. Maybe this is their idea of how to sell me something. Give me nothing. I have better chinese on my walkman. In this day and age? total garbage do not waste your time.

New language. Easy to use app, makes learning a new language enjoyable.

Specifically for cantonese101. I believe this app is made by the website Cantonese 101. Their lessons -- especially the dialogue podcasts are wonderful! I've learned so much! Their advertising, however, is abysmal. I probably receive at least 1 or 2 emails everyday practically begging for me to be more involved / make more purchases on their website. The wording actually really makes me feel uncomfortable -- subscribe and you'll see what I mean.

So this is Cantonese?. Ok I have to admit I have not studied Cantonese ever, and I only got this because it was on the app list... but it seems good! I willupdate this review once I get a little more run time with this.

Just got it. Just got it today, we will see how is it

Student. Great way to learn sounds of the words

Love ti. Good approach to learning Cantonese from scratch

Ok. It is helping my vocab... Slowly. It would be great if the app would also pronounciate the sentences - the romanisation or sentences looks quite a bit off.... I can't make head nor tail of most of the sentences, and I've studied canto for years.

Works well. Good.

New ver quite stable. Functionality and screen layout much improved than old versions. words now in logical categories and word type is shown (noun, verb).

Ok. No just don't get This or full nothing to do no stars

App. The app is outstanding, I have learnt quite a bit. In the future, could you make an app that can teach you Chinese Mandarin, that would be great!

It's good to learn the vocab. Easy to use. This is good to learn vocabulary, one word a day. Apparently, the example sentences to use the vocabulary uses very formal/old fashion Cantonese. I am told that you would not use it casually. Either way, it is excellent with helping me with pronunciation with the audio available.

Innovative is right!. Very "user-friendly" . The vocabulary is pertinent to daily use and relatively easy to understand. Great app!

I upgraded and now it doesn. Such a shame. This app is terrible do not take it on...... now mine doesn't work at all and I just cancelled it again after I had built up a great word bank.... it just stopped woking no more new words although it would indicate every morning that a new word was waiting but that was not the case. It's a terrible shame because the concept is good but the application just doesn't follow through..... there is no way I would upgrade to the full version after I have had so much trouble with this one...

Translate. Good to learn with

Non-colloquial. This is my updated review. I have the full paid up version. The company fixed some major flaws with version 3.2, such as replacing the muffled speaker with a thick Mandarin accent with a clear Cantonese speaker; adding a complete set of phrases and pictures; and correction most of the pronunciation mistakes. I commend the company for making these improvements on what used to be a mediocre product. Some small gripes include a lack of stability in iOS; the use of Cantonese pinyin instead of Yale romanization; it would benefit by having the option of multiple word banks; I would like to see a larger database of words for food and drink; and the lack of synonyms when there are more than one word for an item (eg. mother, garlic, 21). My major gripe is the use of literal rather than colloquial words; it's a significant enough limitation that would prevent me from giving it more than 3 stars. Hong Kongers just don't use the vocabulary that make up several hundred of the words in this version. It's a stilted vocabulary that is academically correct when written but is never used in daily dialog. It's frustrating that this course isn't trustworthy enough to use without a dictionary to find out which is which. If they can address the latter issue, I would be happy to give my full recommendation this course.

Meh. They bait you with the promise of free knowledge. But you quickly realize that it's just an empty shell redirecting you to other ressources on other app.

Not very effective. This has limited word selection, as there's only one word a day. On one day, it had "skype" as a feature word. From English to Cantonese, it was exactly the same, so what's the point? I'd recommend a different app like lingopal instead

Horrid pronunciation. This app fails at its most basic task. The speaker cannot even pronounce a single Cantonese word correctly!! I am not sure if there is even a real person speaking since the diction is so stilted and unnatural...At least I didn't have to pay for this piece of junk so I can use it for entertainment.

HooLa. It is fun and easy to use. Very helpful.

Slightly better than the last version. Looks like some of the pronunciation has been fixed. The male voices are still either muffled or off, but the main female voice is spot on with all the pronounciations. If the next version uses her voice for all the words then I will give a five star rating

Very poor pronunciation. I want my money back. I downloaded the free wordpower lite hoping this will help him to learn Cantonese but accidentally upgraded it to a full version. That is fine but the pronunciation in this app is terrible. It either pronounces the words totally wrong or it sounds like that it is spoken by a person who has problem with his pronunciation. I certainly don't want my son to learn cantonese from this. No body does. When I went in the app store to find this app cantonese wordpowerlite to put in a complaint and request for refund I found the app Cantonese wordpower which I believed it is the full version of Cantonese wordpowerlite. So I clicked on it and navigate to find the page to in my complaint. It asked me to get a copy before I can put in a comments. I thought I have already downloaded this I might just re-download it again. Afterward I found out they are two different app while the contents are exactly the same. Now I not only have to request one refund but two.

Limited. OK but limited. It's only day 3 for me but already one word had an incorrect tone indicator.

Problem. I downloaded lite ver. and it will constantly freeze while update. The update would restart in the middle, and i cannot even delete the program during update process. This is very frustrating.

Nice job. This is a great app. Love that you can record and play back. Really is helping in pronouncing the phrases correctly. Also my wife is from Hong Kong and she confirmed this is cantonese. Kind of a relief because I bought it and then looked at this review section.

Not real cantonese. My wife is cantonese and doesn't recognize most of the words the app is trying to say. It is useless to learn a language if a native speaker will never understand u due to incorrect teaching.

Ummmmm........... Every time I open this app, it immediately shuts down. I don't know why but this needs to be improved. Please fix this!!!
