For a small minority of users, there was a bug in the earlier 3.8 releases that prevented starred words and search history (from pre3.8 versions) being retained in 3.8+ versions. This has been fixed in this release. However, if you have previously updated to 3.8.0/3.8.1/3.8.2 then you may need to do some small steps to get you starred words back. First, try simply running the app (version 3.8.3). If all your starred words and search history are restored then you don’t need to read on.

3.8.1 & 3.8.2 are minor bugfix updates on 3.8.0. This update covers: Several secondary screens updated with new UI and better UX. UI now honours night mode setting About screen - Social networks section (Facebook, Twitter, Google+), Legal notices section, removed “Touch to refresh purchase info” (now in Add-ons screen) Settings screen - separated Chinese display settings into second screen. This allows first Settings screen to show a convenient summary of your Chinese settings in one sample text Add-ons screen - this is a new screen showing which dictionaries and apps you currently have installed.

On 22.02.2014, we officially retired our Hanping Chinese Classic app for Android. Originally released as Hanping Chinese Dictionary back on 13 October 2009, this was our first Android app, and first Chinese app too. On 28 January 2012, it was the first Chinese language-learning Android app to reach 500,000 downloads on Google Play, and ended up with 924,038 downloads. The vast majority of those downloads were achieved before we released Hanping Chinese Dictionary Lite (on 7 September 2012) which superseded the Classic app.

Clipboard Monitoring (Android 4.0+) - when you copy Chinese characters into the Clipboard you can optionally get a system notification showing the definition. This monitoring can be triggered at system startup (the app now requests “run at startup” permission) or triggered manually (in the action bar overflow menu). Unfortunately, many Android 4.3 devices have a well-known bug preventing realtime Clipboard monitoring from working properly. In this case, you will need to use the Clipboard icon in the notification, to trigger Hanping to read the Clipboard.
