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of those downloads were achieved before we released Hanping Chinese Dictionary Lite (on 7 September 2012) which superseded the Classic app.

The is the old free version of Hanping Chinese Dictionary. It is only useful to people running Android 2.2 or earlier. If your Android device is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread (or higher) you will most probably want to install the new Hanping Chinese Dictionary Lite app (and uninstall this Classic app if necessary). You can also keep both apps installed at the same time, if you wish. But it is probably a good idea to close (Force Stop) one app before opening the other.

Now that we have recently released a brand new free version of Android’s most popular Chinese dictionary, the old free app has been renamed to Hanping Chinese Classic.

Other changes in this update: Changed app icon to silver to help distinguish it from the other Hanping apps (new Lite is blue, Pro is green) Fixed bug (on older Android devices) where sometimes a list search would never not be properly executed (user would just see never-ending progress spinner)
