Latest reviews of Pinyin Pro app for iPhone and iPad
Big app, 13.9MB. Very spare interface, neatly organizes words by their initial or final sounds, and pronounces very clearly (male voice) each of the four tones. Have been looking for this function! I am disappointed that the character doesnt appear (simplified or traditional), but to those of us who find Pinyin unintuitive, its great to have a reference speaker always at your fingertips. I would like to also have the characters cross referenced too. With the character support this would easily be a 5-star app.
This app is awesome for beginning students. I am in an intro mandarin class at UGA and have found this to be very helpful is study for listening quizes (being able to recognize and write initials, finals, and compounds by sound). Very affordable too!
