We've been making Chinese dictionary apps since 2000, and our sales and customer base have been steadily growing for 17 years across four different platforms. We take good care of our longtime users: people who bought a dictionary on a Palm Pilot in 2001 can still use that dictionary on a new Android phone in 2020 without even paying an upgrade fee. Paid add-ons can be moved to a new device like any other paid app; just open our free app on your new device and they should reactivate. If you already own Pleco on another OS, see pleco.com/android for migration options. This app uses Accessibility services.
