iCED Chinese Dictionary
iCED Chinese Dictionary presents a unique way to use a Chinese dictionary. After you've found the entry you were searching for, iCED will continue to search for compound or component entries to complement your search. Component entry dissection allows you to quickly understand the meaning of components in longer words or phrases. For example, if you look up 中华人民共和国, iCED will also look up 中华 and 人民共和国. You can then select the latter to break it up into 人民 and 共和国. When you get to single characters, iCED will look up compound entries starting with that character.
This edition is ad supported. Ads can be removed via an optional in-app purchase.

• 字 button will now switch to the character dictionary even if the "Use in search" property is set to OFF.
• Fixed crash that could occur by pressing the dictionary selection button too rapidly.

iPad-specific fixes:
