About Pinyiner

Reading Chinese is extremely important, if you live in a Chinese speaking country, plus it's the best way to learn the language. But reading raw characters has always been difficult. Pinyiner makes it easy. It breaks the characters into words, shows Pinyin above and displays the English meaning if you click on a word. Just copy&paste some text, "Share" it from another app or open a file.
Perfect for reading messages from your friends, Chinese texts on the Web and even whole books. You can also use it as a Simplified/Traditional converter.
Check out the FREE version!

I've used your free version of this software for the past 1 year and really loved it. It has enabled me to read lots of Chinese novels faster and with better understanding. Hence decided to support you by installing the paid version. My only complaint is also the occasional scrolling problems that jumbled up the text but I usually resolve that by exiting and reopening it again. I noticed that for some documents the texts remained jumbled for certain chapter even if I try editing source.

This is such a useful tool. I love that words can be starred for later review and that it allows you to see the meaning of an entire word or of each character. It's also very helpful to be able to save the files. Thank you!

This app is great. I support you by buying the pro one. Hope someday you can give more options, maybe like change the pin yin position to below the Chinese character and can share out the file. Thank you. Hope you success.

Useful, would be great if could change the size of the Chinese characters and not just the Pinyin. Zhuyin would also be a great addition for those who are not from a Pinyin background.

Yeah, like most people the only issue is the back scrolling that happens with text that is too long. Not much of a problem but if it could be fixed then this app would be perfect!
