Pinyincidian is the companion Chinese-English dictionary for Chinesebrowser. By default Chinesebrowser looks up selected terms in the web version (at cidian.brainiii.com). If this app is installed, it will automatically perform the look up in this app instead. The key advantages are offline usage (therefore no mobile charges), faster lookup and privacy. We do not store or make use of any searches done in the online version (nor the offline version). But because Pinyincidian is hosted on a Google App Engine, some basic logging is inherent in the service.
