DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION OF PLECO. If you're in China, type pleco.com/getandroid in your device's web browser to download it directly from us instead - that version is not tied to Google services and so will work more reliably in China than this one.

We're continuing to make this version of Pleco available on Google Play only because some Chinese app stores mirror this version of Pleco from Google and refuse to allow us to update our app listing with them directly - literally the only way we can update Pleco on those stores is by updating this version.

But assuming you're not an automated script at 百度手机助手, you'll be much better off with a direct APK download from pleco.com/getandroid.

Bug fixes, plus single-syllable audio is built into our app again (no need for a separate download) and we added an option for plaintext AnkiDroid definition exports and an option to exclude example sentences in flashcard exports. Also added support for some new/updated content we'll be launching shortly.
One piece of updated content available right now: the new expanded 5th Edition of "Chinese History: A New Manual," which also restores the print version indexes + adds a searchable glossary.
