Today, Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro hit the magic 10,000 downloads mark on the Android Market!
We believe this is the first paid offline dictionary to achieve this 
For posterity, here is the User Reviews breakdown:
A big thanks to all the support we have received over the last couple of years to make this happen.
Available from the Android Market.
This contains a few minor bug fixes to the recently-released 2.8.0 which added support for the ABC English-Chinese Dictionary (as in-app purchase).
Available from the Android Market.
When you search using English, Hanping Pro performs a lookup on the ABC English-Chinese dictionary first. If no exact matches are found then the search falls back to the CC-CEDICT dictionary. The icon in the top-left of the screen indicates which dictionary was used to give the current search results.
Please note, this dictionary does not currently include a Chinese index, so searching by Chinese will still only give results from the CC-CEDICT dictionary (or ABC Chinese-English dictionary if you have that installed). We are looking to improve on this in the near future.
Currently, it is not possible to star English words. This will be coming shortly. In the meantime, use the History to refer back to English words you have previously looked up.
As with app purchases, you only need to purchase the ABC English-Chinese Dictionary once to then use on all of your devices. The purchase is linked to your Google account, so any Android device where you are signed into the Google account (and has Android Market, which is used to check the license), will have access to the paid dictionary.
Android Market issues are the same as with app purchases. If you are in China/Taiwan, you will probably need to do a sim swap to make the purchase. This is a pain but only needs to be done once. Please read this for more details.

Users running Cyanogen Mod: If you have purchased the ABC Chinese-English dictionary you may have noticed the formatting of the dictionary entry (on the Browse screen) does not include any indentation (i.e. each line is flush against the left hand edge of the screen). This is a known problem with Cyanogen Mod and hopefully they will fix it soon. As a knock on effect, you may notice that sometimes the highlighting of a link does not line up with the link itself. We suspect most users will not find this to be a big issue.

The Pro version now includes an in-app product for the superb ABC Chinese-English Dictionary.
Here are the highlights:
When you search using Chinese characters or Pinyin, Hanping Pro performs a lookup on the ABC dictionary first. If no exact matches are found then the search falls back to the CC-CEDICT dictionary. The icon in the top-left of the screen indicates which dictionary was used to give the current search results.

Many of the entries for common words include longer definitions and example sentences. To see some of these, bring up the hsk1 list, click on the first entry (to bring up the Browse screen) and browse down through the words (either using the down arrow icon or the fling-up gesture).
As with app purchases, you only need to purchase the ABC dictionary once to then use on all of your devices.

Known issues:
As previously mentioned, Google Translate no longer allows unlimited free translations on its servers. Instead it offers a very small free quota (100,000 chars per day, per app – NOT per user!).
For the moment, we will limit each user to 2000 characters/day for Google Translate (and still unlimited for Bing Translator). This may need to be changed (up or down) later depending on how close the combined usage gets to the 100,000 quota.
It’s also worth noting that Google may one day in the future remove the 100,000 char free quota which means we would not be able to offer Google Translate at all.
This means that it no longer makes sense to allow the user to specify Google Translate as the default engine (and so this option has been removed from the Settings). Instead Bing is now the default. Should you wish to attempt a Google Translate translation you can do so by either:
Of course, this will fail if either you have used up your quota or the application’s general quota has been used up for that day.
This is the best we can do in this situation, but feel free to let us know whether we can do better.
Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
