I love Pleco as a Chinese dictionary. Most Chinese dictionaries have a different search bar for English words and latinized Chinese words (pinyin). Pleco let’s you toggle your search from English to pinyin and back again with a button. It also lets you navigate from words to their characters and from characters to words that use them. Most importantly, it color coded characters so you can see how they’re pronounced more easily which is incredibly useful for beginners.
