Research Centre for Humanities Computing, CUHK has developed a well-known web application "Chinese Character Database" (http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-can/). Which stores a huge and complete database of phonological data of over 13k chinese characters.
It is a useful and nice website, however we may encounter some difficulties on using this web application on our mobile devices.
So I wrote this little application, which is just provide a simple interface to access this web application.
You can also hear the cantonese pronunciation with this application.

One improvement is for it to pronounce more than one word at once, but it's the best you can get now considering its free.

Thank you very much Superlubu! I don't need to access the C U website in my phone anymore! One suggestion: Put the proper sound in the first tab and leave the Öther Sounds (異讀字) in the rest for reference.
