You may also mention FLTR, a program similar to LWT or 3000Hanzi, but without any price tag and much easier to set up: https://code.google.com/p/fltr/

Yes, true, I’m gonna add it to the list. I’ve used both Zhongwen and Perapera before.

Hey Hugh,

yeah iChaCha can give some good example sentences. I sometimes use Engkoo.com as well, but Jukuu & iChaCha is sufficient most of the times.

Thanks for the ichacha tip, I didn’t know about that one. Always good to have more example sentences.

Yeah, I don’t have Anki on my phone just yet. Will check it out.

I wish I could check out Qingwen as well. It seems it’s only for iPhone? Can’t find it for Android :/

A tool i found was also useful is the Chinese-English online dictionary nciku. It has a handwriting tool that makes looking up Chinese characters really easier.
