PREPARE AND PASS THE HSK EXAM WITH CHINESIMPLE
Speak, write, and read Chinese with ease.
Learning Chinese and passing the HSK exam might sound intimidating. But with Chinesimple and our fearless tutor Bingo, you'll get there faster — and have a good time doing it.
WHY CHOOSE CHINESIMPLE – YOUR ALL-IN-ONE CHINESE LEARNING APP
• HSK VOCABULARY YOU CAN ACTUALLY MASTER
Access over 5,000 HSK words (v2) and 11,000 (v3). Your own Chinese dictionary, always in your pocket — no fluff.
• OVER 300 LESSONS. YES, REALLY.
We didn’t just slap together a phrasebook. Chinesimple includes a complete learning path with hundreds of structured lessons. Who else offers that? Exactly.
• LEARN TO WRITE — FOR REAL
Our stroke animations were drawn by actual people, not generated by some fancy AI. Each stroke reflects real handwriting from a native speaker. Because learning how to write Chinese means actually learning how it’s written.
• FLASHCARDS, BUT DONE RIGHT
Every HSK word comes with a flashcard and an image. More than 6,000, all designed to make vocabulary stick. Are we obsessed? A little. But it works.
• MASTER USEFUL CHINESE SENTENCES
Over 4,000 real-life examples — with native audio recorded by the same person who drew all the strokes. Offline. Data-free. Airplane-mode ready.
• SPEAK CHINESE IN REAL CONTEXTS
Practice everyday phrases and build confidence with voice recognition and listening tools that actually help.

I bought HSK5 pro but it doesn’t give me any of its features.

Money grubbing devs
ProudWhovian
When I first started using the Chinesimple apps, the lifetime membership was relatively affordable. Now it’s $120. It was worth it at the lower price - it definitely isn’t worth $120! I continued to use the levels I hadn’t bought lifetime memberships for because there was enough free content to still be useful. Not anymore. They removed ad sponsored content and moved everything that used to be accessible for free with ads to the paid version. This was a money-grab, pure and simple. Now the app is practically useless if you can’t afford ridiculous fees. And before the devs come back saying there’s a monthly subscription option - that’s even worse. Don’t waste your time or money on this app.
Developer Response
We’re sorry to hear you feel that way. The lifetime plan was never meant to be the long-term focus of our pricing model — in fact, we plan to remove it soon to align with most modern learning platforms.As for the ad-supported content, many users couldn’t access it at all due to regional restrictions (e.g. in China or Russia), and ads were becoming more disruptive than helpful. That’s why we unlocked much of that content (stories, games, basic exams) for free, even without ads. Only lessons remain partially limited.We understand that pricing changes are tough, but we continue to offer a full-featured free version, and our monthly plan is among the most affordable in the field.Thanks for using the app in the past, and we wish you the best on your learning journey. 🐼
Rip off
hrsddkwoncvdk
I completely agree that this app is a huge rip off. I do not want to pay and then have the app restricted. This is not a video game with levels this is a language app. I feelThe developers are very disrespectful of learners who want to go at their own pace in their own way. I don’t want the app to limit how I progress. This could be a great app but I hate it.
Developer Response
Hi! Thank you for sharing your honest feedback — and we’re truly sorry that the app made you feel frustrated 🐯Let us clarify: after purchasing the PRO version, you have full access to all the learning content — vocabulary, lessons, exercises and practice material. The only part that includes progression steps is a few specific games designed to help you build up your knowledge gradually and avoid being overwhelmed with too much content at once.Our intention is never to restrict learners, but rather to guide them step-by-step to ensure better long-term retention. That said, we understand that some users prefer a more flexible experience, and your feedback helps us improve.If you ever wish to give Chinesimple another chance, feel free to contact us at hello@khanjischool.com — we’d be happy to offer you a small gift and personally assist you in unlocking your full learning experience. We truly want Chinesimple to be a helpful tool for every student at any pace 💙
Strange

This app’s interface looks strange, like it’s computer code.
Developer Response
Hi! Thanks for your feedback 🐯 Chinesimple uses a special format to display Chinese characters, pinyin, and translations in a very detailed way — this might look a bit unusual at first, but it's designed to give you full control while learning.If you ever have questions or need help navigating the interface, feel free to reach out at hello@khanjischool.com — we’d be happy to assist and hear any suggestions you may have to improve the experience! 💙
