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.
• 100% PERSONALIZED LEARNING
Choose what you want to focus on — pronunciation, reading, writing — and we’ll tailor the content to your goals. No pressure, just progress.
• LEARNING THAT’S ACTUALLY FUN
Score points. Unlock challenges. Hit goals. This isn’t gamification as a gimmick — it’s motivation that works.

more This is a very user-friendly app that runs natively on both iPad and iPhone, making it both more pleasant to use and more accessible for people with visual impairment than iPhone-only apps. There are a variety of activities to learn the words, so it’s not repetitive and boring like purely flash card apps. I love the way the developers included details like color coding for the tones to help remember them with the word. Both mainland and traditional Chinese are available as well as one of my favorite features - a simplified vs. traditional character comparison game - great for folks who want to learn both like I do. The pro version is expensive but I waited for a push notification with a discount and am really enjoying the extra features. I still wish I didn’t have to pay for all the HSK levels separately though. The free version has a lot of functionality for those who don’t want to pay. Highly recommend for those who want to practice HSK vocab in a way that’s more fun and less tedious than other methods. There’s so many different things to do here to keep you motivated and seeing the words in these different contexts really helps with memory.

This app is honestly underrated. I heard about it from a youtuber that i watch when studying myself. i looked it up and honestly fell in love. most of the features are available for free with some exceptions for the lessons and other items. it genuinely is worth it and if you can afford the pro version please go for it. it genuinely is one of the most helpful apps i’ve used and it’s so nice because the pronunciations don’t appear to be done by an AI. it sounds like a genuine person speaking which is awesome because no one wants to sound like a robot. i’d say my main issue is that there’s no like real progress done with the lessons. you can basically just go through whichever lesson you want and in any order and i find that it makes it hard to really follow anything. especially since once you start getting to the game section of the app, it will just show you random vocab with no real progression or unlocking new words or anything like that. i find it overwhelming so in terms of actually learning the characters i would recommend a different source and then heading towards the game section. other than that this app is 10/10!
Developer Response Hi and thank you for your great review! We love your feedback, and we also want to improve lessons section with some exercise to train and probe that you have learned this lesson. Some great news will arrive soon to the iOS version about hanzi writing. Keep learning!

There’s alot on this app, and it’s a good thing. The enormous varieties of games/quiz formats mean I can test and learn characters in many different contexts, which helps me learn them a lot better. (Though I use Duolingo a lot to supplement, it’s very easy to fall into pattern recognition with their lessons and not learn the material as solidly.) Free content is sufficient, but I happily paid the one time $18 (thank you for not making it subscription!!), well worth it for the dozens of study materials/lessons, quizzes/games, well structured dictionary, and easy to use and appealing design. Incredibly thorough educational material that’s well written and tested. Look forward to graduating to HSK2 next so I can opt for the next app!
Developer Response Thank you so much for your review Mmacmahon! We are happy that you have found useful Chinesimple app & resources for your learning. We are glad to offer different PRO plans to make the app suitable for any kind of student: plans for just one-month review resource or a lifetime license to keep the app forever as a great review tool. Keep learning and we are sure you will reach HSK2 course soon :)

This app is great for learning Chinese. It has many features that let you learn vocabulary, sentences, grammar, and characters. And the pay version is a one-time purchase and not subscription which is great. That said, they just updated the game and changed their character writing feature to make it more “user friendly”. It is clear that they got someone with terrible handwriting to write the hanzi and now they are forcing learners who want to use this feature to adopt this same terrible handwriting. The proportions are all wrong, there are incorrect strokes (left leaning that should be right, right leaning that should be left, that sort of thing). And to top it all off, there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn off the visible strokes so you can practice from memory - a feature the old version had. I really like this app series as a whole, but this update was awful. Please fix this feature!
Developer Response Hi ProudWhovian, thanks a lot for your detailed feedback. We will try to think about how to apply your second point, it may be interesting to be able to customize the current app with previous levels vocabulary. About app license, each marketplace is complete independent. As you are not subscribing to a service, you are buying a license that it is not transferible to other platform. And last, about sync progress, we are working to offer in the future the possibility to make a backup and sync the app progress. Thanks!

• HSK 3.0 (2026) update
We’ve fully updated the HSK 3.0 vocabulary to the new official 2026 word lists. HSK 3.0 (2026) replaces the previous HSK 3.0 (2021) lists inside the app. This first update is available for HSK1, HSK2 and HSK3. The remaining HSK levels will arrive in the coming weeks.
• Your progress has been migrated
Your HSK 3.0 (2021) progress has been adapted to the new vocabulary: words, sentences, games, mistakes, exams, unlocked flashcards and saved word lists. Your custom word lists are kept, and each word now shows the level it belongs to in the new 2026 lists. Important! Your progress may have changed: we’ve added many new sentences for HSK1 2.0 and 3.0, so some percentages may go down because there is now more content to complete.
• New HSK 3.0 (2026) study content
The new HSK 3.0 (2026) lists include around 600 words that were not part of HSK if we compare all HSK1-HSK6 levels with the 2.0 and 3.0 (2021) lists. We’ve added new example sentences, around 300 of them, and reorganized many existing sentences between levels. We’ve also added new and improved lessons for HSK 3.0 (2026), especially in HSK1, with lessons reorganized between levels to better match the new vocabulary. The dictionary now includes more than 1,800 “No HSK” words, which you can add to your lists and practice in games. Confusing Words has also been updated with more similar words and reviewed relationships.
• Audios and flashcards
More than 600 new native audios have been added for HSK 3.0 (2026) words, and all newly added sentences include native audio too. We’ve added new flashcards for words that did not have an image yet. Many current flashcards have been improved with clearer, more representative images.
• Games and practice
Stroke Order keeps improving: the next stroke is now shown in a different color to guide your writing more clearly. Write Pinyin now marks mistakes in red so you can spot errors faster. Write Pinyin, Sentence Structure, Pronunciation and Write the Story now offer hints after several failed attempts. Pronunciation has better help messages, answer normalization and sentence behavior. Multi Option adds a new setting to hide hanzi for an extra challenge. Listening Stories now lets you show the translation again from the help button. We’ve also improved the experience when completing tasks in the Guided Course, so you can move more easily to the next activity.
• General polish
Saved word lists can now be sorted by level. Bingo has new animations for correct answers, mistakes, progress, mastery and rewards. We’ve added new icons and visual improvements in several parts of the app. Messages are now clearer for connection errors, sync, vocabulary changes, log out, account deletion and app reviews. We’ve also improved sync and stability after game sessions, user profile changes and screen transitions.

• The new HSK 3.0 (2026) is getting closer
We’re preparing Chinesimple for the next major HSK 3.0 vocabulary update. The new HSK 3.0 (2026) lists will replace the current HSK 3.0 (2021) lists, a transitional version that ultimately was never used in official exams.
• New HSK 3.0 (2026) lists
Many words will change level, and brand-new words never included in HSK before will also arrive. In addition, related content such as example sentences, lessons, and other study materials will be reorganized to better reflect the new vocabulary structure.
• Your HSK 3.0 progress will adapt
In the next app update, your HSK 3.0 progress will adjust to the new lists. Since some words and sentences will change level, your progress will adapt based on the content you have already completed. Your word lists will be kept, although words will show the level they currently belong to.
• New content in preparation
In this update, we’ve already added nearly 1,000 new native audios recorded by our team for words that will be part of HSK 3.0 (2026). We’re also creating new example sentences that we’ll add gradually to improve explanations and study of the new vocabulary.
• New flashcards and visual improvements
We’re creating new flashcard images for HSK 3.0 (2026) words and improving many current flashcards with a more polished style and a clearer representation of each meaning. Part of this improved content is already available in this update.
• New HSK1 3.0 (2026) Guided Course
We’re also working on the new HSK1 3.0 (2026) Guided Course, which is already well advanced. You’ll be able to enjoy this new course shortly after the new lists arrive, so you can study the new HSK1 with a clear, organized, step-by-step path.
