• Chinesimple gets a top-to-bottom makeover We have completely redesigned the app, with a new home screen that puts your learning first. Your course, games, flashcards, dictionary and progress are all within easy reach, with much smoother navigation. Even Bingo needed an update. • Your next practice session is waiting The new Home suggests daily practice and activities based on your progress, helping you move through the course and find what to practise next. We are also introducing daily streaks to make every day of practice count. You bring the motivation; the app helps you choose where to go next. • New flashcard decks: finally here You asked for them, and now you can study with flashcard decks and scheduled reviews using a spaced repetition system (SRS), which adjusts when to review each word based on how well you remember it. Create your own decks to review vocabulary your way, and revisit the words that need another round to help them stick. • Much more than a fresh look Every screen has been redesigned, and the improvements go beyond looks: better games, a new sentence search, more games in the advanced exam and improved stroke animations. We have also improved the experience on tablets, large screens and foldables. There is plenty to discover!

• HSK6 is ready for the new HSK 3.0 (2026) The new vocabulary is now available in HSK6 too, with updated words, example sentences, native audio and flashcards. • All HSK1-HSK6 levels are ready for the new standard With HSK6, every level is now adapted to HSK 3.0 (2026). The first official exam takes place on December 13, and from 2027 it will be the only official vocabulary in use. • The new HSK keeps growing The Guided Course based on the new HSK 3.0 (2026) is already available in HSK1, and we are preparing it for the remaining levels.

• HSK4 and HSK5 join the new HSK 3.0 (2026) The official 2026 vocabulary is now available in the HSK4 and HSK5 apps. We’ve replaced the interim 2021 lists so you can study the Chinese entering use this year, rather than a provisional version. The update brings new words, example sentences, native audio and flashcards. • Your progress adapts, and your lists stay with you Your HSK 3.0 progress and any saved word lists are migrated to the new vocabulary. A percentage or displayed level may change because words and sentences are now organised differently, but your work stays with you. • HSK4 gets a fresh new look We’ve reviewed meanings and improved every HSK4 flashcard, both HSK 2.0 and HSK 3.0 (2026), with clearer, easier-to-remember artwork. Sometimes a good picture is better than wrestling with the same word three times. • Bingo has not gone on summer holiday He has been reviewing all the errors, questions and improvements you’ve sent us to keep refining the content and make the app feel more like yours. Thanks for helping us keep every character in its place.

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.
