ToneMaster: HSK Flashcards

Learn Mandarin Vocabulary

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Master Mandarin tones with colors. Struggling to tell mǎ (horse) from mà (to scold)? ToneMaster turns HSK vocabulary into visual flashcards where every tone has its own color. See a character, hear the word, and instantly recognize its tone — the method that finally makes Mandarin tones stick. HOW IT WORKS Each card shows the character, its pinyin with tone marks, and clear audio. Review the card, and ToneMaster schedules it again with spaced repetition, right before you would forget it. You remember more while studying less. COMPLETE HSK 1-9 COVERAGE • 10,693 unique words across all nine HSK levels • 11,086 unique example sentences to learn words in context • Pinyin with tone marks on every card • Spaced repetition that adapts to what you forget WHY COLOR-CODED TONES WORK Each of the four tones — plus the neutral tone — is highlighted in its own color. Your eye learns the tone as you read, so correct pronunciation becomes automatic. Linking a color to a sound gives your brain an extra handle to hold on to — exactly what tones lack when you only ever read them on a page. AUDIO YOU CAN TRUST Every word and sentence includes clear audio generated by neural speech synthesis, so you always hear the right pronunciation. HSK 1 audio is built in; HSK 2-9 audio packs download on demand and then play offline. FREE TO START, ONE-TIME PURCHASE HSK 1 is completely free. A single one-time purchase unlocks all of HSK 2-9. No subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No account. No analytics. Just you and your flashcards — your progress stays on your device. WHO IT'S FOR • Complete beginners starting from zero with HSK 1 • Students preparing for an HSK exam at any level • Learners who keep confusing similar-sounding tones WHY TONES ARE SO TRICKY In Mandarin, a single syllable can carry several meanings depending on its tone — the same sound spoken four ways means four different things. When you only read a tone on a page, your eyes have nothing to hold on to. ToneMaster fixes that by giving every tone a color you can recognize at a glance. DAILY REVIEW A few minutes a day is enough. ToneMaster includes a daily review of ten quick tone questions,. Finish a set and you get a shareable result grid to track your progress day by day. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Do I need to know any Chinese to start? A: No. HSK 1 starts from absolute zero, with pinyin and audio for every word. Q: Is the audio recorded by a real person? A: The audio is generated by neural speech synthesis, so every word and sentence is clear and consistent. Q: Can I study offline? A: HSK 1 is embedded and available offline. For HSK 2-9, download each audio pack once and it plays offline afterwards. Q: Is ToneMaster free? A: HSK 1 is completely free. A single one-time purchase unlocks HSK 2-9 — there is no subscription and no recurring cost. Q: Does the app show ads or track me? A: No. There are no ads, no tracking, no account, and no analytics. Your progress is stored locally on your device. Q: How does spaced repetition work? A: Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know well come back later. ToneMaster schedules each review right before you would forget it, so your effort goes exactly where it is needed. Start building your color memory for tones today. Download ToneMaster, start with HSK 1 for free, and watch the tones become automatic.
