Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Generated reading that knows you.
• Made for you — generated pieces now weave in the words you're due to review,
so you meet them again right when you're about to forget. Read → save →
meet again → remember: the loop is finally closed
• Honest levelling — when a generated piece doesn't reach the HSK level you
picked, we now say so, show how far off it is, and offer "try another" or
"drop a level" instead of quietly handing it over
• Measure words — the lookup panel now lists measure words separately
(the 件 in 一件上衣), instead of burying them in the English gloss
• Feeds, honestly — most news RSS feeds give summaries, not full articles.
Those are now marked "Summary only", and you can open the original page
in one tap
• New HSK standard — the word lists move to HSK 3.0 (the 2021 standard),
growing from ~5,000 to nearly 11,000 words. The two standards scale
levels differently, so the level numbers you see will change
The interface is now available in Japanese, Korean and Russian.
