Ratings and Reviews
Excellent app
I rarely write reviews but I just had to with this app. I have been studying Chinese for quite sometime and have used many different apps, books etc. This is hands down the best I have ever used. The fact you can turn on or off pinyin allows you to better remember characters without your eyes looking to the easier pinyin.
The stories are interesting and the spoken Chinese is clear and easy to understand. The app is easy to navigate. I bought the full version which was reasonable. A one year subscription would be equal to 3-4 hours of face to face study which makes it great value for money.
Great app
I love the functionality of this app. The text sizes are short with manageable words. It allows me to practice reading characters and building my vocabulary wherever I am. It’s really easy to use and practical.
Great way to practice
The variety of content and levels in this app is really good. I also love the way that you can customise the view to show/hide translations and 拼音 so that you can continue to use the one app to solidify good reading habits.
