The characters fall from the top of the screen — touch them and draw them correctly to score points. But don't let them reach the bottom, or else — boom! Three mistakes and the game is over, but the learning continues: you can review everything you've seen, with stroke order diagrams, and practise at your own pace. The characters you made the most mistakes on are highlighted at the top of the list.

I would rate 5 stars but held back. Could you please add the restore purchase or a feature to sync between device? The app is incredibly helpful for me to remember the characters when I’m not using Chinese regularly in everyday conversations. However, I cannot unlock the full packagage on my ipad although I bought it on my iphone. Same appstore, apple account, and in-app account.
Great practice for writing

Super for practising writing. Good quality app. I’d like a bit more time to consolidate the learning though and when the game speeds up it can lead to mistakes. Be nice to have it escalate some other way.
Needs new update to fix issues resulting from new iOS
Solomon now
Need syncing across devices and a way of suggesting the addition of characters that aren’t currently on the system. Currently it’s impossible to practice the characters, you can only play the game, which I personally rarely do. Please fix and I’ll give four stars, add syncing and I’ll add five!
Amazing!

This helps many people to write characters smoothly and in the correct order. Perfect app for schools, or just playing at home! It’s addictive for the better. I would recommend this to people that have trouble with Chinese.
This version includes a few bug fixes and user interface improvements. We've also added a few new user interface languages!
