The most effective and well thought out app I have tried. Articles are relevant, short, meaningful, and very engaging. Articles are updated several days in a week. Topics are so interesting that I look forward to reading the new articles uploaded. My favorite feature is the save word which allows me to review new words in flashcard format at my own pace which also shows how words are used in a sentence. I never thought that such a well-designed reading app exists. I have looked for an app like this for a long time and am glad I’ve found Du Chinese. I barely use the other Chinese language apps. I find myself using mostly Du. Thank you so much to the team behind Du Chinese. You are awesome and a tremendous help.
Thank you
