A very helpful application to practice and improve your Chinese skills. Considering to pay for the advanced options👍
Absolutely, FANTASTIC

I don’t normally write reviews but I just had to. The app doesn’t actually require paying at all. You can totally use it without paying and that aspect is very considerate. Helpful features don’t get locked behind paywall and the only thing I’ve noticed that had a paywall were just some premium stories, but even then the free ones are just as good and you can totally read the free ones without running out.
Very clever

The best way To lean
The subscription is too expensive
_realpfhhhh
I use this application for years. It’s very good for upper intermediate like me but I never decide to subscribe for once since the price is very high, compare to the entertainment platform(which we use it more often). If the price’s lower, I woldn’t hesitate to subscribe.
We've added a new resource hub for quick access to keywords, grammar, and more while you read. Premium users can now start listening from any chapter of a story.
