PREPARE AND PASS THE HSK EXAM WITH CHINESIMPLE Speak, write, and read Chinese with ease. Learning Chinese and passing the HSK exam might sound intimidating. But with Chinesimple and our fearless tutor Bingo, you'll get there faster — and have a good time doing it. WHY CHOOSE CHINESIMPLE – YOUR ALL-IN-ONE CHINESE LEARNING APP • HSK VOCABULARY YOU CAN ACTUALLY MASTER Access over 5,000 HSK words (v2) and 11,000 (v3). Your own Chinese dictionary, always in your pocket — no fluff. • OVER 300 LESSONS. YES, REALLY. We didn’t just slap together a phrasebook. Chinesimple includes a complete learning path with hundreds of structured lessons. Who else offers that? Exactly. • LEARN TO WRITE — FOR REAL Our stroke animations were drawn by actual people, not generated by some fancy AI. Each stroke reflects real handwriting from a native speaker. Because learning how to write Chinese means actually learning how it’s written. • FLASHCARDS, BUT DONE RIGHT Every HSK word comes with a flashcard and an image. More than 6,000, all designed to make vocabulary stick. Are we obsessed? A little. But it works. • MASTER USEFUL CHINESE SENTENCES Over 4,000 real-life examples — with native audio recorded by the same person who drew all the strokes. Offline. Data-free. Airplane-mode ready. • SPEAK CHINESE IN REAL CONTEXTS Practice everyday phrases and build confidence with voice recognition and listening tools that actually help. • 100% PERSONALIZED LEARNING Choose what you want to focus on — pronunciation, reading, writing — and we’ll tailor the content to your goals. No pressure, just progress. • LEARNING THAT’S ACTUALLY FUN Score points. Unlock challenges. Hit goals. This isn’t gamification as a gimmick — it’s motivation that works. • CHARACTERS FOR EVERY REGION Learn both simplified and traditional Chinese characters, so you’re ready for anything — from Beijing to Taipei. • FLUENCY FROM DAY ONE Our tools are built for beginners, but scale with you as you grow. Learn Mandarin with confidence, at your pace. AVAILABLE IN 12 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Russian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Arabic.

Fun app for learning HSK or high-use words
04/21/2023

This is a very user-friendly app that runs natively on both iPad and iPhone, making it both more pleasant to use and more accessible for people with visual impairment than iPhone-only apps. There are a variety of activities to learn the words, so it’s not repetitive and boring like purely flash card apps. I love the way the developers included details like color coding for the tones to help remember them with the word. Both mainland and traditional Chinese are available as well as one of my favorite features - a simplified vs. traditional character comparison game - great for folks who want to learn both like I do. The pro version is expensive but I waited for a push notification with a discount and am really enjoying the extra features. I still wish I didn’t have to pay for all the HSK levels separately though. The free version has a lot of functionality for those who don’t want to pay. Highly recommend for those who want to practice HSK vocab in a way that’s more fun and less tedious than other methods. There’s so many different things to do here to keep you motivated and seeing the words in these different contexts really helps with memory.

This app is honestly underrated. I heard about it from a youtuber that i watch when studying myself. i looked it up and honestly fell in love. most of the features are available for free with some exceptions for the lessons and other items. it genuinely is worth it and if you can afford the pro version please go for it. it genuinely is one of the most helpful apps i’ve used and it’s so nice because the pronunciations don’t appear to be done by an AI. it sounds like a genuine person speaking which is awesome because no one wants to sound like a robot. i’d say my main issue is that there’s no like real progress done with the lessons. you can basically just go through whichever lesson you want and in any order and i find that it makes it hard to really follow anything. especially since once you start getting to the game section of the app, it will just show you random vocab with no real progression or unlocking new words or anything like that. i find it overwhelming so in terms of actually learning the characters i would recommend a different source and then heading towards the game section. other than that this app is 10/10!

Hi and thank you for your great review! We love your feedback, and we also want to improve lessons section with some exercise to train and probe that you have learned this lesson. Some great news will arrive soon to the iOS version about hanzi writing. Keep learning!

Phenomenal, thorough HSK1 lessons
06/01/2022

Mmacmahon
There’s alot on this app, and it’s a good thing. The enormous varieties of games/quiz formats mean I can test and learn characters in many different contexts, which helps me learn them a lot better. (Though I use Duolingo a lot to supplement, it’s very easy to fall into pattern recognition with their lessons and not learn the material as solidly.) Free content is sufficient, but I happily paid the one time $18 (thank you for not making it subscription!!), well worth it for the dozens of study materials/lessons, quizzes/games, well structured dictionary, and easy to use and appealing design. Incredibly thorough educational material that’s well written and tested. Look forward to graduating to HSK2 next so I can opt for the next app!

May 2022 Update was awful
05/24/2022

ProudWhovian
This app is great for learning Chinese. It has many features that let you learn vocabulary, sentences, grammar, and characters. And the pay version is a one-time purchase and not subscription which is great. That said, they just updated the game and changed their character writing feature to make it more “user friendly”. It is clear that they got someone with terrible handwriting to write the hanzi and now they are forcing learners who want to use this feature to adopt this same terrible handwriting. The proportions are all wrong, there are incorrect strokes (left leaning that should be right, right leaning that should be left, that sort of thing). And to top it all off, there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn off the visible strokes so you can practice from memory - a feature the old version had. I really like this app series as a whole, but this update was awful. Please fix this feature!

Hi ProudWhovian, thanks a lot for your detailed feedback. We will try to think about how to apply your second point, it may be interesting to be able to customize the current app with previous levels vocabulary. About app license, each marketplace is complete independent. As you are not subscribing to a service, you are buying a license that it is not transferible to other platform. And last, about sync progress, we are working to offer in the future the possibility to make a backup and sync the app progress. Thanks!
