Version 2.0.1: • Built on the new HSK 3.0 standard, with a six-level placement test so you start at the right level. • Learn and Today open faster: your path shows instantly and refreshes in the background. • Chinese characters now show full-width punctuation correctly. • Fixes: sentence analysis no longer repeats the sentence, the current plan screen shows the right plan, and path lesson labels are cleaner.

Version 2.0: NihaoMando, rebuilt from the ground up. • A cleaner new design with Chinese characters at its centre, set in a new, easier-to-read typeface. • Five tabs: Today, Learn, Speak, Mistakes and Me. Open the app and your next lesson is right there. • New Mistakes notebook: the sentences you haven't said right yet, in one place to review. • Every exercise rebuilt: answers sit within thumb reach, feedback comes after each question, and each lesson ends by showing the words to review. • Speaking exercises in lessons: try again to improve your score; your latest attempt counts. • Calls, role-play and sentence drills have a new look. • A faster start: set up your plan on one screen and say your first sentence right away.

• Faster sign-up: type the 6-digit code we email you, right in the app — no link to tap. Sign in with Apple or Google now comes first. • Your first lesson ends with a celebration and counts toward your streak. • A shorter, clearer placement test: every question shows in full, and the result matches your score. • Daily reminders: the app now explains why before asking to send notifications. • The streak calendar stays tidy at large text sizes.

• A new opening screen: the app starts faster and no longer flashes empty while data loads. • Pick your language right at sign-in — Vietnamese, English, Thai, Korean, Japanese and Khmer. • Word meanings, character meanings, example sentences and grammar notes all follow the language you chose. • The app now honours your system Reduce Motion setting. • A tidier Home and Profile, and a fix for the clipped logo on the sign-in screen.

• Home now shows your HSK coordinate — where you stand on the HSK 1–6 path, right at the top. • Invite a study partner with a single link that works even before they install the app. • Pro now says what it actually unlocks: no daily limits on AI chat, pronunciation scoring, grammar explanations, or speaking practice. • Sign-up and password-reset errors now appear in Vietnamese. • Various display and stability fixes.

This update unlocks the AI tutor — and adds a lot more ways to practice. • AI tutor — ask anything in your own language: grammar, word usage, why an answer was wrong. Every reply comes with translate, explain, listen and copy right on the message. • Role-play conversations — pick a real situation (ordering food, asking directions, shopping), talk through it with your voice, and see which of the scenario's objectives you hit. Conversations are saved so you can pick them up later. • Ask "Why?" the moment you get one wrong — open an explanation for that exact question without leaving the lesson. • Five new exercise types in the lesson player — multiple choice, type the pinyin, match word to meaning, fill in the blank, and put the sentence in order. • Tone practice — a tone-discrimination drill, plus tone sandhi as a reference you can look up. • A reorganized Learn tab — PRACTICE and REFERENCE are now separate, writing has its own door, and one search field replaces the three separate library screens. • Deeper writing practice — every character runs through two real phases, and sentence feedback gets its own result screen with a level picker. • Pinyin visibility setting — turn pinyin on or off across the whole app from Settings. • Profile & progress — a detailed progress screen, three-state achievements, and a streak calendar with a legend that shows what you did today. • Study reminders in your language — reminder notifications now follow the language you use in the app. Plus a long list of fixes and polish: a Vietnamese keyboard no longer rewrites the pinyin you type, strokes are no longer dropped while you write, and screens hold up when you scale the system text size.

This update brings the full learning path. • A staged path — open the app and your next lesson is right there. Each stage is a run of lessons plus a checkpoint; pass it and the next stage unlocks. • A new lesson player — several exercise types run in one flow instead of bouncing you between screens. • Retake the level test whenever you like — start the comprehensive test from Profile, read the per-skill report, then decide for yourself whether to update your level. • Steadier pronunciation practice — if scoring fails, you can retry or skip instead of getting stuck mid-lesson. • A tidier interface — dialogs and alerts were rebuilt and now look consistent in both light and dark mode. • Privacy on your terms — you choose whether to allow usage analytics and ad measurement, and you can change it any time in Settings.
