Ratings and Reviews
Great except for one thing
The stroke recognition when you’re writing characters is really terrible, especially with dots and short strokes. You can go over a stroke exactly and it will shake indicating you’ve done it wrong. The parameters for a correct stroke are too narrow and it slows down my studying tremendously.
Developer Response ,
Could you please check for the latest version.
In Settings (top right corner on flashcards) you can select "Stroke Matcher Mode". Sounds like "strict" mode is what you are asking for.
Thanks for your review, I hope it works as expected.

Need additional features to be great!
After using the app for several hours, here are the good. Nice flash cards. Has a library of premade vocabulary bank of words from various Chinese textbooks and APPs that can be downloaded. Has audio in flash card. This app would be 5 stars if the following changes are made: Night mode to make it easy on the eyes. Ability to expand text size in grammar section as some user have bad eyes. Last but most important to some users like me, the ability to review and go through the entire deck of flash cards without having to press whether I know it or not! That’s so annoying that it can’t be turned off. I want a feature that gives me the option for continuous learning (cram) without having to be interrupted with rescheduling words over and over again. Just let me review all the words in sequential order in a HSK chapter/lesson/deck from beginning to end for quick review. I understand there is a memorization method they are using to help me memorize it, but I want the option to turn that off. In addition, I would like them to minimize touch or swipe when advancing a card to avoid carpel tunnel injury to thumb and fingers. Just let me tap on the right side of the screen to advance forward or tap on the left side of the screen to go backwards. Of course, this feature should be available under cram mode. Please fix because I’m ready to purchase your app.

Thank you for sharing such deep and valuable thoughts. We will discuss them with our team and get back to you.
If you have any other ideas or questions, please let us know at app@laoshi.io.
Thank you very much! 🤗
Feature request: more flexibility in reviewing
First of all, it’s awesome to have found an app for learning hanzi that is as addictive as doomscrolling on Twitter! Second: it would be great if I could adjust the pace of how soon words will be due for review, or how many times it will be repeated in the initial learning phase. This could also be tied in to the goal setting feature: if I set a goal for five characters a day, for example, but then I am still using the app having already learned five new characters that day, it could give me a choice between learning even more new ones vs. reviewing the ones I’ve already learned — either from that day or from my entire history. And/or maybe alongside the Daily Goal / Need To Be Reviewed / HSK Goal buttons in the Progress row, the Total Characters Learned counter could become a button to go into a review mode that would cycle through all the characters I’ve learned so far..
