No traditional characters
Also, Taiwan is not a province of China.
Great app.
It’s a great app to memorize Chinese characters. I like the included lists. Usually I build my own lists to memorice the topics from my lectures. I like how the app introduces new characters to the list when you have memorized a set of characters. The thing that bothers me is that I cannot reset a list. It can be hard to get back to an older list. All characters are available to study and apear randomly. A smaller set would be easier to handle.

Exactly what I was looking for
Many chinese language resources really seem to miss the mark for me, starting by teaching all sorts of characters you are very likely to see in a textbook, but very unlikely to see out in your daily life.
This app gives lists of most commonly used characters - ones you will actually come across on signage and menus. However, if you are a student or something and need to know how to write the the obligatory “teacher” and “nice to meet you” type of characters, they are included as well in the HSK lists.
Really a wonderful app, a very good use of spaced repetition software. Making the act of remembering characters into a sort of game with instant feedback is such a good way to learn. The fact that it is offline makes it even more convenient.
One thing - a few of the recordings are wrong but the pinyin (so far) is always right so do mind that.
I also would love the capacity to make an account so that I can keep the same progress on my ipad and my iphone.

Great bones in need of a little iteration
The app is really good, but needs some quality of life fixes to make it a really great app.
There are no customisation options (turning off the pinyin tests would be a nice option for those only wanting to do writing drills)
The pinyin recognition is pretty bad overall, you should only write the raw Latin letters with no adornments or tones because half the time they’re not recognised.
A lot of the time the pinyin is only for one reading of the word and alternate readings are classed as false.
Often the definitions given (that you have to answer by writing a character) are really vague or have too many possible answers.

Almost perfect but...
I wish we could change the settings so that we could study writing for every word (have the option of no multiple choice/definitions, only writing charavters)
No traditional characters
Very much looked forward to using this app, until i opened it for the first time. I cannot find any settings options and there are no traditional characters, which means the developers lose a substantial amount of potential users. If we could have traditional characters, I think this app would be very useful.

Got me an A in Chinese class
I’m a university student new to Chinese, and it’s a really helpful supplement to my class since you get to make custom lists and you have to practice and re-practice regularly. I highly recommend it to other students, I got an A in my class and I don’t think I could have done it without this app. Thank you so much!

5 star
This app is wonderful. Couldn’t have asked for more. Very convenient and actually feels like a game when you study your lists.
Bug on ios 12 devices
I’ve already updated ios 12 for my idevice. I used noodle and found a bug when you review a content like hsk I or some content like this when you write words have more than 2 letters you have to write backward letter exactly the forward letter. Please fix this bug soon. Your app very useful for me.
Response from developer
This bug is fixed in the new version released today. So sorry for the inconvenience!
Great app
I think it should support multi device progress
And you may consider adding dark mode into it ;)
