Xi xi ńi :/ not good enough

Very useful!

I am learning Chinese from the ground up and have found this to be a very useful app: essential for guiding me through the process. It is well-written, works flawlessly, and has an excellent flash card capability that lets you create customized lists of words you find useful, difficult, etc. I like it so much I am buying the expanded version (contains more words) and expect to use it daily. This is a highly refined app and I cannot recommend it more strongly!

Bring back original

Bring back the feature where you can get Chinese test messages and translate to English and you can do the reverse. That was a useful feature for communicating.

It's good.

This is a good app. If you are trying to learn characters it's not that good. All the the kanji is traditional not simplified. Almost everything in China is simplified (I lived in China). The words and tones are the same. I would give this a five if the kanji was up to date. The pinyin is accurate so it's not a total loss. It's defiantly worth the free download!

I love it!!!

I would recommend the army to use this tactic!!!! And the designers should make a whole line of apps!!! I luv! it!

Gracias

Having basic words in the free trial would help get us into a pattern of use. Hello, goodbye, please, thank you etc. would allow us to enjoy the software and want more.

Very good (free App)

This App is very good, the only recommendation I have are short sentence examples of how words are used in context

garbage

totally stinks even google translate is better

GREAT

Simple, easy, perfect for beginners like me. This app has taught me so much. This will come in handy when I go to China. Highly recommended.

Random vocal

There are no verbs in this set, and the remaining study sets have random vocab. The pronouns, for example are missing I, you, you plural and we.....but have words like nothing. I sent the company an email about it thinking that something went wrong with the download. They shot back an abrupt email telling me that the vocab had been selected by experts, and have not responded to my follow up email. Check out Byki instead.
