Great

It's missing some words like hello, thank you, good bye, good night and good morning

excited

I don know what to say, first off I just got it and it seems useful. only one kid IN MY SCHOOL speaks chineese so I would be albe to talk to him privately with this if I happen to learn chineese off of this.... so if this works thanks in advance, I've read some feedback and maby you guys should have a wider vocabulary with verbs...

Spaced Repetiton is superb

I would however like to be able to replay the question audio AFTER the answer is revealed. Currently you can only play back the answer audio.

Not that good

It's maderine but
Not organized enough it is good for people who already know
Some Chinese and want to do a test

useful

Useful and free, I wanted to be able to quickly get the word and pronunciation. There were some words I looked for that were not listed. Needs bigger vocab. but otherwise easy to use.

It's good but

Some words are just wrong. I've had this for a while now and have yet to see an update. Fix the wrong words!

Chinese lessons

This is pretty good but it's just learning basic Chinese. Perfect for beginners

Where are the verbs?!

I love the concept of this program BUT, how can you learn a language without studying the verbs?!! Not a single verb was found in the vocabulary list. The closest thing to a verb was "walker" which is still a noun but uses the verb walk in the characters. Plenty of room for improvement. I will wait until there is a real vocabulary list before I buy. Phrases would be nice but lonely planet does an okay job of that.

Audio too soft

Very promising! Please turn up the volume -- I need to see the pinyin just to get what I should get just from the sound! We need louder sound.
