Excellent app
Very good program. Really help you to train your hears into mandarin sounds.
Good
I like it
Best pinyin audio trainer ever!!!
I have been using this app for about 2 years and it is absolutely essential for properly learning the correct pronunciation and 5 different tones used in speaking and understanding Chinese. A few weeks of this will improve your ability not only to hear and understand mandarin but also your ability to speak and be understood. Even after 2 years of Chinese school I still use this all the time for drilling myself on tonal practice.

Prepare to buy the full version! This is awesome!
You all have got to give this app a try. You have nothing to lose. I was unsure if this app would be up to par given the plethora of crappy Mandarin learning apps on the App Store. I was blown away. This app is phenomenal. Love at first sight!

Grateful for this app which initially reveals I'm right where I know I'm at. I am sure with practice I will develop my ability to recognize the sounds better.
Good for tones
There are limits to how well the audio on an iPhone can reproduce high-pitched initial sounds, so I don't know if it is helping me recognize things like q and c. But it is really improving my ability to recognize tones, especially the tone when I hear two syllables back-to-back. When I started using this app, I was not doing much better than I could just by guessing, but gradually I am becoming able to recognize particular combinations. It is training my ear at an age when I need all the help I can get.

Chinese trainee
Interesting
It works!
I'm a native English speaker living in China. The people around me speak English, so it's more difficult for me to learn Chinese. This app makes sense to me. Learning the tones and pronunciation like this is and excellent way to learn to distinguish the words you hear, and also when reading pinyin, the correct way to say them. It's a great place to start. I'm impressed, even after just a few hours using it.
