best
Ive been trying many different chinese learning programs and this one is the best by far. I've purchased an expensive learning program and hhave tried out many other podcasts and apps. But this one is the greatest, it breaks down chinese characters so you really no what your learning and goes at a slow but extremely clear pace. The problem with other programs is that they teach you phrases and senteces but not the important components within them which are vital for understanding mandarin. and holy jeez its also pretty cheap, seriosly this app is great

Great app
This is a good app for learning Chinese. Works as a stand alone, but the online course adds very useful tools. The design idea of a progressive course is brilliant.
Have been waiting for something like this!
Having used other Chinese podcasts and apps before, I was really looking for an app like this that is well integrated and that you can do in small chunks at a time, for example while commuting.
This app is clean, simple and very intuitive.
The lessons are progressive, which makes it easy to build and reinforce the previous lessons. The exercises and videos make it fun... almost like a game.
The audio and text synch is also a very nice feature that helps me concentrate on the lesson better.
Great stuff, looking forward to more lessons!

Awesome start!
This is an awesome program! It teaches you both words and what each symbol means within the words to help build your vocabulary and learning.
My only problem is that there are only 20 lessons you can buy. I would LOVE to see that expanded!

Very good program - not truly free
The upside:
Lesson program set out well with visual and audio cues. Set out in a way that makes learning the basics simple.
Excellent review schedule built in to continue practicing already learnt material.
Vocabulary already learnt is used in further lessons. As someone who tought english in Taiwan it's important to review review review.
The downside:
Only first three lessons are free. There are 20 in the current program and you will beef to pay an additional $6 AUD to unlock a further 5 lessons. If your prepared to pay $18 for a course then it's no problem.
I was so impressed with the first three lessons that I have purchased lessons 4-10. I will decide again after that if I continue to buy ip yo lesson 20.
Suggestions:
I would like to see more content past the current 20 lessons. I believe that there is 60 on total (unsure of that). Would be good to see course extended.
You should charge less for the lesson downloads or offer a significant discount to download the whole product. I won't continue to pay the $6 fee for 5 additional lessons if you did go beyond lesson 20.
That said it's a really well put together course. Much better than any I've seen on the market.
Only correction in program is when you answer a question wrong in vocabulary to get shown the correct result.

Awesome app!
This is a great app to help people learn mandarin!
Great way to learn Mandarin
I really enjoyed using the first 3 free lesson and went on to buy the remaining lessons. The developers need to add more lessons in the future to make this app a fully capable Mandarin tutor. Also SRS could be employed in Flashcards to make learning experience more long lasting.
Keep it up!
