I downloaded the Free version and played with my almost 7-year-old and she really enjoyed it. We now have the whole set. Chinese characters in the pictograms groups are easy and fun to learn.

It's very intresting! ### 5/5 — very good! *2012-05-09, version 1.0* The interface design is very attractive. The content is attractive too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why are you so STINGY? *2022-06-26, version 1.5* You have a good app BUT you allow only ONE sample lesson. It is really a waste of my time and bandwidth to even download it! ### 1/5 — Why do I need to BUY it? *2020-04-06, version 1.5* I HATE how we must pay to learn other words, I mean it’s nice and all that it’s educational but why pay?! ### 1/5 — Have to pay! *2012-11-27, version 1.2* Really well done app. The first lesson on the face is free but everyone after you must pay for! ### 3/5 — Good app but bad bugs *2014-06-23, version 1.3* I like this app very much. It has a great way of teaching Chinese characters. However when I try to learn the mouth character 口the app stops working. ### 3/5 — Great app: a few minor changes *2012-05-24, version 1.1* This is a great app to learn chinese characters (simplified and traditional). It gives you really cool paintings with links to the applicable characters. there are a number of scenes to choose from which are basically landscapes with metadata built in The great: easy to see why characters are the way they are. It shows a link from original cave paintings through its evolution into characters Also, its a good looking app Minor tweeks: toggle speed for character simulations when it demonstrates the stroke order. More smoothness and faster speed moving between scenes/sections. Also, a pause button for the character evolution. Its really cool and i want to admire it longer Main tweek needed: info on more characters. Its got a nice variety but it would be nice to have a notice built in the app saying whats in development, when its coming and what it would cost All in all $3 to get all the packs. I think its descent value but i would rather have had many more characters and a value price if that were possible Its nice to see tablets FINALLY being used properly for character education ### 4/5 — Art of Chinese Characters *2016-11-19, version 1.5* Thank-you. I am delighted to be learning something about Chinese culture. This is a very sweet teaching app. I think that I will want to find the rest of the lessons (2-7) somewhere, since they aren't available through USA APPLE APPS. ### 4/5 — good design with bug *2014-05-04, version 1.3* The design is good but there is a bug. For every category, the app quit when chosing LEARN then tapping the first character on the left. My daughter said she would give it five stars if it didn't have the bug. ### 4/5 — ditto the others but for the crashing mouth & taking my $ *2014-04-20, version 1.3* it's great to see the evolution of the characters although it would be nice to have them all laid out at the end of each mini slide show. the app crashes on mouth/kou although that's a relatively minor point against the app as a whole. ### 4/5 — Beautifully Designed *2013-09-23, version 1.3* The app is beautifully designed and will allow individuals to learn how to read/write Chinese characters. It is a simple and effective app. Nicely done! ### 4/5 — Great! *2012-12-24, version 1.2* This is a very good app. The worst part is that you have to pay for the lessons. Please make more free lessons! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Delightful *2018-01-19, version 1.5* A unique approach. I quite enjoy this app. Well worth the $.
