I was expecting like 200 videos at least and or just cartoons. I don’t like cartoons. To be improved… and some mistakes sometimes in Hanzi translations in the videos. ### 2/5 — Cannot watch crayon shinchan *2026-02-05, version 1.1.8* I paid to watch my favorite cartoon with chinese lessons but cannot access it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Expensive greedy app *2026-08-10* Too expensive and greedy for what it is ### 1/5 — オーディオブックの単語のフォーカス *2026-07-21* アルケミストの2章以降が全て1行ズレています。また、有料で使用していますが、プレミアムにしたのに、利用料金に対してコンテンツが少ない様に思います。オーディオブックを増やして欲しいです。4-5冊とは、コンテンツの充実度がかなり少なすぎると思います。機能は良いと思いますが、クレヨンしんちゃんも見れない様です。オーディオブックの単語のフォーカスは、直ぐになおして欲しいです。 **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your support and for using our app. Your feedback helps us continue improving and making the app better for everyone. We're currently adding a lot more content to the "Podcast" section. If you're enjoying that feature and find the app helpful, would you mind leaving us a 5-star review? It would mean a lot to our team and help us reach more language learners. Thanks, ### 1/5 — Videos are not playing *2026-06-07, version 1.2.6* I don’t know why but the videos are not playing on this app. I have paid for a subscription so I’m pretty annoyed. I have tried with and without vpn, tried deleting and re-downloading the app, tried clearing app cache etc… and nothing seems to work. Why would they make an app that can’t actually play the content? 😓 ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-05-08, version 1.2.4* For some reason I am unable to watch any videos, the one thing that pulled me to this app in the first place ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-05-03, version 1.2.4* Took ages to open up, made me think it was broken. App is hard to navigate. I got stuck in a video that would not load and I couldn’t return to the Home Screen. Poor UX. ### 1/5 — Unsatisfactory *2026-01-20, version 1.1.7* I have paid for a yearly fee but I can’t use the app. ### 1/5 — Lỗi *2025-12-30, version 1.1.6* App không xem được video để nghe ?? Báo lỗi liên tục ### 1/5 — treo đầu dê bán thịt chó *2025-12-11, version 1.1.6* đăng kí vip rồi mà mở video mục shadowing xong có bật được mic đâu mà ghi âm, lừa người. toàn coppy của trùm chinses, đúng là hàng fake k bao giờ đc như hàng real! ### 1/5 — Needs work *2025-11-16, version 1.1.3* The idea behind the app is great. However, the execution is not. The app is cluttered, slow and extremely buggy. The buttons don’t work half the time. Also gives you very little to no content for the free option and no trial to test before buying. ### 2/5 — AI bugs *2026-03-15, version 1.2.2* Too many bugs still, the quizzes don’t work, there’s only limited amounts of books to read and the videos are just others contents from YouTube. A lot of them already have subtitles and pinyin. You guys really need to figure out the quiz part of it all, make sure whatever AI generator is doing it to work correctly. Has potential, it’s still lacking a LOT. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 유용하게 잘 쓰고 있어요! *2026-07-11* 굿굿 ### 5/5 — App muito interessante! *2026-02-24* Adorei a proposta do aplicativo, era exatamente o que eu estava procurando para os meus estudos. Sinto falta da opção de colocar como idioma nativo o Português brasileiro, mas tudo bem, em inglês consegui entender bem É um aplicativo muito promissor, espero que ajude muito nos meus estudos ### 5/5 — Best app to learn chinese *2026-01-22, version 1.1.7* I purchased premium the moment I saw it, still loving it so much now. Practice Chinese 15mins a day and still get better at Chinese ### 5/5 — awesome app *2025-10-07, version 1.1.1* this app has a very nice interface and great reads! love the "ask ai" feature! it also has a smart set up for learning words. ### 5/5 — … *2025-10-06, version 1.1.1* Đề nghị lên gói vip trọn đời nhé ạ:( app hay quá ý mà giá thành ổn áp ### 5/5 — Best app in my opinion *2025-10-06, version 1.1.1* Learning Chinese so comfortable with this app ### 5/5 — Great for learning Chinese! *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* This app takes some of my other favorite Chinese learning apps and rolls all the most useful features up into one app. As an intermediate learner, I think it will be very useful in helping me get past the “intermediate plateau” ### 5/5 — Best chinese readers app so far, saves me with my Chinese learning *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* I have researched and tried out many Chinese readers, including Duchinese, The Chair Man Bao, this one hands down beats them all. Its very versatile, helpful, and has lots of interesting content. The video with detailed subtitle transcript is a life saver. I can paste a youtube video and it transcribes the videos, which is super nice. Thanks a lot developers! ### 4/5 — Only simplified chinese *2026-07-02, version 1.2.8* would love this app if it could change to simplified -> traditional! ### 4/5 — Phát âm ko chuẩn *2026-02-05, version 1.1.8* Tuy phát âm có hơi kì nhưng rất hữu ích, từ vựng phong phú, cách tiếp cận thông minh --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
