### 1/5 — App does not start consistently

*2026-01-22, version 2.1.1*

My daughter is in an immersion program and needs to use this app daily. I need to delete and reinstall the app EVERY SINGLE TIME I open it as it doesn’t load and start up properly and gives a background screen with no options. Even closing the app and reopening does not work!

### 1/5 — Really really REALLY BAD

*2025-01-09, version 2.1.1*

Have to download again every time I want to use it. Also, the sentence and the reading are constantly, almost always mixed up. The “reader” is sometimes broken in the fact that the red signal just stops at the beginning while the audio plays last page’s sound. The beginning of sentences’s audio is so distorted that “chuang tong” sounds like “huang pu”.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-04-29, version 2.1.1*

It is good but there are some problems

### 1/5 — Pinyin

*2024-04-24, version 2.1.1*

Something happened with the app - you can’t see pinyin anymore - it’s behind the characters in Reader and Vocabulary builder.

### 1/5 — No open

*2024-03-15, version 2.1.0*

I can’t open it anymore.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

### 4/5 — Need good reading material

*2020-09-16, version 1.0.13*

People who learn Chinese not only for the characters and vocabulary, but also for the culture. If the app could provide the chance with some classic poems or elegant literature, that would benefit for the user improve their ability to enjoy the essence of Chinese culture.

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!!

*2020-03-20, version 1.0.11*

My dad bought this game and I love it cause I can turn on the pinyin.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2019-09-11, version 1.0.9*

This does' work

### 1/5 — Canvas size

*2019-09-03, version 1.0.9*

Cannot change canvas to full screen.
