### 1/5 — App only crashes

*2025-11-26, version 1.8.8*

So the app won't load. I downloaded it then went to check it out. Everytime I click on it the app tries to load for a second then crashes sending me out of the app. Doesn't even work and not worth the download.

### 1/5 — App crashing when opening

*2025-07-03, version 1.8.8*

I was using this app just fine a day or two ago but now it doesn’t open and if it does open it usually crashes and closes on its own. Please fix and update app.

### 4/5 — Are there only beginner Cantonese courses?

*2022-03-23, version 1.8.8*

Are there only beginner Cantonese courses?

### 5/5 — amazing way of learning cantonese 广东话

*2021-09-05, version 1.8.8*

There are few resources for learning cantonese but this one is good and straight forward. The only thing is i wish is that  the pronunciation didn’t sounds so robotic, maybe putting a native speaker. Other than that, an amazing app. thanks !!!

### 5/5 — Great free app for Cantonese

*2021-02-28, version 1.8.1*

So far so good! My Drops annual membership ended and so I wanted to see what free Cantonese language apps are available and was happy to come across this one. I’m having my kids (ages 10 and 8) use this about 15 minutes each day. I like how it teaches the basic words and then layers on short sentences to learn as well as the Chinese characters. 

Minor suggestion to the developer. If possible please make the text bigger for each new word/phrase that is introduced. This would be especially useful in the iPad version. Thanks!

### 2/5 — App crashes when I try to record the speaking

*2020-12-19, version 1.6.0*

I can’t get past 我 speaking part. Please help!

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2020-07-06, version 1.6.0*

Very helpful with colloquial Cantonese. Filled with fun exercises. ✨👍✨

### 5/5 — Don’t be fooled by first glance

*2020-04-30*

The ui is quite ugly and there are English errors. But that is not the point of this app. This is to teach Cantonese and it teaches well!

It functions very much like duolingo, a mix of types of exercises that slowly build up from basics. I like it! Give it it a try.

### 4/5 — Great lessons but needs dev work

*2020-01-12, version 1.6.0*

Pressing the record button crashes the app, and I’m unable to progress pass section three, even though I downloaded all the sections. I wish this app worked, as there are so few free Cantonese language apps.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-12-03, version 1.6.0*

Please expand the app and create more sections !
