User reviews

Idk

This app is amazing for learning these characters. Not mention them using real people to voiceover so you can get a proper accent 10 out of 10 would recommend

Best app!

Your app is the best i've used for learning chinese. PLEASE, make it longer than 500 levels!

Canceled subscription within 4 days

Not all characters introduced are available for review. Pictures representing characters (a selling point for this app) often relate poorly with the character. Some quiz questions are dead wrong and there is no place to report it. Quizzes and reviews don’t always give the correct answer and pronunciation and don’t let you correct yourself immediately so you have to go back and dig for the answer. Pronunciation check is useless except for the fact you say it out loud even if incorrect. Pronunciation is mostly given when introduced but there is no instruction on how to pronounce vowels unique to the language with tongue, breath and lip position

Glitch 07/10/2026: cannot get app to work

Hi developers- the app takes me to lesson 23 then won’t let me scroll back to lesson 1 to start using the app :/
I’ve deleted and re-loaded a couple of times and still having the same issue

Kind of ripped off

Why did I pay for a year subscription when the Talk Chineasy app does everything this app tries to accomplish and with more tools to learn Chinese? The other app teaches pronunciation of letters, shows the character and translations, as well as the pronunciations of words. This app has bugs in it that have not been addressed for a while. It hasn’t received any updates or new features in a long time. Pretty flash cards sums it up.
