Fun Stuff

I’m not 100% sure that the characters are translated into the most common English word, but still pretty fun.

Please send any corrections/suggestions for future updates

Won’t open and no tech support

Purchased but can open app. Tech support goes to twitter. Help me out and I’ll delete this review. :)

Response from developer

What is your issue? Have you tried installing on the App Store on your Watch instead of iPhone?

great idea and execution

very good idea to make this app, and it looks/works great! one suggestion, if possible, it would be great to adjust the font size. on my watch the English and Pinyin is very small. it would be great to be able to increase the size of that and maybe the hanzi too.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, note it was designed with the smaller watch in mind so I had to use smaller fonts to fit all the text in. I will experiment with the layout to see if I can make it larger.

Learning Cantonese/Mandarin simultaneously

I love this app, I have learnt so many new words from using flashcards everyday. The best thing is it can display both translations so I can learn Cantonese and Mandarin together!

Perfect for the Watch

Flashcards form a great tool to hone language skills and this app puts them on your wrist.
The app is beautiful and easy to use. Perfect for a couple of minutes to spare; perfect for the Watch. Highly recommended.
