User reviews

Good, but room for improvements

Purchased a subscription, and my main thoughts are that this app is a good proof of concept, but missing some key features that would make it stand out, especially when compared to free apps like Hanly Chinese.

1. When making a personal deck, I can’t customize the order of the cards.

2. The flashcards would be greatly improved if they included TTS one of the example sentences in the database.

3. There should be a “skip character” feature for multi character writing tests. I should also be able to hit mastered card during flashcards reviews.

4. Enable mastered for certain categories, for example allow me to hit mastered for pronunciation only instead of the whole character.

5. Enable user created custom sentences that users can add to the flashcard.

6. Bonus idea: Allow users to add their own custom images to the flashcards stored on device.

Sprachausgabe

Die App ist sehr gut zum lernen, allerdings könnte die Sprachausgabe etwas realistischer sein, sodass man auch die Betonung der einzelnen Wörter besser lernen kann. An dieser stelle sollte noch etwas nachgebessert werden, um eine natürliche und realistische Aussprache unter Berücksichtigung der einzelnen Töne zu bekommen

I don’t know why more people don’t use this!!

This is an easy-to-use app with a simple interface that has plenty of pre-made lists of words to learn. I love the new interface and how friendly it looks. Although you have to get premium fou some features it very cheap and worth the little money of it does cost!

Super mix die Vokabeln zu lernen

Ob Schreiben, Aussprache, Übersetzung, alles super.
