User reviews

Excellente Application et très bon service client

Application très pratique pour voir l’ordre des caractères et les clefs d’écriture.
De plus, j’ai eu besoin d’aide après avoir changé de téléphone:
Le service client a été réactif et aidant. C’est appréciable

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.

Perfect app for learn chinese

Ideal for me. App has writing reading speaking training. Strong ui, convinient dictionary.
Please, add image tip to memorize for each hieroglyphic.
Отличное приложение! Очень хорошо мотивирует на изучение! Предлагает новые иероглифы, подбирает упражнения для тренировки с учётом ошибок!
Пожалуйста, добавьте изображения с советом запоминания иероглифов, особенного сложных.

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
