Got a charge for no reason

Charged me a couple dollars for no reason

한국인은 못써요

중국어로만 되있어서 쓸수가 없네요 환불해주세요

애플펜슬 연동 희망

넘 좋아요 중국어 독학의 한줄기 빛이랄까..근데 한자 써서 검색할 때 애플펜슬 연동이 안 돼서 손가락으로 써서 검색해야 해요..ㅜㅜ이 부분만 개선된다면 완벽할 것 같습니다

谢谢您的评论 🙏 我们会努力改进。

like it

could be improved by:
- randomization button that selects random hanzi within course selected (e.g. HSK1)
- method to translate phrase in its entirety instead of single character by character
- definition defaults to always showing english first
- the "?" page does not move off of the introduction page (others not viewable?)

분명히 이름은 중국어가 아니었었는데

2년 전쯤에 깔았는데, 중국 국어 밖에 안 되더라구요

Character strokes

Apple Pencil doesn’t work on some fields. The execution order of character writing doesn’t follow transnational Portocol. But over all VERY NICE

bad searching

even though its a dictionary FOR hanzi you cant even use hanzi to look up words and the most irrelevant words show up if you use pinyin

한자 쓰기👍🏻

한자 공부를 시작한 초보는 쓰는 순서의 어려움으로 글자 쓰기가 힘든데요 ㅠㅠ 이 앱이 많은 도움이 됩니다!! 글자 순서를 반복해서 따라 쓰니 글자도 예뻐지네요.
조금 아쉬운 건 글자 쓰기 란에 한자 뜻과 음이 표기되면 직관적이라 더 공부하기 편할 것같아요~!

Thanks for your review! 谢谢!

Awesome app!

This app does exactly what I wanted it to do. It is a dictionary but it also has example sentences, other words that include that character, it also allows for multi-character words to be searched up together, and it has stroke order, handwriting practice and more! It’s really intuitive and easy to use.

The whole app is in Chinese as well which forces me to actually use my brain more.

A very useful app for both learning to write hanzi and pronounce the words/sentences

This app is very simple to use and useful. I found the feature to be able to perform hanzi writing for the whole sentence instead of wasting time looking up one character at a time. Another feature very useful is that you can press the button to hear the pronunciation of a single word, and when you search a whole sentence, you can also hear the complete pronunciation for the whole sentence. It solves all of my pain points. The pronunciation and the voice within the app is amazing, i dont have to switch to gg translate. Will keep using the app. Thank you.

Dark mode bugged

At first dark mode was ok, but after a while the drawing lines on character inout turned black, so it’s hard to see what you are writing when searching for a character. I hope they fix this.

Tracing lags and gets stuck

I paid for the ad free upgrade as I don’t want my kids to accidentally click on it. It was cheap enough but I’m disappointed there doesn’t seem to be any other extra features as a result of the lifetime upgrade. Tracing the character is laggy and the stroke doesn’t complete and prompt the next stroke consistently. Hope they fix this lag & inconsistency issue.

Fantastic App

I’m really impressed with this app, especially for the price! It has everything you need in a character learning app - pinyin, zhuyin, definitions, stroke order, and practice.

Where this really shines for me, though, is its collections. They have collections for all the major Chinese tests, but also for common textbooks used in schools in Taiwan! It’s amazing for my kids to practice with because the Hanlin collection follows exactly the order they’re learning from their school textbooks!

So happy I found this. Definitely recommend over the high priced subscription apps.

Background color

My background is black. How to set the background color to white? Thanks!

Response from developer

It follows your system settings, set your appearance to "light".

Good overall

Please add a feature to add characters to review collections and to improve touch sensitivity on iPad, otherwise amazingly helpful
