### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-06-06, version 3.23.2*

The ads don’t close and cover the entire screen rendering the app unusable. It prompts you to pay to remove ads as well which feels like a scam

### 5/5 — Aprende mesmo!

*2026-05-15*

Excelente!

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-05-10, version 3.22.1*

So many ads right at your face. Also very outdated UI and limited features

### 3/5 — VIP 혜택

*2026-04-06*

다른건 다 좋은데 VIP되라고 너무 강조 하는게 좀 부잠스러움.

### 5/5 — ฟรี

*2026-04-01, version 3.20.36*

น่าจะเพิ่มช่องเขียนฟีีอีกสัก2แถว 6-7

### 1/5 — English translation is total garbage

*2026-03-28, version 3.20.35*

The app is very good in all aspects, except the translation into English part. It’s totally garbage got thrown in there, that doesn’t make any sense. I wish the developers improve that part and push out with the new upgrade.

### 4/5 — Chinese stroke order character

*2026-03-26, version 3.20.35*

A great learning tool for both beginners and advanced students, very effective in learning. 非常有用。 学生们继续加油！

### 4/5 — I love the app. Would love a few more features fine tuning

*2026-03-22*

In calligraphy mode, it defaults to Mi grid，I have to manually select to change back to tian each time when creating a new sheet. I like that there are 3 different modes. But would be even better if there is a mix mode. Like a normal, mode 1, then 2 within the same practice line. Makes sense to be able to practice this way, with a sample character or copy, then practice on a trace, then write on a blank grid. Also need to be able to dictate a new line when entering the text. Now if I want a second set of word on the next line, I have to manually count the number of blank squares and enter the same number of times, before keying in the next set of new characters that will be used on the same worksheet. Also be nice in practice mode if we are able to use a different color for the character. Some studies show that there’s better retention and memory recall when the words are in red and not in black

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-04*

As a learning tool I have found I use this app over and over.

### 2/5 — Missing important functions

*2026-02-17*

Functionally pretty great, and I love the dictionary and books. But there’s a lot of ads, it doesn’t support the system dark mode at all (or maybe it just has bad design?? In any case, things look weird and are hard to see), and there’s no option for Yale or Juytping, or any kind of Cantonese romanization at all. There’s also no “back” option for a lot of functions, and the paywall is very annoying.
