However, this app only does a barely-passing job at accomplishing that. The good: • This is one of the few Chinese calligraphy apps that take full advantage of the iPencil's capabilities, with both pressure sensitivity and angle detection. • It's actually a Chinese calligraphy app, not just a painting app. Indeed it's the *only* app that teaches you Chinese characters that takes full advantage of the iPencil (yes, I know its real name). Skritter makes a half-hearted attempt, but doesn't really count. •It has character templates you can put on the canvas so you can trace over them. •It has videos of how to actually create the characters digitally in calligraphic form, rather than just showing stroke order, something I've seen *nowhere* else; not in an app, not on YouTube, nowhere. •It includes various interesting bits of useful information and history in its Knowledge section. That's the good. Sounds great, right? Well, not so much. Here's the bad: •The interface design is…poor. Not abysmal, but nowhere close to iOS par. I can't list all the problems here, because this isn't a matter of making a few minor or even major tweaks; the entire UI/UX needs to be redesigned by an expert. •The aforementioned videos are small, not expandable to full-screen, and can't be slowed down (only speeded up). -Worst of all, they're *videos.* They don't happen on the canvas, but in a little window that makes the canvas inaccessible. It's impossible to watch the video while you draw the character. These should not be videos, but should happen on the canvas, where you can trace over them or draw next to them (and can be slowed waaaay down so you can follow along step-by-step). This is by far the biggest failing in a potentially very useful app. •The character templates that you can put on the canvas don't even show stroke order; they're just static. •While you can trace over the character templates, they seem thicker than you can get the pen, so my tracings never look right. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but that just further illustrates the need for step-by-step tutorials. •The actual painting feature is…fine. It's functional. But it pales in comparison to the Zen Brush apps. I've taken to trying to recreate the movements in the video with Zen Brush 2 open in slideover mode, which works moderately well, but at that point the *only* feature of this app that I'm using is the videos. I think what the developers of this app really need to do is create some sort of add-on module for Zen Brush 3, rather than create their own inferior painting app. ### 3/5 — App不能啟動 *2020-05-07, version 1.0.72* 我兩年前買了此app亦十分喜歡使用，但現在它不能正常啟動，煩請開發商解決此問題。 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-02-01, version 1.0.74* I really enjoy using this app to practice brush calligraphy. The writing experience feels smooth, and it’s very convenient for daily practice anytime, anywhere. It’s a great tool for improving control and getting more familiar with brush strokes. If possible, it would be perfect to add more paper background styles, like traditional rice paper or grid formats. That would make the practice feel even more realistic and immersive. ### 5/5 — 試用 *2021-12-03, version 1.0.74* 很方便的軟體 ### 5/5 — 👍 *2021-11-20, version 1.0.74* 這軟體很好用喔喔喔喔喔 ### 5/5 — 很棒 *2021-09-23, version 1.0.74* Good ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-09-15, version 1.0.74* It's good for practicing writing Chinese character. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 體驗很好 *2021-09-13, version 1.0.74* 體驗很好 ### 5/5 — 書法 *2021-09-12, version 1.0.74* 系統很棒 ### 5/5 — 讚 *2021-09-09, version 1.0.74* 好 ### 5/5 — Good *2021-09-06, version 1.0.74* 直覺好用 ### 5/5 — E筆 *2021-09-05, version 1.0.74* The app did a great job on writing for either by hand or Apple Pencil. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
