Han you

This app is vary useless!L don’t like it!

Très dommage!!!

Très bonne appli pour ceux qui étudient le chinois, malheureusement il faut la réinstaller plusieurs fois par jour car elle finit toujours par planter lorsqu’on la laisse en arrière plan et ne veut plus redémarrer. De même si on l’arrête, elle ne redémarre plus. Il faut la supprimer de l’iPhone et la réinstaller. Heureusement les données sont sauvegardées sur iCloud. 5 étoiles sinon.
