Unable to Use App
Due to the iPhone handwriting feature only being accessible by tilting the phone on its side, and this app that does not tilt when doing so... It is impossible to use this app sadly. Very disappointed.
Very helpful
I have really enjoyed using this app. I use a stylus to give me a more authentic feeling of writing.
Things that I like:
1. It is NOT a tracing app. I have used about 10 apps that have you trace the characters. I find that tracing is not as effective for remembering the strokes later.
2. The characters are typed not painted. While I appreciate the calligraphic characters for their beauty, it’s a bit more practical to practice the types form.
3. The characters are basic characters that one learns when beginning to study the language. This brings a consistency since I am obviously not just practicing the characters for the fun of writing without comprehending the meaning.
My suggestions:
1. I would love to hear the character as well as see it. Maybe once at the beginning and then with a speaker icon to repeat as desired.
2. I wish the characters were categorized into lists or that there were a way to save my place or randomize it more. I see the same characters over and over because they always go in the same order.

Great for Learning
Great for young kids learning to type Chinese characters on iPhone.
