User reviews

Cool concept!

Really cool idea. Very good supplement to my learning

Love this app!

Makes learning Chinese super easy, especially for someone like myself who is too ADHD and busy to use Duolingo and other apps.

A hidden gem!

I have been super on and off with language learning but the widgets make learning a few words very passive. The little buddy is cute too. I’ll see how far I get with my learning

really cool idea

i've never been consistent with learning and duolingo doesn't teach me anything, but this app has helped me absorb a lot
