But, I think if there is note option will be more convenient for all, because of who are learning mandarin by HSK definitely they have different mother languages, so the can take note at bottom of the word pages. Then hopefully your application will be useful by many people. ### 5/5 — exactly what I was looking for! *2022-12-19* don’t get me wrong, I love duolingo but I really have been wanting something to practice vocab. excited to use these in tandem ### 5/5 — Very Happy 我很高兴！ *2022-01-04* Exactly want I wanted and was looking for! Thank you! 謝謝！ ### 5/5 — Best HSK Vocab App *2021-12-29* Clean, clear and easy to use. I love how simple the format is - very similar to pre app days of handwritten flash cards. Save unknown words with bookmarks and give yourself mini tests as you go through the list. This app definitely helped me get through HSK 5! Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Great and helpful *2021-09-14* I’m new to Chinese. This app is very helpful for me to learn new words. Thank you!!!!🙏❤️ ### 5/5 — Great Layout - No Sound on “Silent” *2021-08-20* Update: I usually have my phone on silent mode and the sound in this app does not work that way. When you turn silent mode off the sound will work! I really want to use and love this app. It’s got such an amazing layout and all the info you could want but the audio does not work so I can’t hear the pronunciation of the characters. ### 5/5 — nice *2021-04-07* very nice ### 5/5 — Great for learning *2020-10-07, version 1.0.2* Love this app. Great flash cards and tests. Helped build confidence for the HSK test . Thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
