Way overpriced

When I first started using these apps just a couple of years ago, lifetime access to the pro version was $15 - now it is $120! This price increase is exorbitant and the app is just not worth that much. There are so many better apps and websites available that provide so much more for so much cheaper. I would have happily paid up to $30 for lifetime access to this - but the current price is insane. And considering the free version content is so incredibly limited, not only will I not be paying for pro, I will not be using these apps to continue learning and when I talk to others about good apps, I will be telling them to avoid this entire series. Greedy, money grubbing, cash grab is all this is now. Update 5/4 - they stopped doing ad supported content, which means the free version has even less content than before. Reducing my rating to 1 star.

We understand your frustration and appreciate you taking the time to share your view. The \$15 lifetime pricing was part of an early launch phase years ago — since then, we've added a lot of new content and features. While the lifetime option is now less common, we offer monthly and annual plans that are very affordable — the annual plan, for instance, gives you 6 months free. As for the removal of ads, we did it to improve the experience. Many users couldn’t access ad-supported content at all, especially in countries like China or Russia. Now, that content is open for free — including stories, games, and basic exams — even without ads. Only lessons remain partially locked. We truly believe these changes make the free version more usable, not less. Still, we respect your opinion and thank you for giving our apps a try. 🐼

Dont buy it. Huge waste of time

Progress kept being erased with new updates without any way of retrieving it. Waste of my time and money.

We’re truly sorry for the bad experience you had 😔 This issue has now been fully solved to prevent any future data loss. We know how frustrating this was, and as a small gesture, we’d love to offer you a little gift to compensate for the inconvenience. Please write us at hello@khanjischool.com so we can send it to you directly. 🐯💙

Careful

This app is used to communicate by mi5 and or other organisations.

Warning. !!!

Response from developer

Hi de WaveRide! Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! 😊 We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the app. Regarding the color scheme in the word games section, we understand how the contrast between the green and white can be challenging. You might find the dark mode easier on the eyes—just head to the app Settings to activate it. Also, in the settings, you’ll find various customization options, like disabling the color of the pinyin, which could help further tailor the app to your needs. Your input is always appreciated, and we’ll keep working to make the app even better. Thanks again for your support and for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you for sharing your concerns about our pricing. We understand that price increases can be frustrating. It’s important to note that our app provides comprehensive content all in one place—including a dictionary, flashcards, Hanzi writing, lessons, exams...—which is a unique feature compared to other apps that may specialize in only one aspect but charge similarly. We also offer various subscription options beyond lifetime access, such as monthly and annual plans that might better suit your needs. Additionally, we regularly offer promotions with additional discounts. We value your feedback and hope you'll consider the full range of options and features we provide before making a final decision.

Se cierra la app

Me ha ido de maravilla hasta ayer, ya que cuando contesto se cierra la aplicación. No importa la actividad. Casi se me acaba mi mes de PRO, así que me gustaría que lo resolvieran a la brevedad. Gracias.

La app definitiva

Sin duda alguna una de las apps más completas para poder estudiar chino. Lo tiene todo: diccionario, lecciones gramaticales, juegos de todo tipo, frases de ejemplo, textos, audio nativo, escritura... es como la combinación de muchas otras apps que puedes encontrar, pero integrado en una única app. Se actualiza cada mes y no dejan de añadir contenido y mejoras. ¡Gracias por darnos esta herramienta!

Reporte de bug

Buenas tardes,

La app tiene un bug que hace que se cierre el juego cuando intentas acceder al significado de una frase que aparece en los juegos de ordenar las frases y otros juegos.

互联网

Please review the “write pinyin“ question 互联网, the answer does not reflect the APP’s dictionary.

Response from developer

The issue has been fixed. Could you please check if you’re now able to complete that question correctly? If you still notice any problem, feel free to let us know!

Algunos fallitos

En la app hsk4 hay un problema en el ejércicio de escribir el pinyin con tonos, la palabra 互联网 no se puede escribir porque la habéis escrito con mayúsculas en el diccionario y no la reconoce al hacer el ejercicio, también hay problemas en la app hsk 5, en el juego multicards no funciona nada

Paid and still No FULL access to content

Okay. This app has some nice features, although it is expensive. The picture flash cards are unusable as the images selected make no sense to an English speaker, it’s as if a 5 year old randomly picked the images.Y main complaint is that even after paying the exorbitant price, you are still barred from
using the content freely. I liked the app enough to want to buy Level 5, but 34.00 is ridiculous and, again, content will be locked after paying. Fix this and lower the price for level 5.

Hi, thanks for your review & feedback! First and most important, all the content is included on the PRO version, nothing requiere more payments. But, the Flashcard games are locked until you unlock some amount of flashcards. The flashcards can be unlocked in regular character games (Multi choice, Hanzi choice, Tones, etc). So, like any other app or game, some content/games requiere that you complete before other games, but it has nothing related with the payment. Second but not less importante! :) About Flashcards: some words are nearly impossible to represent with an image: prepositions, adverbs, special Chinese particles... but we do our best to represent all HSK words with a simple icon-image. No one have tried it, it is an insane work. But, as always, any Chinesimple app content is open to changes, we are hearing all users feedback to replace or improve any Flashcards. Indeed, we have replaced many HSK 1, 2 & 3 flashcards with new ones during v3.0 update. When the HSK4 v3.0 vocabulary cards will be released, we will also take some time to review v2.0 cards. Feel free to send us any card feedback to replace it, will be great: nihao@chinesimple.com

Great app, helpful devs :)

I’ve been trying a variety of apps since finishing Duolingo/Hello Chinese as these don’t quite cover HSK4 in its entirety and this app has been extremely useful for filling in the gaps. My weaknesses are listening and speaking and the recordings in this app are very good and have helped me with my pronunciation a lot.

The app gives you a nice array of methods to practice the language. I feel like it does a good job of exposing the vocabulary to you over and over through the various exercises which works very well for retaining what you have learned.

I did run into a small bug but after contacting the devs it was resolved in the next update. Really friendly and helpful, even sent me an email to let me know that the fix was in.

I also like that this app is a one off payment rather than a subscription like pretty much all the other apps. It’s a great companion to pair up with other learning methods such as watching/reading native content.
