I say that because one mini game that I want to play KEEPS MAINTAINING AND DOES NOT LET ME PLAY! Ok I’m 8 and does not know what that word means so if it’s a good thing I’m sorry 😥 but if it’s bad I’m keeping the review! ### 3/5 — Ehhh *2022-02-11, version 10.0* My first grader is using this for school and it works okay. It really should offer to save his login and password to make getting in faster and easier though. ### 3/5 — Great but some problems *2021-03-21, version 10.0* So let start off by saying a positive review this is fun to play to decorate your tanks and stuff. It kept on saying Please wait app is syncing .... it always pop up this every 5 minute! Like when I am in middle of a book it keeps on saying that and you have to wait 2 minutes ..! ### 2/5 — Good app larger problems *2020-12-17, version 10.0* This is a great app for people who already know some Chinese. The bad thing is that the app is broken. Just completely broken. It is constantly syncing and will turn your screen in weird ways. The developers haven’t updated the app for an entire year. The stories are great, but don’t really teach you much. You learn, then you forget. ### 1/5 — Laggy, innacurate, trashy and all around not useful *2020-11-12, version 10.0* This app is one of the worst that i‘ve ever used. The app is laggy as in sometimes when you click a button, it doesn’t even respond and you have to spam click it at least 6 times to make it actually work. Next, its really inaccurate. A lot of the information in the books is not real and there are a lot of lies, including quite a few typos. Next, you have to self learn chinese if you use this app. They just have you read a book, answer a few questions but thats it. So, this is the worst app ever and I do not recommend using it. Use another one thats better. There’s plenty. ### 3/5 — Great repositories but still needs improvement *2020-08-27, version 10.0* This is a great app with wonderful sources to learn Chinese through reading. However, there’s issue when you tried recording your reading. The recording control bar sometimes blocked the sentences on the same page. I really look forward to get this resolved ASAP. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Terrible design *2020-07-27, version 10.0* When I need to record a passage for my teacher, the recording box is in the way of the words. This makes me have to screenshot every single page so that I can read the words on the side instead of memorizing the top row of every page. Please fix this, it is very frustrating, and I expected much more. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2020-07-16, version 10.0* I got kicked out and nope,I did not hear any reading on a lot of pages and I really hope you have improvement!🤬😡 ### 1/5 — I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2020-07-06, version 10.0* Ok so ik that when you fish and you did not get anything 200 of your points go bye bye, BUT I HATE THAT!!!!!!!! DO NOT GET THIS APP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! PLS DELETE THIS APP ON APP STORE OR ELSE I WILL FIND YOU!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 3/5 — Where are my points? *2020-01-23, version 10.0* My points from reading books keep disappearing! I was finished reading a book when instead it took away points! It is fun decorating the fish tank but you need points to do that! ### 2/5 — Not that good. *2019-12-26, version 10.0* The Chinese book selection is great. But it’s just that the app is very slow, and it lags a lot. It is also very poorly designed. The app sometimes crashes. And sometimes it kicks me out. I recommend only using this app for reading by yourself, especially because of how slow the app is. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — VERY glitchy *2026-01-28, version 15.0* Very glitchy and when you’re glitched, you have to restart all your progress on the quizzes. DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BAD APP ### 1/5 — bad *2025-11-26, version 14.9* just horrible ### 1/5 — Soooo buggy *2024-09-13, version 13.7* Quizzes never render correctly and navigation is horribly done. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-08-15, version 12.1* Just bad nothing else. ### 1/5 — all you've got? *2021-11-25, version 10.0* WOW ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2021-10-11, version 10.0* IT always glithches+winter Let ME do quizes ### 1/5 — Just Horrible *2021-09-08, version 10.0* I tried for 30 minutes and finally I got in. And guess what? It kicked me out a minute later. ### 1/5 — I’m so frustrated using this app. *2021-02-26, version 10.0* I give this app a one star rating because it’s really laggy and crashes A LOT. This app didn’t help me at all. MOSTLY, just because I got two wrongs on book quizzes, THEY MAKE ME DO IT ALL AGAIN. ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-01-04, version 10.0* Very bad ### 1/5 — horrifying *2020-11-20, version 10.0* one of the worst apps ive ever used. the lag and the horrible design make it almost impossible to use normally. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-24, version 15.2* I wish I could let my fishes live but other than that it is great for reading ### 5/5 — YAY *2025-10-21, version 14.8* I love it! I hope that the glitch gets fixed. There are so many books! YAY!!! ### 5/5 — Love Chinese books *2025-06-14, version 14.4* Yay ### 5/5 — Idk wat to put here *2025-02-02, version 14.0* guys if you are mad about not getting in, then create an account.Ichinesereader is mostly meant for students who are learning Chinese. It could be meant for other people but you have to create the account yourself. As a student myself, the school makes the account for us. ### 5/5 — My school uses it *2024-12-30, version 13.9* It’s really good and it has a lot of choices to choose from ( I’m in a dual language class) ### 5/5 — EPIC *2021-12-21, version 10.0* So I’m a 4th grader and I like to learn Chinese (to me) it’s a bit struggling when u start lol. So this is the perfect app tbh it’s pretty much the only good Chinese app. Ofc I go to a Chinese school. I would really give this a five star cuz like in 4days already 68k points! (Not fake) I’ve been reading a lot. But tbh the quiz’s are a bit struggling when u first start. In 4th grade or something ur going to get like a lot of 5 question quizzes. ;-; it’s pretty hard. I even have to write it down for my homework like this quiz answers kinda hard tbh u also have to draw a picture u don’t wanna see mines it bad lol. So yeah I think this app is EPIC please stop putting hate on it it’s not that bad tbh. Idk why u guy(s) are kinda putting hate of glitches on this app cuz it’s really no glitches :/ well that’s it byeeeeeeee! Have fun with this apppp! ### 5/5 — Bad *2020-08-26, version 10.0* This app is good and bad the bad thing is that why do the questions have only 3 or 2 of them in easy levels? I want 5 questions in each level ! ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-07-28, version 10.0* It’s fun to use and lots of books ### 5/5 — GOOD app *2019-11-15, version 10.0* So l knew this app because my teacher told me it. I Really like the app even though it’s slow.The person who made it worked hard on it.what l also like is that it has a avatar.So l won’t say anything bad about the app ### 5/5 — I love this app but I want a few changes *2018-09-29, version 6.0* I love this app but I want a few changes, witch are: At the first of a month, there are 3 gift boxes, you get too choose the color, and the one you tap is the present you choose(please do not add points in the gift box). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
