Not free
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. Laoshi is a subscription-based app, but we'd still love to give you a fair chance to evaluate it before making a decision. Feel free to email us at app@laoshi.io with the email address you used to register and let us know what trial period you feel would be reasonable for properly testing the app. We'll do our best to accommodate it 🙂
Muy interesante
I'm irritated
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We understand that this setup can feel frustrating 🙏 We offer a free trial so users can try the app before paying. On the App Store, Apple may still require a payment method to activate the trial — this is handled by Apple, and we never receive your payment details. If you'd still prefer not to add a payment method, feel free to email us at app@laoshi.io with the email you used to register. We’ll gladly activate a free trial for you manually with no obligations 🙂

An AWESOME Discovery 🙌🏻🤩
have recently discovered an AWESOME app to learn and study Mandarin and purchased the Lifetime subscription 😍
What I enjoy of this app is that is well designed and structured, helping students to build a solid foundation for later on write and speak Mandarin correctly.
This app also allows to practice strokes in order to memorize and learn Chinese characters.
There’s as well a section for studying grammar in an easy way by grasping what I would like to called “grammar chunks.”
You can also practice pronunciation, which is a plus!
Please, give a try! You won’t regret 🙌🏻
BTW, they have one of the BEST customer service EVER!
Thank you Laoshi team!🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️🫶🏻🤗Leah

We’re thrilled to hear that Laoshi is helping you build a strong foundation for Mandarin, and that you’re enjoying the design, grammar, stroke practice, and pronunciation features. Your feedback means a lot to our team, and we’re so happy to have you with us on this journey. 🙏💛
Unexpected Charge
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the experience. Based on this comment alone, we’re unable to identify the user and investigate the issue in detail. It’s possible that the free trial had already been used before, which is why it could not be activated again. Please email us at app@laoshi.io, and we’ll take a closer look and do our best to help.

Writing Needs Improvement
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback — really glad to hear you’re enjoying learning Chinese again. We hear you on the handwriting performance — this shouldn’t feel laggy. We’re already working on improving responsiveness and stroke recognition to make it smoother. If you’re open to it, feel free to email us at app@laoshi.io with your device details — it helps us fix these issues faster 🙏
Confusing to use
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback — this is helpful to hear. Laoshi isn’t designed as a step-by-step course. It’s built more like a companion for serious learners — helping you build vocabulary, review with spaced repetition, and practice writing and pronunciation alongside your studies. That’s also why it’s called “Laoshi” — not as a traditional course, but as a tool that supports you between lessons. That said, we understand how this can feel unclear at first. If you’re open to it, email us at app@laoshi.io — we’d be happy to guide you and help you get the most out of the app 🙏
an extra star for the idea
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback — and glad you like the idea. Laoshi isn’t a freemium app like Duolingo — it’s a subscription product focused on serious learners, so most features are behind a paywall. We do offer a short free trial so you can try it first and see if it works for you. The lifetime option is there for people who prefer a one-time payment instead of a subscription — it’s not required. If you’d like to explore the app without starting a trial, feel free to email us at app@laoshi.io — we can activate access manually for you 🙏
