Such a useful and pleasant to work with app

Thank you, developer!!!
For a few years I am coming back to this app and found it so helpful to review characters.

Great for teaching

My husband is very visual and prefers understanding the visual breakdowns of the characters. He is absorbing so much better. Thanks!!

Good app, room for improvement

I really love the way this app explains Chinese, and it's a really good app for learning the language. However, i do agree that the app is a little ugly and I do want there to be more advanced lessons and tests, and also tests that quiz your ability to write the characters as well as read and comprehend. Overall great app!

The best, but room for improvement

The organization is excellent. In 'progressive study' mode, you learn characters based on their frequency of use, and have to pass a quiz to move on to the next few (6-12) characters. Or you can look up characters based on category without taking quizzes. In either mode, you get both basic and advanced examples of how the character is used in a phrase. There's also an index organized 'alphabetically' by pronunciation. The app would be improved by placing the traditional character (and the ancient pictogram, when available) in an obvious and consistent spot on every page. It would also be cool if the quizzes gave you a definition/pronunciation and asked you to draw the character.

Ok

Great if all you're looking for is simplified. Don't download otherwise.
