### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-05, version 34.80*

I’m only writing because I would like help figuring out the point of the numbers after each word

### 4/5 — たのしい

*2026-07-29*

イラスト可愛い！ピンイン見やすい！

### 4/5 — Great 👍😊

*2026-06-14, version 34.80*

It’s amazing for a quick session and after committing to a streak it quickly became a daily habit.
I would open up the app excited to see what’s next to learn. I was learning Cantonese for my boyfriend. Great experience.

I just have couple issues to address:

• The app limits you to 5 mins a day which is kinda a low number, I think you should do 5 mins to extend your streak and then after that you can choose to do more lessons if you want to.

• If you are a slow learner like me sometimes they introduce a lot of words in 5 mins even if you are getting most of the questions wrong. In my opinion they should only let you move on once you have learned the other words. This will prevent confusion.
