I don't do reviews...

But this app is freaking fantastic! If you're learning mandarin, this'll definitely help out a lot! I do gotta say the organization in it could be better...but the content is couldn't be.

Superior app, very useful 
by r b w - Version 2.0 - Jul 1, 2013 (US -full version) 
I couldn't possibly give this app less than 5 stars! It is outstanding! These sentences are not your usual sentences graded by difficulty. They are the most useful sentences, and most useful mix of categories. The native speaker audio is indispensable, and spoken both at speed AND slowly. The word by word explanation is also very valuable. A suggestion: The text is just too small. it would be a big improvement if it were larger. Thanks for a great app!

Very useful app 
by Ali-Troy - Version 2.0 - Sep 20, 2013 (AU - free version) 
I have tried a number of learning Chinese apps and this is absolutely the best! The pinyin is very helpful for learning as is the explanation of each individual character in the sentence. My Chinese teacher was impressed when I surprised her with a few of the sentences that I learnt. Thank you, great app!

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2020-03-27*

I love this app, it is free it teaches me how to talk Chinese and it is so much fun to lean with this app you can try it it is very fun

### 1/5 — Not really good

*2020-01-27, version 2.3*

The audio doesn’t even work the words also have boring words and only two topics

### 1/5 — Very bad sound quality

*2018-06-25, version 2.3*

Very bad sound quality and talking too fast

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2018-01-18, version 2.3*

There are actually 7,332 sentences, with a lot of repeats, either word for word or with slight variations... so in terms of unique content, the app actually has 5-6,000 sentences. They’re all spoken by a native Chinese speaker (not a tts bot) at close to conversation speed, so you get to hear “real Chinese”. I’ve been through the whole list once. What I like to do now is to pick out a section and put it on auto-pilot, letting it read through the list by itself. It’s easy to pause and repeat a particular sentence as many times as you like. There’s a fair amount of colloquial speech, which you don’t typically find in text books. One of my favorite sections is a list of 106 food dishes commonly found in restaurants in China. All in all, a very useful app.

### 5/5 — Veramente utile

*2016-08-29, version 2.3*

Ascoltare e riascoltare queste frasi è il modo migliore per memorizzarle ed imparare a diventare fluenti in cinese! Spero che quest'app continui ad essere supportata

*2015-05-19, version 2.3*

These phrases are very useful for those trying to Lear Mandarin. Using a combination of this app, google translate and PinYin charts makes the learning experience much more involved and interesting.

### 5/5 — Glad to have it!!

*2015-03-24, version 2.2*

This app is extremely helpful... The listen then record yourself feature, with playback, makes it even better. Although you can start anywhere, the pinyin pronunciation portion is a great place to begin. Especially for learning in the traditional method by learning tones first! Worth the money for the full version!
