### 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

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-01-19, version 2.3*

I want to purchase the full application but iTunes is unavailable.

### 5/5 — Good

*2015-12-29*

This is one of the apps that has soooooooo much without u having to pay millions of pennies or whatever, u get a huge amount of access to phrases very helpful for beginners and intermediate speakers. I recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2015-09-14, version 2.3*

I've downloaded the free version and was charged £1.58! How is this a free app?

### 5/5 — Perfect for the beginner

*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!
