Pricing = extortion but content is well done
The content is good overall, very well structured, games are fun, I made some progress.
However, the Chinese person they use for the audio voice is terrible, her accent is hard to understand at times, she even mispronounces some words.
Hence overall a 3 star rating.
I’ve found better resources that use a more ETHICAL pricing.

Hi Alex, thank you for recognising the quality of the content, the course structure and the games. We’re glad you made progress during your six months with PRO, and we’re sorry the offers left you feeling pressured. We’d like to clarify how our pricing works. Each plan has a regular price, with discounts available through two types of promotion: • Calendar promotions run on selected days each month, usually around Chinese festivals or occasions such as Black Friday, Christmas and New Year. These are planned annually, and the discount varies by event. • In-app promotions are linked to particular learning milestones or usage. Completing content that involves more study may trigger a larger discount, while another activity may trigger a smaller one. Their order depends on how you use the app. Declining an offer does not increase the regular price or trigger a more expensive offer as a penalty. You may encounter different discounts in a different order, or see the regular price once a promotion ends. We understand, however, how seeing $11, then $15, then $19 could give exactly that impression. Your feedback makes clear that we need to explain the relationship between regular prices and temporary offers more clearly. Regarding the audio, our recordings are produced with native speakers from Beijing. We take pronunciation concerns seriously: if a particular word sounds incorrect or unclear, you can report it directly from its entry in the app, or send the example to hello@khanjischool.com so we can review the recording. Thank you for explaining your experience so thoroughly. We respect your decision to cancel, and we’ll take your comments about the presentation of offers into account.
Très bon outil

Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe retour ! 🐯 Nous sommes ravis que Chinesimple vous soit utile pour réviser le vocabulaire et que la rubrique « Histoires » vous plaise particulièrement. Ces histoires ont justement été conçues pour faire vivre les mots dans un contexte naturel : elles permettent de travailler la compréhension, d’observer la construction des phrases et de consolider le vocabulaire autrement qu’avec des exercices isolés. C’est un vrai plaisir de savoir qu’elles remplissent leur mission ! Nous vous souhaitons encore beaucoup de belles découvertes et de progrès en chinois 📚 加油!

Спасибо за ваш отзыв и за то, что раньше пользовались приложением. Мы понимаем ваше разочарование. За приложением стоит большая команда людей, которые каждый месяц создают и обновляют контент: слова, примеры, аудио с носителями языка, игры и новые функции. Поэтому мы можем предложить часть контента бесплатно, чтобы вы могли оценить, подходит ли вам приложение, но, к сожалению, предоставлять всё бесплатно невозможно. Это просто не было бы устойчиво, и такие приложения со временем перестали бы существовать. Нам жаль, что ваша оценка отражает это недовольство, так как, на наш взгляд, она не передаёт реальной ценности и объёма контента, который мы предлагаем. Тем не менее, мы уважаем ваше мнение. Желаем вам удачи на пути изучения этого прекрасного языка.
