User reviews

Even paid version has poor coverage

This is a reasonably well designed all and has potential. What most interested me was the ability to create your own lists for exams and tests.

I therefore paid £7.99 for the full version only to find that critical verbs were missing. E.g. "To eat" or even "to be." These are covered in the common entrance ISEB level 1 test which is what I wanted it for. Unfortunately, without even this basic coverage it was not useful.

Interestingly, as Apple provided a refund and I no longer own the full version I couldn't review that. I didn't realise before that this bias exists in reviews.

Great introductory Chinese app

I used this app to get me started on Chinese vocab. Then I moved to the full app. It's intuitive, fun to use, and very effective in teaching Chinese words.

Tips for use: in settings, switch to viewing pinyin; in my focus, only go one category at a time. Mostly use the spaced repetition learning method.
