I have many language apps and this one is my favorite! The games are more engaging (music, graphics, pace, variation in levels and subject matter...) and memorable than any other language app so I paid for in-app purchases- only now the app doesn’t work at all with iOS 11! Hoping to change rating of this app when it is updated! ### 1/5 — Please make available for iOS 11 *2018-05-22, version 3.3.8* Please make available for iOS 11 ### 1/5 — ios11 update *2018-04-16, version 3.3.8* Please update your apps.. ### 1/5 — Please update to iOS 11 so I can use this app *2018-04-02, version 3.3.8* I’ll change my review when you update to iOS 11 ### 1/5 — Need to update *2018-02-26, version 3.3.8* I paid for this app but I can’t play !!!!

Mind snacks made the best language apps I’ve ever used. I haven’t been able to find a replacement. ### 5/5 — I miss you! *2023-07-29, version 3.3.8* I miss this app so much. The Chinese mandarin version is incredible. Ever since IOS went to 64bit I haven’t been able to play this unless I dig up my old iPhone4s. Please update this! ### 5/5 — I miss you! *2022-07-08, version 3.3.8* I miss this app so much. The Chinese mandarin version is incredible. Ever since IOS went to 64bit I haven’t been able to play this unless I dig up my old iPhone4s. Please update this guys. ### 5/5 — i LOVED this app but it no longer works *2022-04-16, version 3.3.8* developer please update cause this was one of the best apps for learning i have found ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-06-17, version 3.3.8* Great but needs to be updated! ### 5/5 — Love this app!!!!! *2019-03-10, version 3.3.8* Downloaded it some years ago now it doesn’t work (sad face) hope it comes back better than ever. 🤘🏾 ### 5/5 — Please, please update! *2019-02-17, version 3.3.8* I love this app. Anytime I need to brush up on basic Mandarin I return to it. That said, I wish they would update it as it’s not compatible with any recent system. ### 5/5 — Great app - please update! *2018-06-26, version 3.3.8* I’ve been learning mandarin for 4 years now and this has really the best mandarin app I’ve used. I only wish there could be future updates or that it remains useable with the latest version of IOS. ### 5/5 — Don't give up guys *2018-06-02, version 3.3.8* I literally have not updated my phone because fifty percent of my telephone is this app. I speak like a ten year old Mexican girl, a three year old french girl, and decided to learn Chinese since everyone I work with speaks it. This is so much more effective than a bulky Rosetta Stone with a fifteen minute investment in every lesson. Duolingo is absolutely boring in comparison. Please fix so I can update my phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
