### 4/5 — So far best

*2026-05-27*

I like they keep simple. Tried a few others and the extra cartoons and animation make it too slow. Also can not stand having to unlock a level to proceed. Best way to memorize is to go back and forth on different words repeatedly. Only wish it would have both female and male voices in settings to toggle. Hen hao

### 1/5 — 收费

*2025-08-30*

### 4/5 — Good, but can be improved.

*2022-02-10*

I really like this app, but I noticed that the word for zero “Líng” sounded kind of weird. The problem is that it seems to add an extra syllable, causing it to sound more like
 “lí-ung” instead of “líng” but overall, this is a good app.

### 4/5 — It okay

*2020-02-15, version 4.4*

It’s great I love this app but it’s not amazing there’s only a few problems.You have to sign up for pro to get lots of more words but other than that it’s amazing!
