### 1/5 — This app doesn’t teach you

*2026-06-27, version 5.0*

I barley understand what was happening and all i see was the vocabulary dictionary. That’s not learning that’s copying in your head.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-02-05*

An extremely useful educational tool!

### 5/5 — Really good

### 5/5 — Helps

*2013-06-01, version 4.1*

This app is really helping me learn this language pretty quick.

### 3/5 — Chinese

*2012-04-26, version 3.1.1*

Looks promising in the small time I've tried it. However, it does not show you how to pronounce words with your lips/tongue...thus, it's paid version of $9.99 is unjustifiable.

### 1/5 — Novice

*2012-01-02*

Avoid. Freezes on the first page. This app is perfect for anyone wanting to learn just one word of mandarin. Or maybe you could reinstall it every time you want to learn a new word.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2011-03-29, version 2.4*

Great app

### 5/5 — Great

*2011-03-11, version 2.4*

I love the app
