### 4/5 — Amazing for beginners

*2025-03-23, version 1.6.9*

I’ve been searching for some free apps to learn Chinese for a while and I found this! I use Duolingo, flashcards and LingoLegend but I used to use HelloChinese as well. Last month, I ran into a paywall with it so I stopped using it and tried to find apps to learn Chinese for free. I found this and it’s amazing! Sadly, it has only beginner content and isn’t aligned with HSK yet. I hope to see more content added soon. And if possible, how many words are taught in the course?

### 5/5 — Great value

*2025-02-21*

This is the best free app I ever found for studying Mandarin. I truly hope they continue to release more content. I like it a lot.

### 5/5 — So far the best

*2024-09-07*

Its really a cool app to use, Helps me understand a little better. Currently taking a Chinese class, this is great. I love the information on grammar tips at the beginning of the chapters and the writing portion for words.

### 5/5 — awesome resource for beginners!

*2024-02-11*

i’m just now starting mandarin and it’s been so hard to find all-in-one resources (especially for finding apps that switch between simplified and traditional chinese.) i’m hoping for new content soon! great app 😊

### 3/5 — Its ok

*2023-07-27, version 1.6.9*

I think its far better than the other chinese learning apps. However the style looks like duolingo but the real reason why i rated this 3 stars is because you are forced to write your answers exactly how the answer is shown even though the answer isnt 100% accurate. This is because i dislike getting told how to speak my own language. 2nd of all, the courses are quite short and i did 240 stars in less than an hour and you are expecting less than 50 a day? Its probably to make the course look bigger than it really is because real chinese people would study without end. Not a bad start and better than others there are but still can be fustrating + revising old material isnt really an option. That would be study

### 4/5 — Great so far

*2022-03-26*

I wish they had the traditional pinyin. Also, I wish they tested students’ written knowledges as well as options. But thankful for this app.

### 5/5 — This app is good

*2021-08-04, version 1.3.1*

Can you add more courses in Mandarin please

### 5/5 — Desmond

*2021-04-13, version 1.0.2*

Wow, at last an easy, fun to use app to learn Chinese. Love it !!
