It offers a variety of engaging content, from stories to articles, with built-in translations and explanations. The app is user-friendly, though some might find the content challenging for beginners. ### 5/5 — Good , could be better *2025-01-10, version 1.0* This app is good for learning Chinese and a little expensive ### 5/5 — Top *2024-12-27, version 1.0* Questa applicazione è davvero utile e ben progettata. Adoro il modo in cui rende semplice e piacevole imparare il cinese. La struttura delle storie e i contenuti offerti sono coinvolgenti e chiari. L’interfaccia è intuitiva e mi aiuta a mantenere la motivazione nell'apprendimento. È perfetta sia per i principianti che per chi vuole migliorare le proprie competenze linguistiche. La consiglio vivamente a chiunque voglia imparare il cinese divertendosi! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot log in *2025-03-04, version 1.0* The app logged me out and when I tried to log in, it said my password is incorrect. I’ve changed my password 3 times and it still doesn’t let me log in back. I had a subscription and all. But I simply cannot use it. ### 1/5 — Horrible all around *2025-01-13, version 1.0* This app has a horrible interface that makes everything more difficult than it needs to be there are so many better alternatives for learning Chinese ### 1/5 — It would be useful if it worked… *2024-12-27, version 1.0* Permanently breaks, had to sign up on pc to use on iPad. Had several other poor experiences too ### 1/5 — Poor signup process *2024-12-09, version 1.0* This app has problems with signup. It has told me on numerous times that the email address is incorrect or the password is wrong and this is not the case. There are many other alternatives. ### 1/5 — No content on sign up *2024-10-09* I’m not able to access any content. It says that new stories are released on Sundays but surely new users should have access to the last week’s one? One story a week is already silly for a free tier, I would expect one a day maybe? Especially for a new app that’s trying to build a user base, surely it’s too early to monetise ### 1/5 — The free trial is basically a joke *2024-09-21, version 1.0* For the free trial You get one story by week. Which is fair. However, after Sunday the “previous” story disappear so you can’t basically read anything… you have an app that you can use every Sunday, that’s not enough to see whether it’s worth it to upgrade or not ### 1/5 — FRAUD *2024-08-20, version 1.0* I subscribed. It explicitly says $9.99/month. I was charged $15! ### 1/5 — fraudulent charges *2024-06-29, version 1.0* i canceled my subscription in january and am still being charged with no response from the ‘company’. stay away. ### 1/5 — Bad Support and worse subscription management *2023-12-08, version 0.4* I found Maayot on Instagram. Signed up there, started with the free trial. Then downloaded the app and logged in, used it for 2 months now. Apparently the subscription over my credit card is not displayed in my app, I can’t manage it on the web and the support didn’t answer my mails since 5 weeks. Now I cant cancel it. Feels like either scam or wrong priorities to me. ### 2/5 — Good content awful app *2025-05-10* The stories and content are good! I like how it doesn’t display pinyin so you can practice but still have the backup of clicking the word to see the translation. However, the app is a product is trash. Constantly logs you out of your account and/or crashes. Front and center of the app is your ‘Streak’ but you can’t maintain a streak because half of the time the app crashes and you’re not able to read a story that day. You also can’t change your ability level in the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ottima app *2025-11-04, version 1.4* Ho utilizzato questa app per poter affacciarmi in maniera semplice ad una nuova lingua come il cinese. App strutturata molto bene e in maniera esaustiva. Guida nei primi passi per apprendere facilmente le prime parole. Continuerò ad usarla. ### 5/5 — All language learning should be like this! *2025-10-24* I am obsessed with this app. Premium is truly worth it. Daily stories with the right amount of challenge and personal investment has taken my reading to the next level. The stories are engaging and have the right mix of idiomatic phrases and general vocab. I now look forward to reading Mandarin every day! The three reading levels mean you can start off in any way and get the appropriate challenge - for example the beginner stories are not just ‘easier’, they are shorter. They also mix in 1-2 stories of the upper level each week, so you don’t plateau and can gain more confidence. The spaced repetition of new characters in different contexts (on different story days) also helps with learning new characters faster. You also save a lot of time not having to looking up unfamiliar characters - the app has an intuitive quick tap function to reveal both pin yin and meaning. Because of all this, it is light years ahead of services like Duolingo. With other language apps I always felt like I was just playing a game, barely progressing. Not having enough to sink my teeth into and feel emotional investment. Combine this app with a flashcard app to take notes as you wish, and you are set. The only thing I wish is that Maayot could become a language empire and do this same format, for other languages. :) ### 5/5 — Best app for learning chinese *2025-09-22, version 1.3* wow great i don’t even thought there is a app like this to learn chinese language in both traditional and simplified way it has both option in which we want to learn actually 6 months age i get intrusted in chinese culture and i saw their lifestyle, food, tech,tradition,infrastructure and espicialy in their traditional chinese language but i was confused where to learn chinese i watch several videos sign up to various websites but on these youtube videos or websites i can’t barely understand anything and when i hear about these i the i must try and when i use this app omg its very useful to me i use this app every day and when i study the lessons i can understand everything and now i am seeing improvement in my self now i think that i can learn chinese language vey easily and faster. ### 5/5 — "সহজে শিখুন চাইনিজ ভাষা" *2025-09-08, version 1.3* "চাইনিজ শেখার সেরা অ্যাপ! ছোট গল্প, অডিও ও কুইজের মাধ্যমে প্রতিদিন সহজে শিখতে পারি। ব্যবহার একদম সহজ ও কার্যকর। খুবই উপকারী!" ### 5/5 — Good *2025-08-11, version 1.3* بہت حوب صورت ### 5/5 — Super useful! *2025-06-20* I’ve been using the free version of Maayot, and even with just one story a week, it’s been super useful. The stories are short and easy to fit into my day, and I like that they come with audio and new words in context (not just isolated vocab). It’s a chill way to practice reading, listening, and picking up grammar all at once. It's a great app for building Mandarin fluency step by step! ### 5/5 — Mi piace! *2025-06-11, version 1.3* Sto usando l’app Maayot da un po’ e la trovo davvero utile per migliorare il mio cinese ogni giorno. I contenuti sono interessanti, ben strutturati e adatti a vari livelli. L’app è perfetta per chi vuole leggere e ascoltare storie autentiche in lingua. ### 5/5 — Great tool for learning *2025-06-03* I’ve really enjoyed using this app to improve my Chinese reading skills. The stories are engaging and the narrator speaks clearly at a calm, easy-to-understand pace, which makes it easier to follow along and absorb the language. I appreciate that it tracks my streaks because it keeps me motivated to use it every day. The app runs smoothly and the interface is clean and simple to use. One of the best parts is the quiz at the end of each story—it adds a fun, interactive element that helps reinforce what I’ve learned. This has truly made learning Chinese more enjoyable and effective. ### 5/5 — Excited to try *2025-05-27, version 1.3* Very excited to learn the language and it seems really easy to learn ### 5/5 — The Best Chinese Reading App I've Found *2025-04-19* This app is a great tool for learning Chinese! The daily reading exercises are effective, and the timed practice helps improve comprehension. Highly recommended for consistent learners. Would love more free content. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
