## What is Maibo. Chinese Radicals?

My name is Maxim (first photo). I've been a Chinese linguist for 17 years.
At my company, I head Chinese partnerships and am a minority shareholder in one of Russia's top 3 electrical engineering firms.

I struggled with graphemes myself. So I built this app for maximum comfort — a companion for learners and a cheat sheet for the advanced.

Chinese has no alphabet. But it has graphemes — the building blocks of every character.

Maibo reveals the skeleton of each character. And gives you control:
— Replace boring images with your own photos
— Edit translations (different textbooks call the same radical differently)
— Watch stroke order animations with native audio
— Test yourself in language or photo mode

No subscription. No ads.
An app that obeys you, not the textbook.

## Key features

- Customizable image replacements
- Editable translations
- Stroke order animations
- Native audio pronunciation
- Language testing mode
- Photo testing mode

## Pricing and in-app purchases

Base price: $8.99.
