Excellent tool

the only app I know that lets you to compare a character with similar ones, that is huge because it gives my brain mental map to distinguish subtle differences between sounds and strokes.
One thing that needs improvement is the sound quality, many recordings have background noises, some characters pronounced in a way that they sound misleading. For example, characters starting with k, t, p, f sometimes hard to distinguish.I hear “kong”, but it is “tong”. Though it is the nature of the language I guess, still it would be nice to improve sound quality, or even better to give variants of pronunciation, say, by adding male voice.
Thank you for great app!

The best 汉字 learning App!

I tried so many apps, and most of them just toys that don’t help wasting my time. However, this app is amazingly well made in terms of content, it gives you holistic view on the characters, you can see every character in the context of other characters, can compare and find the differences that alleviate learning subtleties hidden in minute details. I used free version for some time but then decided to support the dev, after all it’s one time payment, not like other apps that want you to cash out every month! I bought the app and was astonished how much more I was missing! Now I can learn by recognizing speech! Definitely recommended!

Generally ok but....

Please fix the widespread occurrence of traditional characters within sentence examples (even though the app is set to simplified characters). Thank you!

Love it!!!

I TOTALLY LOVE THIS APP!! I use this everyday! I really like how you don't have to learn words according to the prearranged lists; I just add the words I am learning in class and focus on those and the words I already learned.

A french version would be very helpful in college level french class!!! Would buy it in a heartbeat.

I did notice for 老 the punctuation is 'lao.....shi'.

It's fun and awesome

I love this app!! It has a ton of fun games that really help you learn each and every character. I've just begun and already I know at least forty different characters and it's only day 2. I'm having fun with this app. Also the different games allow you to learn from just the audio pronunciation, the written character or the romanized written version. Very happy with this app, it's a must get for anyone seriously looking to learn Chinese. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work.
