Please fix the videos/remove features made using Generative AI. Will redownload once these issues are fixed! 🫰 ### 3/5 — Microphone struggles to work *2026-04-02* The app is unfortunately laggy and the microphone struggles to pick up my words :( ### 2/5 — Glitch maybe? *2026-03-26* When you open the app and it starts giving you the tonal lesson and it says to repeat after him and say mā it doesn’t accept anything I say whether I say it right or even if my Chinese friend says it into the mic I think it may be a glitch but I don’t know. ### 3/5 — So much potential *2026-03-10* But some features don’t work very well, but the concepts behind the app are amazing. ### 2/5 — AI generated videos *2026-03-04* AI Generated Videos or weird processing artifacts, sadly not not lipsynced correctly. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work unfortunately *2026-01-09* The concept of the app is great. I really like the design and feel of it. Unfortunately it’s impossible for me to achieve any kind of progress. Whenever I’m asked to record my own speech nothing happens. Had to uninstall after just 5 minutes. The other ‘Chineasy’ app works great though so I am disappointed in this one. ### 3/5 — voice not registering ? *2026-01-03* I’m excited about the app/interface, but i can’t progress in talk chineasy because i (native English speaker) can’t seem to pronounce the word “hi” correctly, which is like lesson 2 🥲; is there a way around this bug or am i really that bad at saying hi? ### 3/5 — I am having issues with the drill mode *2025-11-16* It is not recognizing my voice neither playing the right sound ### 1/5 — Not much content *2025-10-05* Not Worte buying for there is Not much content ### 3/5 — its okay *2025-08-27* i think it'll help you with your pronunciation but as for learning it moves way too fast for you. I learn almost nothing from a lesson. You have to go back and study it yourself without following it. The lesson is mostly a quiz. ### 4/5 — The system seem good, but the AI videos are pretty bad *2025-06-08* Very unsettling videos, please get rid of them or animate them. The gestures don’t match what you’re saying at all. You don’t have to do everything with AI just because it’s possible. Sometimes simplicity is better than engineering. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t recommend this abandoned app *2026-07-13* Over a year and a half since an update, and all but the first lesson group are still “coming soon” after all that time! Better to look elsewhere unless they ever update this app. I would ask for a refund on the lifetime purchase if I could! ### 1/5 — Задумка прекрасная, реализация плохая *2026-02-03* Вообще не работает голосовой ввод с двух устройств, не идет запись. При этом пройти дальше без голосового ввода возможности тоже нет. Очень хочется пользоваться но не получается, очень жаль! ### 1/5 — No matter what I say my pronunciation doesn’t work *2026-01-30* I mirror the exact sound of the vowel but it still says I’m wrong ### 1/5 — Record feature does not work at all *2025-12-31* I really want to use the app to practice what I learn from Chineasy app. However the record feature doesnt work and kept failing to grade my voice because of that. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-12-30, version 1.1.4* Never registers my voice. Cannot progress at all ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 🤷🏻‍♂️ *2025-12-27, version 1.1.4* I love the original Chineasy app have have subscribed. I was hopefully for this one but just doesn’t work for me. It doesn’t recognise the pronunciation of the first word mā so I can’t use the app at all. I thought it was me being bad at it but I asked a native Chinese speaking friend to try it but it didn’t work for her either so seems like a bug. Please fix it! I’m looking forward to using the app. ### 1/5 — Major bugs *2025-12-26* This app used to work ok and now it’s totally unusable. It doesn’t recognize my voice so I can’t progress in any lessons. I bought a lifetime subscription and now can’t use the app. I’ve written the company requesting a refund. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-11-24, version 1.1.4* The video and audio content no longer loads, making the app basically unusable ### 1/5 — The app is broken 😭 *2025-11-19* I really wanted to love this but nothing works in this app. The videos never loading and the sound to hear the words doesn’t even work. I’ve deleted and redownloaded it several times and it still is not functioning. I tried to message the app support but it just says the page cannot be found. So frustrating. It’s a really great idea. It just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2025-11-17, version 1.1.4* The link for the app support page on the Apple store gives 404 and the app is stuck on infinite loadinf ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So peak *2026-07-06* Dawg this is literally so peak like it actually like corrects you on your tones and how you say things and it’ll even tell you what part you got wrong so it’s very easy to learn and also very easy to use ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-06-29* Chineasy and Talk Chineasy are the best Chinese apps ever! I love both. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-06-01* Learning fast and quickly other Chinese apps teach me things I don’t need to know, but this app starts with the import stuff such as thank you and no problem other apps use things you wouldn’t say every day ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-04-15* I love the Chineasy app, but it Chineasy Talk app didn’t work on either my iPad or my iPhone. I got in touch with the developers and they fixed the bug. Now I am enjoying the experience of learning Mandarin with the full Chineasy suite. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Talk easy *2026-03-01* Enjoying the app, looking forward as i progress in the course ### 5/5 — Speaking *2025-09-20, version 1.1.4* I think it’s a good app as it focuses on speaking, which other apps have less emphasis and my understanding and experience of trying to speak was lacking compared to my knowledge of Hanzi. ### 5/5 — Sobre Talk Chineasy *2025-07-24, version 1.1.4* Maravillosa app. Súper sencilla de usar, totalmente práctica ### 5/5 — nice *2025-07-17, version 1.1.4* Im learning chinese right now as a beginner and the two apps for learning chinese of this company are really helping me I think they are really well done with fun dynamics ### 5/5 — A relief *2025-06-19* This app is making it so much easier for me to learn Chinese in a practical way. Thankful for the creators of this app for making Chinese more accessible to learn. Duolingo could never. (Not with mandarin at least) ### 5/5 — Nice App! but.. *2025-06-02* App muito bom, parabéns aos desenvolvedores, tão bom quanto o outro app Chineasy, porem achei muito caro, inclusive para nós brasileiros. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
