### 4/5 — Great concept!

*2025-05-02*

I've been learning Mandarin for a few years, and was primarily using 注音符号 due to the lack of tones on iOS 汉语拼音 keyboards. (I use both 繁体字 & 简体字.) This board is great, and I can type much faster than I could with 注音符号, haha! My one wish is that it supported for haptic feedback, but other than that, thumbs up :)

### 5/5 — The best way to learn Chinese character tones

*2022-01-17*

Using this app with Duo Lingo is the best way to truly learn the tones of Chinese characters. 

Using the standard pinyin keyboard tends to provide you with a false sense of confidence and makes it much harder to recall the tone of a character later on. 

I feel 10x more confident with my Chinese character reading and writing after using this app.

### 5/5 — Great app to learn Chinese tones

*2022-01-04*

I’ve been using Duolingo for learning Chinese and realizing that I have a hard time remembering the words. This helps a lot forcing me to actually learn how to write and the correct pronunciation. The developer is quick to implement some changes I suggested as well.
