### 1/5 — Не понятно

*2024-10-09*

Здравствуйте👋 мне не понятно как играть😑. из-за того что иероглифы двигаются сами по себе 🤬,в начале вопрос на сколько вы знаете китайский язык и то спасибо за это🙂но после какая-то каша начинается 🤯, либо я не понимаю как играть либо эта приложение такое не удобное 

Мне бы хотелось научится в это играть😃.

Но иероглифы двигаются сами по себе🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Very buggy on iPad

*2021-02-25, version 2.17*

Fine for a few minutes then becomes less and less responsive, slow, and more buggy. Finally have to close program and restart.

### 2/5 — Freezes

*2018-09-10, version 2.9*

This is a fine app but it freezes up a lot.

### 3/5 — Last update awful

*2018-06-01*

It was perfect app till the last update. I made 5000 points per day (about 50 sentences). Now there is annoying popup after each exercise, which I cannot disable. It just killing my performance.

### 4/5 — Application pour apprendre le Chinois

*2024-02-25*

Manque le HSK on peut quand même apprendre des Mots IPhone 6

### 5/5 — Helps with everything

*2021-11-22, version 2.17*

This app is really helpful to learn phrases, it gets you more use to how sentences are formed.

### 5/5 — Все нравится.

*2019-12-29*

Все замечательно. Но только не нравится, что надо платить в несколько этапов. Странно как то🤷‍♀️

### 5/5 — Спасибо большое!

*2019-04-15*

Очень интересно играть, затягивает!

### 5/5 — Привет

*2018-12-30*

Это супер

### 5/5 — Easy to learn

*2018-12-30, version 2.12*

I found Twinkle’s approach of selecting words from a grid and have words learned start off blank help me learn. Was easy for me to pick up some phrases

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome!

*2018-10-22*

Being a total beginner I keep enjoying an uber effective algorithm helping me acquire tons of mind-blowing hieroglyphs like it is a walk in the park! Plus, it is budget-friendly! Kudos to the developers!

### 5/5 — Great relaxed learning

*2018-09-29, version 2.10*

I knew zero Chinese before playing with this app. The app makes it very chill and no pressure which is what helps the relaxed learning. The layout could be better but it’s simple and plain enough to not distract your brain. I haven’t had any bugs problems with it. Really good app. Schools should promote more relaxed learning like this app.

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2018-06-01, version 2.7*

Easy to use every now and then and learn stuff without realising

### 5/5 — Booster

*2016-04-15, version 1.1*

Good game to speed up my learning

### 5/5 — Nice

*2016-04-15, version 1.1*

Good game to learn some Chinese in my free time
