User reviews

Helps with everything

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

Very buggy on iPad

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

Easy to learn

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

Great relaxed learning

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.

Freezes

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