It’s alright

It’s a pretty straightforward flash card app. It works, especially for early learning.
It’s a bit clunky and the English is pretty odd in places. Clearly not proofread. But hey, it’s just flashcards

Really Great App. Simple yet powerful

I have been using it for several months and i always amaze myself at remembering those characters. That method really does the trick. The design is neat, clear. You can use it a long period of time before you reach a level where you need to purchase in-app options. The excellent review mode in the new version is what was missing before. Everything is now there to make it an enjoyable learning journey. Great job ! Congrats to the developers!
