Response from developer

Hello! So sorry for the bug. I released a patch which hopefully addresses this error, and this should only be a one time thing. Thank you for the feedback, I'll make sure to more thoroughly bug test updates in the future. -Archer

Big help

I learned ~25 characters in a week.

Best App for learning Chinese on foenem grave…

Masterful. Utterly masterful.
Using this app alone, I was able to learn and write over 100 Mandarin characters in only a few weeks.
The way it is designed also makes it fun and engaging to learn as well. Truly the best in the market and is free too! Such a generous developer. I bet he's a 6'2, fine white curly haired entrepreneur.
