The app strictly follows the latest standards for Chinese character stroke order and includes tens of thousands of common characters, meeting the lookup needs of teachers, parents and children. Stroke order and radicals are based on the "Elementary School Students' Stroke-Radical-Structure Character-level Stroke Order Dictionary" and the "Modern Chinese Stroke-Radical-Structure Character-level Stroke Order Standard Dictionary." All of the more than 20,000 Chinese characters supported by "WriteChinese" are annotated with pinyin, and users can tap the play button to hear the pronunciation. Features: * Take a photo or choose an image for text recognition to help you input the characters you want to practice. * Handwriting lookup: find the character you want by writing it by hand, even if you can't type Chinese. * New flashcards: turn characters into cards for reviewing and memorizing anytime, anywhere. * New vocabulary book: automatically collect new characters for repeated review. * New word list quiz: test how well you've mastered a list, with your progress at a glance. * After text recognition, automatically translate English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Finnish, Danish, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese into Chinese for easy comparison while learning Chinese. * Offline dictionary: look up characters you don't know. * Automatically save your input or text-recognition history for easy practice later. * Supports stroke order practice for almost all Chinese characters. * Play the standard stroke order of characters as an animation. * Practice writing Chinese characters; if there is a mistake, the app alerts you to the incorrect stroke. * Show or hide the stroke order to help with dictation and to strengthen memory. * Automatically annotate pinyin when you input any Chinese characters. * Voice playback of Chinese characters: if you don't know how to read a character, just tap the voice button to hear it. * Share your handwritten characters with friends. * Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English explanations.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 汉字书写练习 at 100% against WriteChinese's 25%. 汉字书写练习 also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). WriteChinese's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WriteChinese holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WriteChinese has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 汉字书写练习's written reviews are positive against 25% of WriteChinese's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

汉字书写练习 ships an update every 5 months, WriteChinese every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
