StudyChat Chinese is designed for you as the intermediate-level traveller who wants to become familiar with phrases from different situations. If you already know the basics of the language and you want another tool to practice with, then this is for you. StudyChat Chinese has been intentionally designed as a fun supplementation to existing study methods. There are many excellent resources for learning grammar and vocabulary.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StudyChat Chinese at 5.0 against Chinese Language Learning+'s 4.5. StudyChat Chinese also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Chinese Language Learning+'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StudyChat Chinese holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chinese Language Learning+ has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of StudyChat Chinese's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chinese Language Learning+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StudyChat Chinese ships an update every 3 months, Chinese Language Learning+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
