Jinshu is a level-aware EPUB reader designed for English language learners. Import any English book, see whether it is Comfort, Good Challenge, or Hard for your current level, then read with automatic vocabulary annotations — translations appear right where you need them, filtered to your proficiency level. Smart Vocabulary Annotations Words are automatically annotated with translations in Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. Choose your display style: ruby text above words, inline parentheses, or tap-to-reveal. Set your CEFR level (A1–C2), preview repeated above-level words before reading, and only see vocabulary appropriate for your stage. Tap to Pronounce & Listen Tap any annotated word to hear it spoken aloud and see a small IPA tip; open the full detail only when you want translation, replay, and vocabulary actions. Or let the app read entire chapters aloud with sentence highlighting, adjustable speed, sleep timer, and background playback. Works completely offline. A Reader You'll Actually Enjoy Five reading themes (Light, Sepia, Dark, Calm, Slate), adjustable fonts, spacing, margins, and text alignment. Everything updates instantly — no reload needed. Platform-native fonts: Charter, New York, Palatino, and more on iOS. Import your own .ttf or .otf fonts for a fully personalized reading experience. Vocabulary That Comes From Your Reading Saved words keep the original sentence from the chapter where you met them. A "From Reading" queue surfaces words you've actually encountered, ranked by how often they came up in your last 30 days of reading. FSRS-based review cards turn that queue into a small daily review — no curriculum, no frequency list, just your books. Your Library, Organized A smart bookshelf that puts your current read front and center. Organize books into collections, search by title or author, sort by recent, title, or author. Track your reading streaks and daily reading time. Home Screen widgets surface a daily word, a random highlight, or due reviews without opening the app. Highlights & Bookmarks Select text to highlight in five colors with two styles. Add notes to any highlight. Bookmark pages and jump back to them anytime. Search within chapters to find what you're looking for. Built-in Dictionary ~30,000 English words with CEFR levels, IPA pronunciation, and translations in three languages. No internet required for the bundled dictionary — everything works offline.

About

TradeLearn

Features
Read full description

TradeLearn is a structured trading-education course that breaks trading into lessons you can practice, look up and review. It teaches methods and market mechanics so you can read the market and control risk. It does not recommend any stock, does not give trading signals, and does not promise any returns. Note: the course content is in Simplified Chinese. COURSES - Trader Training Handbook: starts from "what is a trade" and moves through market mechanics, candlesticks and structure, trading plans, stops and position sizing, reviews and trading psychology, chapter by chapter. - Price Action: from market context down to the single bar. Each lesson answers one chart-reading question and replays real historical charts bar by bar, showing both the cases that work and the ones that fail. HOW YOU LEARN - Animated lessons: every lesson opens with a narrated animation you can pause, step through and speed up. - Full explanations: diagrams, real market examples, choice exercises and action cards. - Quizzes: question sets by topic, each with a detailed explanation. - Practice drills: questions built from historical charts. Make your call first, then see what actually happened next. LEARNING TOOLS - Continue where you left off, a daily suggestion, your learning streak and lessons this week. - Completion progress for every chapter. - Four text sizes and dark mode. - Share any lesson with a poster. ACCOUNT Lessons marked as trial and all practice content can be used without signing in. Existing TradeLearn users can sign in with email or phone number and password to view the lessons on their account. You can delete your account in the app at any time. DISCLAIMER TradeLearn provides education about trading methods only. Nothing in the app is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security, futures contract, currency or other financial product. Examples and data are for illustration; past performance does not indicate future results. Trading involves risk, and leveraged trading can lose more than your initial capital. Every trading decision is your own.
