HanziDragon teaches Chinese characters through handwriting. One layer at a time — meaning, strokes, components, words — without overwhelming you. Currently based on HSK 3.0, with 950+ characters covering levels 1, 2 and 3. Each character unfolds in stages. You meet it, learn what it means, watch it being written, then write it yourself — gradually, layer by layer. How it works Watch the stroke order, with components shown in distinct colors — color codes make the structure of each character more visible Write by hand the way you would on paper — HanziDragon reads your real freehand writing instead of checking strokes against fixed positions Practice from memory with gentle hints that fade as you improve Get feedback on what went wrong: stroke order, direction, stroke count, or a mixed-up component (like 日 and 月) Explore compound words and pinyin through matching exercises Each character is practiced and reviewed enough times to actually stick — without rushing. Two modes Guided Path — work through characters in order, lesson by lesson Open Practice — pick your own characters, exercise types, and pace Try any level The free version gives you 40 characters from each HSK level 1-3 (120 total), so beginners and intermediate learners both find practice that fits. What’s included 950+ characters covering HSK 3.0 levels 1–3 Recognition runs entirely on your device — works offline, no account needed Native speaker audio Apple Pencil support, optimized for iPad iCloud progress sync between iPhone and iPad Simplified Chinese characters (简体字) Pro Subscription required to unlock the full library. More HSK levels are coming — content preparation takes time, but Pro subscribers will get them as they’re released, at no extra cost. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ A note from the makers We made HanziDragon because we wanted to find a way to learn Chinese characters without cognitive overload — one that respects how the brain actually absorbs new information. From the makers of Robokana, a similar app for Japanese kanji. Questions or feedback? support@hanzidragon.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HanziDragon at 4.8 against StudyNWalk Flashcards's 4.0. HanziDragon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). StudyNWalk Flashcards's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StudyNWalk Flashcards sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and HanziDragon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HanziDragon holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HanziDragon has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of StudyNWalk Flashcards's written reviews are positive against 83% of HanziDragon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StudyNWalk Flashcards ships an update every 6 weeks, HanziDragon every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
