Solid app for learning Chinese. Has some great games to practice and it's very helpful and is definitely worth a look. But with the recent update the ads are too much and interfere with the flow of studying. Before they were reasonable and an example of an amazing free app, but now they appear far too often. Yes they will go away in the paid version (and I was gonna pay) , but these tactics of making the free version unbearable don't make me wanna upgrade anymore.

Hi James! Thank you for your feedback. Ads are the worse app monetization method, we agree with you. But there is no other way to maintain a high quality app with monthly updates with new content and features. We can remove ads on free version, but then we will leave app with no updates. Anyway, thank you for your opinion.

I have the pro version. I enjoy the app, it's good vocab practice However, my only issue is that I can't unlock the flashcards without doing all the word games, some of which take quite a long time as you are frequently repeating words and some of the games are just not so relevant for my study goals, pinyin, character drawing, and traditional vs simplified.

Thanks for your comment, Liam. In future updates, we will try to improve the algorithm to avoid word repetition in games. The flashcards being locked aim to encourage the user to fully complete "the word game" so that he can learn and internalize all of them. 谢谢!🙂

Amazing, you learn the most important characters. I find other apps are poorly focused on the wrong things at early stages. This app is supper repatitive and I feel like I'm learning. I find it helps to have a note book to write the characters down and to test yourself. 😁 I recommend paying for this for your learning sake.

Thank for your review! We try to make the learning experience simple and valid for any place any time! Repetitive process is one of the most effective methods in Chinese due to the complex hanzi characters. Keep learning!
