This app has immensely helped me in my pursuit of learning mandarin. With its ‘game-like’ approach towards language acquisition, it has definitely reignite my passion towards learning Mandarin(was starting to feel hopeless) If you detest the conventional way of language learning by sitting down and facing a book for hours, you should definitely try this app out. Memorising is much more effective when you are in a state of enjoyment. Don’t forget to support the developers who have devoted hours of making this app work. Thank you!

This app have been great for me over years since their first trial as free language app learning. I’ve bought its full access features this year for my convenience as they have improve drastically from last year i’ve used it, it is really helpful for my daily revision and study. Day to day use is great but I hope this app have an option to be used in dark mode for the healthy of users’ sight when on this app.
Good app!

Really good app that teaches speaking, writing, identifying the chinese characters and gives history on what each character means. Also has locals speaking the sentence that you need to familiarize so that you understand how the words are pronounced. Need to get a subscription for full access which I think is fair for what you are getting so if you really want to be fluent, its worth it.
very good app :)

Excellent app to learn Mandarin. Bonus point for it because it doesn't have many ads which makes it less annoying. However, there's certain time that the sound doesn't come out when the device didn't connected to the Internet. But overall, it is a great app. Thumbs up for the developer!
Fixed an issue that could cause the app to crash.
