| 2022-02-16 |  | | I'm a Mandarin teacher. I compared several similar APPs and decided to recommend this one to my students. I like most of it's features. The biggest complain I have is the name. It is an APP for learning Chinese and I do not understand how it spells its own name wrong in pinyin. It should be liuchang, not liuchan. Also liuchan means miscarriage so it is a really bad name for an APP. | |
