User Reviews

Du Chinese offers a rich, graded library of native Chinese reading with audio, pinyin, translations, and built-in flashcards, plus strong progress tracking. Users praise breadth of content across levels, intuitive study tools, and ad-free, focused learning that supports reading and listening improvement. Many reviews highlight value for money and quality of native readings. However, several users note UX issues after redesign—navigating and discovering new content can be clumsy—and a few report sync or login glitches. Overall, content and tools are excellent, with room for smoother UI and reliability.

Pros

Extensive graded reading content across levels with authentic native voices.
Robust built-in study tools: dictionary, translations, pinyin, audio with text highlight, and flashcards.
Strong impact on reading and listening with progress tracking.
Ad-free, distraction-free interface.
Good value for money and feature-rich subscription.

Cons

UI/UX redesign has made navigation uglier and more friction-prone.
Read tab content discovery is harder due to layout changes.
Sync progress across devices is unreliable.
Occasional login/verification issues.

Recent reviews

The monthly subscription is way too expensive and the free version is way too limited. I like this app but def not enough to pay for it. Im running out of stories to read and will prolly end up switching apps cuz i dont have access to enough things.
