Hanzi

I have really enjoyed using this app. I use a stylus to give me a more authentic feeling of writing. Things that I like: 1. It is NOT a tracing app. I have used about 10 apps that have you trace the characters. I find that tracing is not as effective for remembering the strokes later. 2. The characters are typed not painted. While I appreciate the calligraphic characters for their beauty, it’s a bit more practical to practice the types form. 3. The characters are basic characters that one learns when beginning to study the language. This brings a consistency since I am obviously not just practicing the characters for the fun of writing without comprehending the meaning. My suggestions: 1. I would love to hear the character as well as see it. Maybe once at the beginning and then with a speaker icon to repeat as desired. 2. I wish the characters were categorized into lists or that there were a way to save my place or randomize it more. I see the same characters over and over because they always go in the same order.
