## Review summary

Users praise the app for fast performance and overall usefulness, with stroke order guidance as a notable feature. The main drawbacks are handwriting input lag with Apple Pencil, UI readability and theme-customization issues, monetization/frustrations over paywalls, and occasional crashes on older devices.

### Pros

- Fast performance and responsive input experience.
- Generally helpful and well-liked for learning Hanzi.
- Stroke order guidance feature, including Spanish localization.

### Cons

- Inconsistent handwriting input with Apple Pencil (lag, incomplete strokes, reliability issues).
- UI/readability problems in dark mode and limited background customization.
- Monetization/paywall concerns: not free to view most words and the ad-free upgrade offers little extra value.
- Compatibility issues on older iPadOS devices (crashes/update problems).
