I am obsessed with this app. Premium is truly worth it. Daily stories with the right amount of challenge and personal investment has taken my reading to the next level. The stories are engaging and have the right mix of idiomatic phrases and general vocab. I now look forward to reading Mandarin every day! The three reading levels mean you can start off in any way and get the appropriate challenge - for example the beginner stories are not just ‘easier’, they are shorter. They also mix in 1-2 stories of the upper level each week, so you don’t plateau and can gain more confidence. The spaced repetition of new characters in different contexts (on different story days) also helps with learning new characters faster. You also save a lot of time not having to looking up unfamiliar characters - the app has an intuitive quick tap function to reveal both pin yin and meaning. Because of all this, it is light years ahead of services like Duolingo. With other language apps I always felt like I was just playing a game, barely progressing. Not having enough to sink my teeth into and feel emotional investment. Combine this app with a flashcard app to take notes as you wish, and you are set. The only thing I wish is that Maayot could become a language empire and do this same format, for other languages. :)

I’ve been using the free version of Maayot, and even with just one story a week, it’s been super useful. The stories are short and easy to fit into my day, and I like that they come with audio and new words in context (not just isolated vocab). It’s a chill way to practice reading, listening, and picking up grammar all at once. It's a great app for building Mandarin fluency step by step!

I’ve really enjoyed using this app to improve my Chinese reading skills. The stories are engaging and the narrator speaks clearly at a calm, easy-to-understand pace, which makes it easier to follow along and absorb the language. I appreciate that it tracks my streaks because it keeps me motivated to use it every day. The app runs smoothly and the interface is clean and simple to use. One of the best parts is the quiz at the end of each story—it adds a fun, interactive element that helps reinforce what I’ve learned. This has truly made learning Chinese more enjoyable and effective.
