User Reviews

User reviews praise TrainChinese for sentence-based examples, grammar explanations, and flexible flashcards; it supports traditional and simplified characters with component breakdowns. However, persistent UI changes, word-management friction, pricing model concerns, training mode regressions, and occasional login issues are commonly mentioned drawbacks.

Pros

Sentence-based examples with clear grammar explanations
Ability to create full-sentence flashcards and grammar-point cards
Supports learning both traditional and simplified Chinese characters
Clear breakdown of characters into components (stroke/structure)

Cons

Major UI overhaul has degraded usability, requiring more clicks and making some workflows (like saving words) cumbersome
Word management friction: history and lists have become harder to use; limited batch actions and more steps
Pricing model concerns: free limits persist with subscription; added lists and unclear value
Training features degraded by updates: cannot read long phrases, stroke-drawing glitches, duplicates in multiple choice
Login/account issues or inconsistent support

Someone did a marvellous job!

To be honest, this is a really good app. I’ve had it for many years and there are certain aspects of it that are even better than the likes of Pleco, for example. This app really excels at providing examples through sentences, and also very clearly breaks down grammar points. You can also make those separate flashcards so that you can review full sentences instead of only words if desired, and you can remember how to use grammar patterns that may be tough to remember (by making a grammar point its own flashcard!). I usually learn traditional characters but also really appreciate being able to learn both character sets. The customer service team has always been really responsive and I noticed that a previous bug that was causing the badge number in the app (that reflects due cards) to be stuck, even after deleting those cards, has now resolved. Keep up the great work!

I highly recommend this app for anyone serious about learning Chinese characters. They break down the character to an easy understandable components. You also have the option of adding hard to learn characters to a list where you can learn them later on.
