User Reviews

This app is packed with features that I now find indispensable for learning Chinese. The dictionary alone has so many features, including the ability to search from a handwritten character to showing you the stole order to write it. The flash card system is really well written as well, allowing you to organize in great detail and manage additions and moves. It’s really smartly designed. The biggest weakness seems to be the optical character recognition; I’ve never managed to get this to work reliably from live images; you have to hold the phone really still and even then its touch and go. Apart from that, I can’t live without it 😅

This app has been amazingly helpful! As a native English speaker trying to learn Mandarin this is so good and powerful. It gives so many more details and information compared to translate apps. I use it as my primary form of review for flashcards, and the other tools like the built in pronunciation and stroke order are so helpful. For sure best purchase I’ve made. Amazing app.
