Overall this is an excellent, comprehensive app. The grammar advice is thorough, with clear examples, but I'd like to hear the examples here too. Exercises cover a wide, useful range of vocabulary with both text and audio. There is writing practice. There are extra learning games for focused practice. I love the more challenging extended vocabulary in each section. I preferred the old video conversation examples to the smug new video presentation so I don't use that at all.

Best app for learning Chinese. Gives you the meaning of the Chinese characters, indicates the distinction in tone, you have to follow the stroke order and you can repeat as many times as you want with or without direction of strokes. Every time you tap on a character it is voiced so you can hear the tone and pronunciation. It shows your progress, "score" and percentile after each exercise which serves as incentive to continue or improve. What more do you need?

I've tried lots of different apps to learn Chinese, and this one is my favourite. The one-off purchase is really good value too. I really recommend it. You can choose whether or not to show Pinyin, so you can use it to work on reading (hide Pinyin), or just progress without worrying about characters if you prefer. There is lots of content, from lessons, to stories and dialogues, as well as flashcards and mini-games.
