Retention is hard without context. The videos are nice but there isnt a video per character. I find that with this app i can barely recall the characters. Also the free version promises certain amount of swipes per day, but it seems like the counter isnt working well as the limit is reached after only a few swipes. Tried to like it but the free version is too limited, and the method imo isnt worth the price.

Hello Roy, sorry to see you disappoited with the app... Free version is 20 swipes/day everyday. Also, you can have 3 days or 7 days trial of the full version for free. Each video is about 3-5 characters. I find that grouping characters by family helps with memorisation. You can watch the video again if you need. question? [email protected]

你好! In my opinion, this is a truly exceptional app for learning Chinese, HSK levels as well as the radicals. I think the critiques given it in other reviews are mostly, even entirely from the ones I have read, unfair. I have a few suggestions and bugs I'd like to address in an email. Oh, and it is a shame there is no computer version. I could work a lot faster with a real keyboard and added functionality/features!

Best thing about the app is the video explanation if working to help you try to recall and understand the drawn character meaning of words are vague. The hsk free apps gives you the same flashcard systems without the pictures. The price modelling is inconsistent. I have used it on trial and paid for a month on iPad this are my conclusion. Rating is based on the inconsistency the app is unique but could do with more for that price. Perhaps a phrase flashcards anything to tempt buying a lifetime.
