About the rating

storeAvg 4.83, textAvg 4.47, 89% five-stars across 500 reviews. Gap is within normal range. Positive texts are detailed: "teaches pronunciation, reading, and writing at the same time," "explains tones better than Duolingo," "the built-in speech analysis shows exactly where you go wrong in tone." Technical complaints are isolated and specific.

Strengths

What users love

  • Depth of material delivery: every character is explained with meaning
  • Examples
  • And pronunciation together. The feature that compares your speech to a native speaker helps correct tones. Around 50 hours of content available.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • No option to hide translations for users who already know the words. The app freezes in immersion mode
  • And offline mode is advertised but does not work for some users.

Who it is for

Beginners and intermediates seriously committed to learning Mandarin who want to work on all skills, pronunciation, writing, and listening comprehension, in one app.
