Ratings and reviews

This used to be a really solid app, but lately, a lot of words changed from colloquial cantonese (spoken cantonese) to written cantonese (cantonese with mandarin base. The two are very different). Words like and, boy/girl, tomorrow, father/ mother have all changed. This distinction is not made in the app and will likely make things confusing for beginners

The app is overall pretty good and I like the formats presented. There is a significant issue though. I just finished the "Getting Started" section of the voyage and now any time I try to go to the voyage view, the app crashes. That includes at the end of any lesson I'm doing and often the progress does not save after completing that lesson. This makes the app basically unusable.

I've been using the app for a year. The learning model is great, but recently, several of the words I'm learning have the Chinese and pronunciation guide for the wrong word. It's very frustrating because I can't learn the words like this, and it makes the matching games impossible to play. Updated 2* to 1*. The app doesn't work. My learning track locked because one of the lessons is bugged. And starting a few days ago, the app switches to a white screen after it loads, so I cannot do anything.

What’s new

This update has squashed some bugs to make learning easier. Have fun learning languages!
