Ratings and reviews

This app is fundamently broken. You're supposed to tap on easy, medium, or hard to rate your retention of the word, but none of those buttons work. This means you can only ever review one word. And the one word you get to review doesn't have any sound. Given that Mandarin is a tonal language, the sound is extra important.

A nice simple app that allows us to quickly look up words and add that them to a flashcards deck. Exactly what I was looking for! 😄

It use space repetition to make sure what you don't forget any new vocabulary. simple and to the point
