Ratings and reviews

wont even let you use the app first without asking for subscription. i get it you wanna make money too but atleast let the user test it first

The app always proceeds to "update database" and this process takes forever or even breaks entirely. If there was an option to at least turn off automatic database update, I'd give this app five stars because it's the best one in the market for learning chinese words. upd. The issue was fixed. Thank you, developers!

Im so utterly disappointed: On my old phone I had the original laoshi app installed.. What I loved most about it was that it was simple uncomplicated & would break down each word for me into into its radicals. Now, it is this horribly complicated site with some mess about lists & when I look up the word, it just only tells me the basic definition -- and no longer provides the breakdown of the radicals inside the characters and word. I miss the old version. Can I please please have that old one!!
