Ratings and reviews

Simply the best for learning how to read! This app is set up brilliantly. It allows you to toggle between having pinyin and English below the Chinese text, preventing you from cheating by reading either of those first. It also has audio for each of the texts to follow along. I don't usually purchase subscriptions for apps but this one was well worth it. Thank you so much to the team behind this app, I feel my reading comprehension improving every day! ✨💯

This application is very good because you have a variety of very interesting stories and the interface is very user-friendly. I am able to look at all of the words in English and then I can use pinyin. Finally I'm able to listen to the entire paragraph in Chinese. This makes learning very easy. I also feel that the cost for the subscription is very reasonable. I feel that with this application I will be able to become fluent in a very short time. I give this application five stars all the way!

I would just rate 2/5, the reason (1) It's almost paid; only a few trials available. (2) The translation is not exactly the same in words as of the Chinese words or the context. Rest, the app is bug free with a good interface.
