Tried the Demo version and literally learned more in that demo then I have in the last week of trying to learn with other apps. and I feel like I am remembering what I just learned. so I signed up for their premium+ subscription after the demo ran out. They offer a lot if different paid versions, I opted for the highest tier which was only 149. for a year at the max tier. They had options as low as ...I want to say 3 or 5 dollars a month? Anyway, I reccomend it. really enjoying the flow.

I've learned faster with this app than I would have with duolingo. I'd go as far as to say if you do enough lessons every day and even replay the course for a second time, you can become literate in the language. not fully fluent, but very much near fluency. I will say that instead of focusing on Pinyin so much, more symbol courses would be helpful. :)

If you’d like to focus more on characters instead of pinyin, you can adjust the display mode to Characters Only in the app Settings. We also have a character course where you can learn, practice and strengthen your understanding of Chinese characters. Please to try them out, and if you find them helpful, we'd appreciate a 5-star rating from you!

WAY better than Duolingo. I'm making real progress. I wish I'd done this years ago and just paid for it. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. High quality content, good progression, actual explanations, stories, podcasts. I am PAYING for this and it's exceeding my expectations and way cheaper than a CC class or something. I can't recommend it enough, just buy the premium plan as a beginner and do it 3 months, then upgrade when you need premium plus content to progress. Absolutely amazing app!
