Ratings and reviews

Very useful, but the interface is puzzling. Sometimes it vibrates and I have no idea why. I've figured out most of the buttons/symbols through trial and error, but there are still parts of the interface that mystify me. Still, it's a very useful app especially for tracking my progress and distinguishing between similar-looking characters.

I find this really useful to support my Mandarin learning. I've tried a few other Chinese flash cards apps but this one just works best for me. I particularly like the new 'confusing characters' mode - I've not seen another app with that and it's really helping me to avoid confusing those characters. It gives you a chance to study easily confused characters side by side (and gives you time to find a trick to help you remember the difference).

This is the best app I ever used to memorize characters (I basically managed to memorize HSK 1+2 in a single weekend using this app). Unfortunately, on my Samsung S21 Ultra, it no longer works: the back of the card is empty 😭 I tried contacting the developers, I'd be happy to support in fixing the issues, but no reply. Please fix it (and if you could add HSK 5, that would also be absolutely amazing, though I'd happily change my rating to 5 stars already if you just fix the bug)
