Ratings and reviews

The app is overall pretty good and I like the formats presented. There is a significant issue though. I just finished the "Getting Started" section of the voyage and now any time I try to go to the voyage view, the app crashes. That includes at the end of any lesson I'm doing and often the progress does not save after completing that lesson. This makes the app basically unusable.

I've been using the app for a year. The learning model is great, but recently, several of the words I'm learning have the Chinese and pronunciation guide for the wrong word. It's very frustrating because I can't learn the words like this, and it makes the matching games impossible to play. Updated 2* to 1*. The app doesn't work. My learning track locked because one of the lessons is bugged. And starting a few days ago, the app switches to a white screen after it loads, so I cannot do anything.

There are a few errors in the app, wrong words, missing graphic. More importantly, it is essentially just vocabulary, no sentences, lacks meaningful connections to real experiences one might have in Hong Kong. Also, it should teach how to write characters, since memorizing the look of the characters without any attempt at writing them is really hard!
