Ratings and reviews

There could definitely be improvements, for example, I wish I could make my own lists for the words I'm not yet comfortable with and isolate them from the words I am confident with. Other than that, though, this has a good list of words and is very easy to use. There are 70 sets of 50 words. And other grammar sets mixed in. But even without the intermixed sections, that's 3500 words you can learn! And you didn't have to find all these yourselves!

Im a big fan of the vocab focused approach that tobo uses for its apps in general (I think speeds up learning significantly). And they recently fixed the pronunciations issues for this Chinese one that were a pretty serious problem for me so I am very happy. They also added some new games which I like but dont use very often.

Quite a good app but I think it has room for improvements overall I'd like it to be more ordered preferably for frequency of use, other thing is that it has some little mistakes for instance week has a wrong pinyin cause it's written xīngqí (with a 2 tone in the 2 character) when should be xīngqī (with 2 first tones) and with some numbers it use 个 but with others not which may be confusing for new learners
