Ratings and reviews

Honestly amazing. The app is basically a pop up dictionary for reading, and it doesn't really have any bugs from what I've seen. Some stuff is preselected and categorized by genre and reading level. if you want to read a book that isn't on the app, you can search for it on baidu or Google. there's also a flash card feature that i don't use much but seems to be functional. i would love to see this app for other languages. That would be exceptional.

For people who want to try reading chinese not in a textbook, this is THE app. Pinyin can be on or off, and if you need to learn a new word you can just tap on it. Right now this is my go-to app for self-studying. Would recommend for those who have passed HSK4- most of the content requires a fairly broad vocabulary to read coherently.

its super comfortable for my sentence mining sessions! im even considering getting the premium, but honestly even without the premium its already plenty comfortable! :)
