Ratings and reviews

Super for my level of Chinese. 1. Information area. Long time I have looked for such current news material in Chinese. At last I have found it here. 2. Methodology. Repetitive audio for sentences. Ability to reduce speed of audio. Internally available dictionary. Pronunciation that can be switched on and off.

Already seems like an amazing app, even in the free version. The premium version is not expensive, the price is very good, so I'll upgrade.

This is an excellent app, with good content everyday. It helps me practicing my Chinese on a daily basis. Linking to Pleco is a great feature. I would recommand adding the possibility to set colors to characters based on their tones. That's what I do on Pleco and this is very helpful. I find the accents showing the tones are too small at times. A color for the tone would solve this issue.
