Ratings and reviews

Best app I've ever used for learning Chinese. Not only is this the only app with real writing practice, but it has the best and most convenient Chinese-English dictionary I've ever seen. If you look up a word, like 編輯, not only can you look at that words definition, but you can see the individual words (編 and 輯) definitions, the pronunciation and definition of the components of those words (糹and 扁, 車and 咠), and the components of the components (like 口 and 耳 for 咠). Amazing for memorizing.

Its a great free supplement to Rosetta Stone or tutoring. It has many options for language flashcard orders, and with daily streaks, I feel more motivated to practice daily. My only complaint is that the pronunciation and audio quality is all over the place when it comes to audio clips. Some are properly pronounced. Some are obviously an over-confident, non-native student. Some are clear and audible. Some sound like they were recorded from across the room through a paper tube. It's free though

Would be one of the best except it constantly marks correct answers as wrong. It only happens in the sentences and can usually (but not always) be resolved by adding a space before and after the word you're learning. App maker is unresponsive to emails or reports. Such a shame. It's so good otherwise.
