Ratings and reviews

Well produced (high quality, professional graphics) and not annoying (why are so many kids' apps annoying??). My 5-year old spoke Chinese exclusively at home until age 2, but we slipped into English at home once he started preschool. Since then he's been extremely resistant to learning Chinese and insists that he doesn't know it. But with this app, he took to it immediately and stopped protesting about learning Chinese. It seems pretty limited in terms of content (strictly vocabulary recognition - think matching word sounds to pictures), not actual character recognition or any grammar/pronunciation practice, but it's a good start to build up his vocabulary and warm him up to the idea of learning Chinese again!

The contents we've accessed so far is ok, but the app doesn't save all the levels accomplished. So my daughter has to start at level one each time she open the app. We haven't reached far as she is only allowed 10mins of screen time... would be a lot better if accomplished levels are saved so she can learn more.

Bettwr than most apps I've tried. Lots of basic vocab and fun games, perfect for the 5-10 age group I think.
