Ratings and reviews

Totally game changing for me. I was struggling to find an app with pre made word lists, a nice UI, and spaced repetition. But laoshi does it all. it even has the new hsk 3.0 vocabulary. If you already know some Chinese you can swipe left on a word in the list to set it as known. Pre made lists for my textbooks and other apps? so useful.

I've bought the full version for a year. In terms of content the app is awesome, I was looking for complete decks based on my textbook and only found it there. Edit: thanks for response! It feels like I am stumbling upon new functions every day, you should really try and rework your new user manual. Awesome work nonetheless!

Update: They've helped me clear any misunderstandings, and so far, the app is very good for learning new words! Original: It says that you can try it for free, but every button guides you to the subscription page. I completely understand and would support the subscription. But why say that you could try it for free? Additionally, when you pick the yearly subscription, it says that it'll give you 6 months free trial. But when you click it, it changes to 7 days free trial. It's quite misleading.
