Ratings and reviews

Constantly crashing. Edit 2 years later: Two years later, still constantly crashing. App is an absolute disaster. Use their web browser on the PC. More edits months later: app doesn't even open anymore. It's a shame. The chinese learning content is good but the app is a 0/10. More months later: app still doesn't even open, even on a new phone. Edit again: 3 different phones over 3 years, app has never really worked for me. It doesn't even load.

One of my ALL TIME favorite places to learn Chinese! but the option for "Traditional Characters" is grayed out. so minus some points. I logged into the website and changed my preference to Traditional, and logged back into the app, but the characters are still simplified under the "expansion" area for each audio. Also, the "player" for audio is glitchy. I wish there was a normal notification, constantly docked in the app, and in the system's notification panel.

A good website with good lessons. Very, very unreliable Android app. When browsing the lessons on my (recent) Android phone, I have to wait eternally until I see or hear them. Mostly the lesson will start, but the video is not displayed. It is also an absolute nightmare to navigate around the app. Very slow, and very often you cannot play the lessons. I don't understand how a company that delivers such good content can deliver such an absolutely awful Android app. Totally not understandable.
