Ratings and reviews

This is an excellent app for people trying to learn Chinese. The audio tracks are especially helpful for developing listening skills, and the content is quite relevant for people hoping to learn about modern China's culture, society, politics and history. Highly recommend! The only constructive criticism I'd offer is that I wish they offered audio tracks for the new vocabulary words for each lesson. Otherwise, it's an excellent app, and I highly recommend it!

Great app for learning to read Chinese! Includes audio and can click for definitions. One bug I've noticed though is if using traditional characters, sometimes the title of the article doesn't show up. But if you switch to simplified, you can see the title in simplified characters. It seems to happen randomly though. Also wish you could click on characters in the title for definition and pronunciation. But all and all, great tool for learning to read Chinese.

Great app. I love using this app to listen to native speakers read real news articals. You can click on words while you listen to see translations. There are 6 skill levels. I'm studying levels 1 and 2. Sometimes 3. They adapt the articles in the lower skill levels accordingly. Each higher level gets harder (more descriptions and faster pronunciations). New articals come out every day so there is no lack of interesting news articles to study from. They are also quick to respond to suggestions.
