Only been using this a few days, layout is similar to Lingodeer, material is nice well laid out.
However, on the first lesson, it’ll sound out some words showing pinyin and then it’ll give two squares and sound out a word. I assume you’re supposed to pick the square that contains the pinyin to go with the pronunciation, but I can’t actually see any pinyin. It’s literally just a screen with the Panda and audio and two blank, white squares. I’ve been guessing my way through these. Please fix this !!

okay so i have to edit to two stars because this bug keeps occurring. It also happen in the story reading exercises, when it asks you a question but the entire question doesn’t show up so i’m still just guessing the answer. very annoying and make app impossible to use. it’s a reoccurring problem and app would be great if only this was fixed

I gave this app 5 stars when I first started using it but knocking off 2 stars today due to the most recent May 2019 update. I had been using the app for 6 months already and really enjoyed it and appreciated the fact that the developers had a great mission to help people learn the Chinese language. It was the most comprehensive free app and I tested well over a dozen apps before settling down with ChineseSkill. After the update, they’ve now locked a lot of the “Immersion” content using a paywall subscription. This feature used to be completely free and set the app apart from all the others. With this move, it’s now a mediocre app that’s just as good as the others.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s still good and I still appreciate it. But their move to a paywall subscription model means I need to use other apps to supplement my learning process. This makes them just at par with the others, and therefore, deserving of a mediocre rating.

Time to begin (again!) my search for a best-in-class app...!

This app is okay, but I still prefer HelloChinese and DuoLingo (which I've used for other languages).

This app doesn't have as many different styles of questions, mostly just multiple choice and typing, so it's not nearly as engaging of a learning experience. It also starts to feel a bit too repetitive.

The sound effects are really annoying. I really don't like that unpleasant cash register-like sound.

Moreover, the test out feature is ridiculous. I already know a fair amount of beginner Chinese, so I didn't want to be stuck doing frustratingly simple exercises like "I am a girl" and "he is a boy." However, I failed the first three times I tried to test out because I didn't know "peach", "sun", and "round." It seems like the test out feature requires you to know everything already, which means the whole app is pointless.

Also, I really don't like having percentages at the end of lessons. When I see I, I feel like I've failed a test even though it's just an app.

The illustrations for vocab words are very well done. Sometimes the meaning is not as clear as the tacky stock photos used in HelloChinese, but they're a little more pleasant to look at.

After answering a question correctly, I wish the translation shown under "good job!" was bigger and easier to read.
