Poor sound

I was really excited to use this app but the sound won’t work for me (and yes my phone’s volume is on).
Very useful!

This app focuses on one and one thing only, and that is to provide the basic foundation for students of Mandarin Chinese. This app is very thorough in this focus and makes learning fun. In the word quiz section I want to know how many total vocabulary words are stored on this app. I went through three rounds of quizzes that's 30 words, and only found one word repeating. So far it's a good indication that this app randomizes its choices when giving quizzes. The "choose one" section has audio for each syllable that is presented so that I can compare the pronunciation of each one you have after I provide my answer. I wish the developer extended this feature to the syllable and word sections as well. This app is really earns only 4 stars because I feel it's kind of incomplete, but I give it five stars because it is the best app of its kind that I was able to find.
Excellent app for practicing listening

I'm not sure how this app showed up on my phone - I think my kids downloaded it for me. But from the moment I started playing with it I was hooked. It allows me to improve my listening skills as well as speaking as I repeat after the recording to solidify the correct way to pronounce words. It also immediately showed me that I've been pronouncing the "ing" sound incorrectly and this many common words have been subtly off which causes confusion when I try to have a conversation. My only wish is that there were not words and maybe even some everyday sentences you could learn. I'd be willing to pay for this upgraded version!
