Let five of them drop and the game is finished! But the learning continues; you can review everything that you saw, complete with stroke order diagrams and testing at your own pace. Characters you made the most mistakes on are highlighted at the top of the list.

Where’s the support?

I bought an HSK pack and it doesn’t show up. I emailed tech support and they never answered. I like the app, but need a response
best app for chinese learner

My daughter of 7 is addicted to this app. I love how it enforces the stroke order and makes the practice fun and challenging. Cannot ask for a better app.
Really great app! (One small glitch)

I love how the character packs are separated by HSK level and and you can choose between writing simplified or traditional characters for free. I just noticed one small glitch: In the review of characters played in the game, the link to the Train Chinese companion dictionary app isn’t working correctly. It does open the dictionary, but it searches for a number code instead of the character itself. I think the link to the dictionary is a very helpful idea, so I’d love for it to be fixed. Overall great app, though!
Highly Effective System
Vivikachu
I’m very thankful for this app. The additional $7.99 purchase is 100% worth it. Not only the creator built an organized system where it’s easy to look for specific words, they also make it easy to group the vocabulary & practice writing in a game. I gotta say this app is the best tool I’ve found so far in learning Chinese, especially in writing. The only down side is some words keep repeating too often and some others don’t pop up at all in game practice. I hope eventually they’ll build an extensive randomness in word falling down which would include all the words I’ve chosen. Bottom line, id rate this app 9/10.
Your update is brilliant!

Wow ? You have added such an amazing variety of material to this app! I already loved it, but it is truly one of the keenest practice apps, along with your whole ecosystem, that I as a learner could hope for. Thanks so much for it. ? 端午节快乐?
Good concept but major flaws
EarnestAppReviews
This app is a good concept, but there are major flaws. One of them being that you are unable to write the straight up to down stroke. For example the character 巨.
