Misleading

I thought it was an app to teach Chinese to English speakers, not English to Chinese speakers. Very Annoying!!
Easier to understand than simplified
taroooooo
The best part of this app is that this is a traditional Chi version. It's more complicated though, if you have learned Chinese before, you will understand each part of the character means much more by the tradional than the simplified. So I say it's a good app.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the first app that inspired me to write a review! This is a great program and acually teaches you Chinese. The price is free and totally worth it. It has flash cards and you can take a quiz. It has everything from children and babies to colors and the monthes. It's really easy and taught me Chinese. It's great!!!
Weak application just like the others

No simplified character option. Context of the words is almost totally absent. Even the characters on the flashcards are sometimes incorrect. On the whole, a weak program. Still waiting for a good Chinese app...
Godd for learning vocabulary
a non y-mous
This app is great for learning vocab. I just learned +25 words in a few hours. I think it's gonna stick. This app is useless unless you have another source however, as it teaches no grammar or useful phrases. It really should have at least one of these thing.
Audio too soft

Very promising! Please turn up the volume -- I need to see the pinyin just to get what I should get just from the sound! We need louder sound.
Where are the verbs?!
The Real Dionysus
I love the concept of this program BUT, how can you learn a language without studying the verbs?!! Not a single verb was found in the vocabulary list. The closest thing to a verb was "walker" which is still a noun but uses the verb walk in the characters. Plenty of room for improvement. I will wait until there is a real vocabulary list before I buy. Phrases would be nice but lonely planet does an okay job of that.
