It remembers which Chinese words you’ve trouble with and will automatically loads new words when you’re ready. and you will review Chinese words right before you forget them.
Each word in this app has Chinese characters (Both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese), pinyin, audio and translation so that users are able to build up the connection of a word with its meaning and pronunciation efficiently.
This app contains over 5,000 frequently used Chinese words. If you plan to study, travel in China or do business with Chinese people, it is the basis of your fluent spoken Chinese.
What’s more, it is completely FREE with no any ADS or micro-transactions.
I appreciate the simplicity of the app, which makes studying very quick. But there are some quirks which almost defeat its purpose as a flash card app. - the biggest problem is that when you mark a card you got wrong, it just repeats that card until you mark it as "remembered." normally flashcard apps tuck that card away and bring it up later, because obviously I'm going to remember what it was since I literally just saw it. - that wouldn't be that much of a problem, but the cards don't seem to repeat in any meaningful way. I see cards I know very well and cards I have difficulty with at the same frequency. I can't tell if this app is remembering what I'm having trouble with. - the graph at the end, which shows you how many you marked "remembered," "forgot," etc. is not very accurate. I've definitely done a run where I marked all cards as "remembered" and the graph at the end showed some as "don't know" or "forgot." is it actually recording how well I know the cards? is it tailoring the flash cards to my weaknesses, or are the cards it shows me pre-set? who knows - the definitions are limited to one line, no word wrap. so if the definition is too long it gets cut off. one of the cards' definitions was "measure word for..." which is not very useful. I'll still use the app because it is super quick to flip through cards, so I can review words in like 5 minutes. But definitely using this as a supplement for Skritter and Brainscape (which both cost money.)
It’s been a year already and I always press remember perfectly. How can I get new words? I’m at about 450 or so.

Paired with the main app, there no other apps nearly as effective at teaching Mandarin. Thorough, easy to use, and the price doesn't hurt :)
It really is sample and fun learning app. It concentrates on writing, reading, and speaking, and help you play words game to remember the vocabulary.
I was really excited to use this app and the possibility that I could stop making flash cards. I live in China and I am studying here. Unfortunately, it is difficult to learn any new words since you won't see those words again for a really long time. It seems as if you are cycling through all 5000 words. Maybe once I get fluent I can use this app, or hopefully it will improve over time. I am a beginner in Chinese (HSK 3)
