Incredible – Scribe Origins - Learn Kanji & Hanzi of Chinese and Japanese Characters Study App Review

I tried to read Learning the Traditional Hanzi, but found the fictional meanings and stories about the primitives bizarre and culturally alien. I simply cannot be convinced that a Chinese primitive means “baseball”! I found and enjoyed reading Chineasy, but it covered so few characters, and it was a muddle of both traditional and simplified hanzi. This app is a godsend. It breaks each character down into its primitive components and presents them in order of complexity, using the primitives and character components you have already learned. Where possible, it gives the actual meaning and context of primitives. It also gives their Mandarin pronunciation in pinyin, which is wonderful. I am using the TOCFL, and my only note is that it would be nice to additionally get the pronunciation in zhuyin, since that is the alphabet in use in Taiwan.
