Awful – BidBox Vocabulary Trainer: English - Chinese Review

Luckily, I tried this for free. I thought it would be great to have a fast paced 'game' to review characters I already know. Actually, I like the layout and the speed concept. BUT the problem is, the word list was clearly just computer generated. For example 我 means I or me in English. During the game, the first time you see it you only have a choice of I, so no problem. The second time you see it you have to choose between a few words, including I and me. Well, sometimes I chose I and was correct, other times I chose I and was wrong... But without context you would never know which one to choose, unless you were translating a sentence from Chinese to English. So anyway, nice layout, but a fail. If they really wanted to make this great: 1 - pronounce the target language word after selected 2 - option to change which language goes in the middle 3 - option to turn off the horrible applause 4 - have a real life human choose the word list and QA the game that actually speaks/reads/writes both languages fluently I don't recommend this, free or otherwise.
