Downloaded this last night and I'm already very impressed! Even with the free version, you get a lot of tools and practice in. I highly recommend this app if you're like me and you love Chinese characters and the origins behind them. The explanation videos are great, and very conveniently placed within the flashcard swipes! I think I'm going to pay for the premium! 谢谢, Gingko! Edit: I wish there was a payment plan for the lifetime membership! It's too much upfront, but over time I could get it

I like this app. Pinyin is present but focus is on characters. Videos are helpful for memory, no waste of time. I agree with others that hearing a character as you swipe the card away, results in hearing it while seeing a different character. Hopefully they can update the animation, perhaps leave the next card blank until the pronunciation has finished. I DON'T like that the free trial ends right after you're asked to rate the app. Would love to practice writing with a similarly structured app.

谢谢 Amy ! If you "touch & hold" the card before swipping you will not have the sound issue, but as it's not natural for most users, I will try to find some better way. About reviews: it is so important for the app that it is necessary to ask and ask again... I try to do it in a "soft and original" way in video. And writing will come in time !

Great app! The interface was great and video lessons informative and interesting. There were two mistakes in the Chinese that worry me about the quality of future content, though. The word 漂亮 is written as two fourth tone characters, but the second character has no tone in this word. Second, in a video lesson about measure words 这些 is translated as "those" but 那些 is the way to say "those" in Chinese. I'd pay for this app if these problems were fixed and carefully checked for other such errors.

Hello Katherine, thanks a lot for your input. I will update this 漂亮 tone mistake in next update. The translation of 这些 in the app is "these". And you are right the translation for 那些 is “those". Hope you'll enjoy the app 😁 Feel free to contact me by mail if you have any question/suggestion: contact@ginkgoacademy.com 谢谢!
