Edit: The app remains one of the more useful ones on the market but over time the gamification of the app has become more and more annoying. Little animations about combos interrupting my study, animations of points going into bags after finishing a short segment, messages about daily streaks - it's too much. I'd have liked to work my way through the new course as it does have some words/grammar I am unfamiliar with but the repetition of known words plus that fluff makes it unbearable.

We are sorry for the experience you've had! For now, you could turn off the combo animations and motivational messages by disabling "Motivational messages" in Settings. We’d really appreciate it if you could share more about your thoughts with us via in-app feedback with some screenshots to help us better understand your needs. Thanks in advanced!

While Hello Chinese is similar to other language learning apps, it has some key differences which set it apart. First of all the "Teacher talk" sessions are great, and make it feel like your taught by a teacher to some degree. Secondly, it has plenty of speaking exercises, some with less accuracy than desired, but it still gets you speaking a lot, which is important for a language like Mandarin. Also it offers support for both Simplified and Traditional characters, which is awesome! Also no ads

It's always our pleasure to make your Chinese study easier than ever! We are considering adding zhuyin to traditional characters. Stay tuned!

Great app for starting with Chinese, but when you ge more advanced, the review capability becomes a huge issue - it's incredibly bad and makes it very tough to retain whatever I learned. At some point I realized I just memorized specific sentences and I don't actually know how to use what I'm learning, and at the same time the vocab I've worked to built is dissolving since the review triggers the same things over and over.
