Ratings and Reviews
Well designed for learning Chinese
I love the friendly videos, efficient user interface, and radical-based character learning. I do wish there was an option for grading writing as a fourth category, even though the author specifically argues against it. I might not use handwriting in real life, but I personally consider it an important part of how I memorize characters. So I would like to be able to be promoted to write the character on paper (for a given pronunciation + meaning) and then swipe to indicate if I remembered how to write it correctly.

谢谢 for this very nice and detailed review ! I actually do agree with you, handwriting is also an important part of learning Chinese. The difficulty to integrate it in the APP is that it is actually a much slower process to memorize it and a much quicker to forget. Very soon you will only be left with flashcards of this writing aspect to learn... I take good note of your idea, and will keep thinking about how to integrate this in a efficient/natural way, eventually Ginkgo will have this option, but it is not here yet. And of course all suggestions are welcome at ginkgo.memory@yahoo.com !
I wish I had this app when I started
I studied Chinese back 18 years ago when I lived in China. While spoke decent mandarin, my reading was terrible. Since then I’ve learned about spaced repetition. It’s a game changer! This app uses it in a super intuitive way. If you want to be able to use a Chinese dictionary, learning these radicals is critical. And this is one of the best ways to learn it and have it stick. If I decide to fully refresh my Chinese, I’ll buy every app available from these guys!

Thanks a lot Allen ! This kind of review is super super nice to read and a real boost to motivation !
The best Chinese learning app!
I have been taking private Chinese language lessons for three years but have tried many apps along the way to practice and fill in the gaps. This is the one I love the very best, because along with a great way to make the vocabulary and characters stick, it helps you have a deeper understanding of the meaning behind the characters and culture in short learning snippets between practice sessions. It’s my favorite!
