Language Player 2 4+

A must-have in a language learners toolkit

I wish I had this app when I was learning Mandarin. And will definitely be using it as I start learning Korean (and any other language, for that matter).

Finding authentic videos, movies, and shows to practice real Mandarin Chinese with is incredibly difficult. Zero to Hero compiles, transcribes, translates, and even provides pin-yin & Chinese characters so you can learn Mandarin from real native materials.

And you can do this with their many supported languages! It’s incredible - and it’s free.

They are truly revolutionizing language learning and helping many. Even though this has just launched, it is incredibly polished and has earned itself a spot on my “must-have” toolkit for language learning. Highly recommend!

Deceptive purchasing practice impact a great service

This app uses a deceptive, dark pattern purchasing method. If you choose ‘go pro’ at the top to view pricing, it immediately launches a purchase request. Before you can even read the benefits of pro, it’s trying to quickly surprise you into spending $90. I love Chinese Zero to Hero (the best online learning program), but this is not good practice and should be modified.

You can apply for a refund from Apple by following these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084

I coded the purchasing logic a long time ago mostly to meet Apple's requirement, since very few users choose to purchase it through the app (so far only three did so).

It used to be that the user had to press another button to confirm the purchase, but that design got rejected by Apple. The current design was finally approved. I'll see if I can make some adjustment without getting the app rejected. After all, the existence of this App is just to provide another convenient way to access the product.
