I've been learning Chinese for a few years now, and have used other materials, such as HelloChinese and Yoyochinese. I find SuperChinese to be the most engaging and useful Chinese language learning app. The premium version is well worth the money. The vocabulary is continuously reinforced and the stories are animated and engaging. Best app out there for learning Chinese!

Excellent app for beginners to learn Mandarin Chinese! This actually teaches you common words & phrases. I love that it also teaches you how to say the words & shows you how to draw the characters as well! It even immerses you in conversations in the lessons! Excellent for free version! Surprised that not as many people use this! I started with Duolingo app Chinese but this is much more detailed! Try it for yourself!

Great app but the audio is off towards the end of the first lesson. It keeps repeating the same sentence while you're going through the next exercise and are supposed to record your own voice. Not sure if it's the same throughout the later lessons but I have a feeling that's the case. Wonderful app, just needs to fix those bugs.

There have been a lot of updates to the app recently that are really well done. However there are still some faults. One time I got penalized for having a grammar question wrong on a structure they hadn't taught yet. Sometimes when I get things wrong it is not because of the thing they said was wrong. I would like more translations into English so that one can see what the meaning is supposed to be. And more.

I've only been using this app for a few days, but it has a fantastic and easy to use design, clear lessons, and a timer which actively tracks how long you've been practicing Chinese. It even gives you a half an hour a day goal, which is super useful for motivation and to see how long you've been practicing. Even for a complete beginner, really good app, will definitely continue with this!

It's been about a year since I reviewed the app. I use it daily & am on the Top 100 list of users. The developers have been making many great changes in that time. 1 of my requests was removing the test timer, which they did. The interface has also been improved. The only thing I want to see upgraded is the points system. It's too easy to manipulate & rewards laziness. You can skip most questions & still be rewarded full points. Also lvl 1 and 2 have more lessons that give 25+ points than lvl 3.

Best app to learn Chinese. Tried several before setting for this one. Lots of free content. AI driven. Subscription is affordable when on sale. Consistency is key. I like the structure. Downgrade to 4 star as the font is too small. Should be adjustable. Also add options to show pinyin without going into settings during lessons. Should be toggle function.

Excellent app, I've been using it for almost a year, and there's a huge variety of different modalities to learn through -- I haven't even been able to take advantage of them all yet. It's also extremely rare to encounter any kind of bug or typo, and I can see they are consistently adding and updating content. Well worth the subscription, the developers clearly put a ton of effort into the overall experience and the AI that gives you feedback on your speech down to each syllable and tone.

This is a wonderful app. I love how there is an option to gather coins through doing the lessons and spend them to get the premium feature if you are not able to buy it. I like how it gives pictures, stories, and lots of examples. Vocab is repeatedly shown and reinforced. The voice recognition is also quite exceptional. My only suggestion is that maybe the app could add more training for writing the characters. Other than that, I can't wait until they come out with the next levels!

Baically, for beginners. There is some useful stuff in the app, but even the highest levels won't get you above upper elementary/lower intermediate levels. They also need more lessons (under development, they say. Hurry, guys, I've finished 7-8). Some of their English translations are atrocious, but overall, it's a good app, especially for lower level students.

It's the best language app I've used outside of Dulingo. Lessons are small enough to be done during a lunch break, but are cumulative, and by building off each other they help you pick up the language. The images are cute, and the example sentences have a good range of complexity. I've only used this for a month, so no, I don't know Chinese, but I can recognize a few characters and the AI that analyzes your tones is really useful to improve pronunciation.

The overall structure of lessons are quite effective at providing an overview of the all the skills built upon, also the UI is quite user-friendly and is made easy enough for anyone to review the previous lessons. However one thing I'd like to see implemented is a collection of vocabulary learned so that all words can be viewed all at once.

Update -1 star. The beep sound after the user enters an audio recording is too loud. Can't use the app with other people close by or in quiet environments. Really annoys people to the point where they ask you to leave the room. Initial review. So far I'm really enjoying learning Chinese with this app. It's not easy, it really challenges you. Update:

ignore the slightly clunky interface. this is the best Chinese language app, or any language app, I've ever found. The variety of tasks and material is great. It will score your speech accuracy, show you animated conversations, and more. the difficulty progression works well, with more types of tasks as you advance. Worth the paid tier.

I think the app is a bit overrated. First, the english translations are horrible. Word definitions frequently don't match and grammar explanations are too infrequent and often unclear. The videos and voices are computer generated. Sometimes the voices are real slow and sometimes they are lightning fast. Accents change frequently, too. Feedback and bug reports are difficult and without response. I finally quit today as a result of these bugs. Hellochinese is far superior in my experience.

Greatest language learning app I've ever seen! It feels like I'm learning with a human teacher! The ads don't hinder your experience at all, the courses are comprehensive and organized, and it teaches you to listen, read, write, and speak simultaneously!! The writing section of learning is really easy to use and the knowledge book function stores your vocabulary and grammar for review anytime!! You can also turn off the notifications unlike Duolingo!!! It's a perfect app! 😍🤩❤️❤️❤️

This is the second App I use on an almost daily basis to learn Chinese. Just like the other one, I bought a yearly subscription and I am not regretting it. I like the animations, the way you can review almost everything in a different way and the fact that one can't just skip lessons. One has to follow a logical path to learn everything step by step, instead of just doing this and checking that, just like a "real" teacher would steer your learning, in my case the ones on the Domino Chinese website. Great voice recognition too, not like other apps...... I tried so many other apps and in the end I kept only Super Chinese and another app. No games and/or single word learning like other apps where you basically just waste your time!

Best Chinese learning app that I've tried, but it does have its issues. The expectation for listening to and understanding Chinese conversations can many times be unrealistic. I'm only using the free version as the trials of the Texts feature do absolutely nothing for me as the conversations go too fast. I'm not sure what else comes with the paid version. I would also like a concentration done on pronunciation. I pick up the correct pronunciation for most, but others I never get right.

The app is legitimately better than HelloChinese, Lingodeer, and Duolingo. And I have worked with all three companies. It takes what works well in each and does a great job. It's slower but more engaging and goes to a very high level (HSK 5 at the time of writing). Just give it a try.

I have tried a few other Chinese learning apps. This one is by far the best. I already clocked in average 1-2 hours a day for 2 weeks It kept me engaged. The lessons are targeted for practical use everyday language. I write down the sentences, practice pronunciation and also practice writing the characters. Grammar lessons are super helpful. I get all these things without buying premium version. Since it is so good. I might buy premium version later to show my appreciation.
