Chinese Chess - Best XiangQi

You can choose to use entirely symbols or entirely hanzi, or you can even select to replace a certain number of pieces with hanzi so that you can slowly get used to them.

Very solid 象棋 (Chinese Chess) app. It’s has everything you really need, which is great. Plus it’s free, which is the cherry on top. The ads aren’t super annoying but I’d definitely pay to get rid of the ads. I don’t see an option for that, hopefully they’ll add it. Overall, I highly recommend

This is probably the best Chinese chess app o found in the Apple App Store. It has excellent options for learning the rules and for memorizing the chinese pieces symbols. I am very familiar with them but I see that if anyone needs to learn this app has the best feature called “hanzi”. It lets you make all or only some pieces have a graphic that is independent of languages (picture instead of chinese symbol). You can also set it so only some symbols are visible and some in chinese. It has an option to save the record of the games you played and lots of puzzles which are essential for anybody who wants to get better at Chinese chess. Drawbacks are that there is no mode to analyze game by computer and that there are no more settings for difficulty. They show the break up of difficulty lol “child” “pretty girl” “old man”, but it does not objectively say anything about how difficult or easy it is. As everybody knows there are too few Chinese Chess (XiangQi) apps that are actually good. Most of them have the same graphics and sound copy and pasted and no options. There are also a few that are only in Chinese.
