Chinese LS Touch

I have used this app daily for two year, more than any other app I have bought for any reason. It is the best! I add my own character sets to follow along with the Heisig method and separate ones for my college class. It is my secret weapon for acing every vocab quiz we get. This app has paid for itself many times over. When I started learning Chinese I felt it would be a coup just to learn to read and listen. I never thought I would be able to WRITE Chinese. But now I am well on my way to doing that thanks to this app.

Too expensive for what you get. $5 would be a better price. Good interface, very good content in terms of number of characters and organization, good testing stats. Minor irritant is that the application doesn't indicate when an error is made in a stroke. Major irritant, is errors in the character strokes and in stroke order. So far, I have found over 9% of the character strokes to be in the incorrect order or incorrect in quantity (2 strokes combined as one, or vice versa). Have also found inconsistencies - for example, a radical that is correct in strokes on one character and incorrect in strokes on the other. Developer doesn't seem interested in criticism or suggestions for changes.

This app is GREAT! I have been trying to learn Chinese for about 18 months on-and-off and I have spent hundreds of dollars on audio CDs and book. This app is a steal at the current price. For one, it has so many characters (over 5000) and they are organized to the HSK 1-6 which is really convenient. But the best part is the tests. You can test yourself in 5 different test formats to ensure that you really know the characters, can define the, and know which character is missing in a phrase. I wish that I had this app 18 months ago but at least I found it now. Cheers!
