How am I the first person to be reviewing this app? It’s one of the best language-learning apps I’ve ever used, up there with Pleco. As an experienced language learner, I know that reading and consuming media is the best way to build your vocabulary and overall sense for how the language really works, things that most textbooks feed to you piecemeal, but that you really need to immerse yourself in. The living language is so much more interesting than anything in a textbook or (more commonly these days) an app. This one lets you immerse yourself in real materials with minimal friction. The “pre-study” feature is genius! If you’re studying Chinese, do yourself a favor and just get it. No subscription and an incredibly reasonable price. Support this developer! We need more developers like this.
