What are users saying about Chinese Character Trainer

D70%
by D####:

Very useful and nice. Poor design.

J70%
by J####:

On my version at least, the app mixes up knowing and not knowing a character, so if you say you don't know it, you'll never see it again, but if you do say you know it, it'll keep asking you. Makes the learning experience a bit rubbish!

Y70%
by Y####:

Very useful and nice. Poor design.

S70%

I read the comments and nope uninstall.

C70%
by C####:

This app works great for the first 100 words and I have learned these first words really fast. Love the simplicity of the interface and quickness of learning. But after paying, the algorithm just doesn't repeat any of the new words, just constantly asking entirely new ones, so impossible to learn any new words beyond reviewing the ones I already know. Very disappointing.

Demo has only irrelevant chars.

by T####:

It would be awesome to have the pinyin version also...

T70%
by T####:

After the first 3 or 4 characters in a session, the characters no longer display. I'm using a T-mobile G2 win Android 2.2.

Excellent

T70%

Would like to view already marked characters

T70%
by T####:

I have the same problem as a previous commenter on a G2. Flip to a definition,and flip back to the character but the screen is now blank.

T70%
by T####:

A little basic but definitely on the right track. Could do with some settings or options.

T70%
by T####:

Very useful and nice. Poor design.

T70%
by T####:

Functionality is good so far as it goes, but distinctly limited: * No option to train specific lists (custom, HSK etc) * Train only from character to pinyin. No option to train meaning to pinyin, pinyin to character, etc * pinyin/meaning side of the card shows pinyin in hao4ma3 style. Personally I'd much prefer to see the accents as this is so much easier to read. * Seems no options to customise the frequency of recurrence of words. Not clear what the algorithm is for repeating words that are right vs wrong. * Can only train the 100 most common characters (upgrade to pro for more) It's possible that some of these features(other than the last) are addressed in the pro version - but if so, it's not made clear.

Awesoe

J70%
by J####:

I learned the first hundred characters before buying and I was impressed. Since upgrading though I have found that it has been much harder to learn additional characters. I'd like to suggest a simple (hopefully) change. I'd like to control the number of characters it can show similar to how it was with only a hundred. Maybe I can up it by ten as a learn more and more? It has become overwhelming since upgrading.

V70%
by V####:

The only settings available are traditional characters. There are no instructions for using the apparently and no visual clues as to what the user is supposed to do with this apparently.

R70%
by R####:

I am stuck at 385 words, while studying for a year in china... a lot of strange words for which i have no clue of a possible use... i believe now i should validate words i don't know in order to access to words corresponding to my vocabulary... too bad!

H70%
by H####:

This is by far the best Chinese character learning app available on the market. I tried many before this one and there is no comparison. It's easy to use, intuitive and very helpful. There was no doubt i was going to upgrade to the Pro version after using the free version a couple of times. I had some trouble installing the Pro version but everything was solved after an email to the developer. 谢谢!

R70%
by R####:

It would be helpful to have a Visible saved list of the characters you already know, so you can consulte it anytime you want.

R70%
by R####:

To be able to scroll back to previously presented characters would be useful. Also would prefer smaller learning set repeated at shorter intervals. And you have to have the free version installed to open the paid version.

R70%
by R####:

Excellent. Improvement: add part of speech to definition and have sound available when flipping. Hopefully will see those in the next update!

T70%
by T####:

I've tried several and this one is better because it uses an algorithm to review occasionally ones you got right and comes back more often to ones you missed. I upgraded to Pro version it seems to have 5000 chars and works great.

D70%
by D####:

Please add reset function or profile function to support multi-users.

R70%
by R####:

5000 Hanzi in simplified or traditional with a good test engine. My 4 boxes of Tuttle flash cards ($100+) are better. Nothing else I know of can compete.

W70%
by W####:

Nice app but only 100 characters are free. After that you have to upgrade.

R70%
by R####:

I don't like the tone numbers written at the end of each transliteration. Proper pinyin tone marks would convince me to buy the full version.

N70%
by N####:

Easy to use and efficient to progress in chinese reading.

R70%
by R####:

Great app. Would be 5 stars if the flash cards had example sentences and words. Learning characters in isolation is less useful!

R70%
by R####:

+great character selection choice -cannot view already marked characters -characters use screen space ineffectively *add audio or text 2 speech lib

P70%
by P####:

This app no longer cycles back to X'd characters. Once X'd, you never see it again. Of course, this defeats the purpose of the app, which is to review characters until memorized.

N70%
by N####:

Must add example sentences Otherwise very good

U70%
by U####:

Simple app. For me too many new characters are 'released' so it's Hertz to remember them all. Other than that, quite a useful app.

R70%
by R####:

Would deifinitely buy the PRO version if it had the choice for spelling the tones with diacritics instead of numbers.

R70%
by R####:

Excellent, This app make you practice at any moment. Love it.

R70%
by R####:

Great for beginners who have the tonal pinyin skills.

F70%
by F####:

Basic interface and average learning. Room for improvement
