Is good and I very much like the concept but there are a couple minor details. For one thing, when I hit the back button the app closes on me, and I do this from muscle memory so it's kinda hard to avoid, and also it takes too long to load up, way too long. Also a little suggestion: a sample sentence on new words wouldn't hurt at all...

Good flashcard app, has several wordpacks you can choose from to start learning new vocab according to your interests (tech, football, politics, etc) . For now it only tests you for characters, there are no audio tests and no English to Chinese tests. The flashcards also show no example sentences so you're learning out of context. Overall positive

This is a good app honestly, you learn a lot and it's free. Though I would suggest that in review you make the 'incorrect' button functional, there's only correct characters everytime and you can scramble them to make it more efficient for review. Also I noticed, I think the pronunciation in the 儿 character is wrong, it was pronounced 'ren' when it should be 'er'. That's all

Thank you for checking out the app and for sharing your review. In case it's unclear, the "correct" and "incorrect" are used for self testing. When flipping a card, you are asked to mark whether or not you got the word or idiom right or wrong, and then select the appropriate option. However, it's noted that this could be confusing. Thanks again.
