One of the few reliable apps for learning Cantonese; it actually has Cantonese terms and phrases rather than just Mandarin with jumping overlaid onto it. This was one of the main apps I used before going to Hong Kong and people remarked that my pronunciation was accurate, which is nice. May not be the best for those who don't learn via flashcards, but if you do, I'd recommend it.

So far it is the best cantonese learning app I have found. I love the character writing! Most other apps have this in simplified chinese or with mandarin pronunciation.
★★★★★Henry Inman· Jul 4, 2025
Great tool for serious learners. Rating based on subscription version Good: -tons of built-in lists -etymology, breaks down the meaning of each character -lots of study methods. Switching between flashcards and multiple choice is easy to do, but I personally didn't find intuitive to figure out how to do. -entering custom text for study provid -quick guides to shapes, days of the week, basics etc. are useful To Want to Have: -color coding based on tones.
