Nearly perfect app. The price is cheap compared to Skitter (a similar app). I wish it had mnemonics for each character and provided sino-vietnamese words in Details section. (If you don't know, a lot of Vietnamese words originated from China. They are called sino-vietnamese words. I've been manually adding them to user note for each Chinese character. A bit inconvenient but very helpful for Vietnamese like me.)

Chinese Guru has proved its mettle as a powerful app for me to learn chinese characters and boost my chinese to greater heights. All language learners should use this app in tandem with Duolingo to optimize their learning. Flashcards are one of the proven ways to learn Chinese characters fast

Nice functionality, but confusing menu layout. Just over 100 characters in the free version. But my biggest problem is in some sections, I get simplified characters even though I have it set to traditional characters.

Can't even use write to search dictionary without paying, such a shame

Admittedly, I use this everyday, however there are things that annoy me about the app functionality. I'm just too lazy to start over with a new app.
