Wow, It's really fantastic game to enhance chinese writing and characters, but I would add to improve the graphic design of the app, thanks.

I love this app firstly you can learn offline, and it teaches you how to write each changes character bit by bit I also like that you can play it as a game cause it helps me remember the characters better overall it's a good app

The game is kind of addict the charactersve, but I recommend spending time tracing the characters to really learn them before playing the game. It's a fantastic tool for learning the Heinz characters, and I like that I can switch between traditional and simplified (Mandarin), as well as between typed and calligraphy characters. I think the developers should consider running the game in a manner like flash cards (no points) as a practice just to learn the meanings of each character.

Your app is great after I tested a dozen apps over the years. Here is where to improve and stay #1 forever. It would be better after I play sliding down game, you let me know what words do I get it wrong so I can go through all the words that I don't know for 3–4 times until I know it. Learning is about learning and find out what we keep missing out and practice and re practice that words until we don't miss out easily again next time

Please bring the old version of this app back to the previous old HSK Packs/Levels on Android Version and iOS Version since 2019/2020 and not this modern garbage.

1. Can't import list 2. The app turns black after going to a different and going back to this one. 3. Somehow characters are never marked green. Right after playing game, some turn green for a moment. Then they become orange. They can only be manually marked as green. 4. It's not possible to look up characters from examples. It's being convenient. 5. In general, the section of examples is not well-developed and examples don't show most common word with the given character. 6. I run out of space here
