Description by glumes (from Google Play)
Learn to write Chinese characters, one stroke at a time.
HanziStep brings stroke-order demonstrations, guided handwriting and writing from memory into one calm study space. See how a character is formed, trace its strokes, then try it without the outline. Designed for adult learners aged 18 and over.
WATCH THE STROKE ORDER
Follow animated demonstrations to see how each character is written. Replay the movement whenever you need a reminder.
TRACE, THEN WRITE FROM MEMORY
Practice on a large writing grid with a character outline and stroke guidance. Switch to Recall mode to write without the outline. Use a hint, replay a stroke or reset your attempt when you need help.
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WRITE
Explore pinyin, English meanings, radicals, stroke counts, common words and selected example sentences. Illustrated meanings are available for selected characters. Listen to characters and supported words and sentences as you study.
FIND YOUR NEXT CHARACTERS
Browse HSK recognition and handwriting lists, everyday topics and radical groups. Save useful characters or create your own lists. Learn in small sets, pause an unfinished session and continue later.
KEEP PRACTICING
Set a daily goal, review your writing history and return to characters that need more work. Optional reminders help you make time for practice. Character-recognition and listening quizzes give you another way to review.
LOCAL LEARNING, FLEXIBLE AUDIO
The dictionary and stroke data are available locally. Cloud audio needs an internet connection for the first download; cached recordings can be replayed offline. Illustrations may also require a download. Device text-to-speech is an optional alternative and depends on the installed voice engine.
Your progress and custom lists are stored on your device. Export and restore a backup yourself; there is no HanziStep account or automatic cloud sync.
FREE STUDY AND OPTIONAL PRO
Dictionary lookup, stroke demonstrations and basic writing practice are free. HSK 1–2 content is free to study. Higher HSK levels, radical groups and selected topic courses include previews, with further course content available through Pro.
Free users have a daily quiz allowance and can choose a rewarded ad for an extra quiz session, subject to availability. HanziStep Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads and unlocks Pro course content, unlimited quizzes, custom training and unlimited custom lists. Your local price is shown in Google Play. The free version may display banner and frequency-limited full-screen ads.
The interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian and Hindi. Dictionary meanings and learning explanations are mainly in English.
HSK lists are study references. HanziStep is not an official HSK product or a complete exam-preparation course.
