HanziGlow: Chinese Writing

HanziGlow helps children, beginners, parents, and lifelong learners practice Chinese characters with animated stroke guidance and responsive handwriting tools.

Explore a 10,171-character library, with 200 common characters available for free. A monthly or yearly subscription opens the full library and advanced practice.

Features:
• Animated stroke order, guided tracing, copying, and free writing
• Finger and Apple Pencil handwriting with adjustable brushes
• 44 preset filters, including course levels, common-use tiers, and stroke counts
• Search by character, pinyin, tone, or meaning; group and collapse results
• Pinyin, meanings, words, and source notes, with separate readings and audio where available
• Practice classic poetry, prose, and your own passages
• Replay and compare saved writing, with efficient local history and interruption recovery
• Preview, print, or export writing-history PDFs and complete local backups
• Multiple paper styles, low-glare themes, and accessibility settings
• Offline-first use with no account, ads, or remote analytics

Your writing and personal passages stay on your device. If a subscription ends, saved handwriting remains available to view; paid tracing guidance and new paid practice require renewal.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Restore purchases at any time from the app.
