Pros and cons of Scribe Chinese app for iPhone and iPad

Scribe Chinese app good for

I TOTALLY LOVE THIS APP!! I use this everyday! I really like how you dont have to learn words according to the prearranged lists; I just add the words I am learning in class and focus on those and the words I already learned. A french version would be very helpful in college level french class!!! Would buy it in a heartbeat. I did notice for 老 the punctuation is lao.....shi.

Exceeded all my expectations. Nothing can compare when it comes to learning vocabulary. It runs slow and crashes frequently on iPod 4th gen but on 5th gen it works perfectly

Wow! Seriously. Ive been playing around with multiples flashcards apps and this brings a lot more. For example, when trying to remember a card, I used to go to a dictionary app to break apart the symbol. This one does it for you. Even better, the elements of the symbol have their mnemonic with them. Another example: there is games with multiple choice questions which are less painful to use with freshly learned words. Well, you know what! The author adjusted the rate of learning when using those games. Attention to details like that are all over the place. Everything is fine tuned. At last, I would like to point out the quality of the content, quality of the audio and quality of how the database of words is organized.

Thanx a lot, but try to review examples, it should be in simplified Chinese, if you learn it. All example sentences are in traditional Chinese

I love this app!! It has a ton of fun games that really help you learn each and every character. Ive just begun and already I know at least forty different characters and its only day 2. Im having fun with this app. Also the different games allow you to learn from just the audio pronunciation, the written character or the romanized written version. Very happy with this app, its a must get for anyone seriously looking to learn Chinese. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work.

Some bad moments

My teacher recommended this app, and it is making it a lot easier for me to understand.

Must have app to crack the Chinese letters and be master of it!!

Been studying under the help of this app for 3 hours. It has rich vocabulary list and the game is really good in helping students remember Chinese characters.

I think no matter why you learn Chinese for -- from college class or just for fun, this app is a must-have. it has rich vocabulary. You will learn the most used Chinese words in this app which allow you to apply to speaking Chinese right away.

Download this app right away if you want to learn Chinese. never learning Chinese becomes an addiction like this for me!

i like this program, though there is a problem in some games with heteronyms (same character different meaning and sometimes different sound) and homonyms( when a word with exactly the same sound, same tone has more then character and meaning) If there is a way to remove those the game would be more fair. Like 工 and 公 different meanings same sound.
