Chinese Flashcards Hack 2.2 + Redeem Codes

They show the icon for sound and I have it turned on but there is no sound. One star!

I think this is a good app. Some good points about it are its friendly interface as well as its ability to use both traditional and simplified characters. As far as appearance goes, this is a 5 star app. However, my one MAJOR problem is that you are unable to adjust the number of characers that you are tested on. The app. has test consisting of 25 characters. If you are just starting to learn Chinese characters (like myself) it is very difficult to retain the amount of information you learn. It's a case of biting off more than the average person can chew and one might feel like they are drowning in too much new material. During my school days, I used to make a game of just testing myself on 5 vocabulary words/terms(regardless of subject). From there, I would memorize as many 5 card sets as possible before streching it to 10. Personally, I found this to be an effective way for myself to learn new words/terms. It is my opinion that an option that would allow one to adjust the number of flashcards tested in intervals of 5, would drastically increase the information retained. If such an adjustment is made, I will glady give the app. a 5 star review.

You can see the. CHaracter and reveal it's meaning and pinyin. But but not the other way around. It should be a setting option. You won't learn to write this way. Just read. Include this option(please!) and you got a 5star app

I researched all the flashcard programs for learning Chinese before deciding on this one, and I'm happy with my purchase. The characters are clear, the definitions appear to be accurate and the program looks nice and it's easy to use. It isn't perfect yet, I think there are a few usability issues that could be addressed, but the core of the program is great and I look forward to working my way through all of the characters provided.

One thing to note though, this program requires that you know at least a little Chinese. I think it's geared towards at least an intermediate speaker, who has a base understanding of characters. Buying this program won't help you speak Chinese, it'll help you read it.

Great App for learning Chinese!

First criticism: it's tedious for anyone who already knows more then a couple 100 characters, unless they have the patience to fastforward past the first few 100. Doing this manually would probably take at least an hour. How about allowing the user to skip around in the next version, developers?

Second criticism: need a way to review Learned character. Otherwise you inevitably forget old ones, Even if you got the right 4 times in a row. Recommend option to randomly review characters you got wrong at least n times. Where n is customizable.

The app itself is useful and nice. I'm a beginning learner and it helps to reinforce word memory. There are a few things I wish were added (some mentioned by a previous reviewer):
- Minor request: Color scheme control. Toxic-green background, blindingly white menu button, and bright yellow cards. Ugh!
- Major request: Ability to review/reinstate skipped and learned words. Currently, there is no way to review learned/skipped, and the only way to return them to the pile is to reset the entire set of flashcards.

With those couple changes, this already useful app would be perfect!

I would give four-and-a-half stars if it were allowed!

1) Make it speak the word when the answer is shown. Have this as an option under "settings".
2) We need the ability to restore words, not just start over completely.
3) I really like the colors. Add more themes, however, in case others don't.

If they did all of that, they could probably charge even more for the program. (But please don't - it's a very good value!)

I'm an upper- intermediate Chinese student and this app is exactly what I was looking for to help my reading ability. It's a very basic flashcard app, but that's all it's supposed to be, so it's great. It's a great way to build your Chinese.
Well worth the price, 5 stars!

Wish list for Developer:
-I wish I could see both simple and traditional characters at the same time, or easily switch back and forth.
-I wish The characters were in a different font, or had an option to change the font.
-the actual look and color scheme of the app is a little cheesy, use less bright colors or something.
-I was really hesitant to buy this app at first, if you had a limited "lite" version, you'd probably have more sales.

Best chinese flashcards app that I have tried so far. Controls are simple and it works like it should. There aren't many options however, and there doesn't seem to be a way to make custom sets of flashcards. I do like the fact that it starts on the most common characters and progresses from there. Overall, very good at what it does.

it does a great job at what it advertises for: Chinese flash cards. For the price of a frappuccino, you got a very well done Chinese training program
