Chinese Characters 汉字

I love the app for keeping my characters memorized in a structured way, but the indexing is a nightmare and I REALLY wish they would make one simple improvement to save me so much unnecessary scrolling/searching. Namely, i wish the search feature would take you to the location of the character within the massive scroll, or at the VERY least, label their location more specifically than merely HSK 6, for example. Even the alphanumeric location would be an improvement over simply the numeric location since to find a character’s HSK 6 location within the scroll, I would have to search through 1000 characters to find it’s scroll location. For example, I am someone who wants to not only memorize the characters, but where every character is located to keep better track of which characters i know, and to be continually conscious of whether new characters i learn elsewhere are not this list or whether I’ve just forgotten them. To integrate this with other learning materials, I separate each 120 character section into 10 groups of 12 to memorize. This gives me a sense of structure and completeness of this list relative to characters not on the list. It’s like learning the alphabet in order as opposed to simply knowing a bunch of random letters and guessing which letters you know when you learn new words. With some of the note taking i do in other apps, I try to index the characters of this app, according to the context of their location in the scroll, but man is it ever unnecessarily redundant and time consuming to type a character in the search bar, have it designated as HSK 5 or HSK 6, and have to scroll through all of HSK 5 or 6, to find it’s location. It’s not that you don’t get all the relevant information about the searched character, it’s that the process of structuring SETS of characters in one’s memory for sake of completeness requires a real searching headache which could be easily fixed by one simple fix to the search feature. Take me to the character’s location in the scroll when i search for it. MAN, would that save me a lot of headache. If that small improvement was made, this app would be SUCH a fast, convenient tool for structured memorization of characters.

This is a awesome app. It’s everything I wanted. Tells you stroke order, meanings and even example words! This is so huge in language development. Honestly the price for all the characters that they provide makes it worth the purchase if/when you get past the free ones. Great job, guys. Next make one for Japanese! 🤌🏽🙏🏼

It looks like a good app overall but I can’t get it to switch to traditional. It’s on in the settings but when I go back to the list it’s still all simplified.

THIS REALLY HELPED ME

The app is mostly perfect but doesn’t support handwriting practice in Traditional. May it please be added?

I love the complicated drawing since I’m a kid and all so i loooooove the game 🤗

Although their wide range of vocabulary is very good and useful, if you could click on the word and have it show you that word in a sentence it would make this app a lot better.

This app has such great potential, but when trying to trace the characters, using the Apple Pencil or finger, the app tries to force the lines of the trace to snap to the character on the screen that it hinders the flow of the trace lines and causes them to go crazy. The lines, when tracing, will stop in the middle of tracing for no reason and will cause them to stretch across the screen and just act wacky in general. It’s virtually unusable. Also, the character grid should be able to zoom in or out. The grid with characters is too small with no way to change size. I would gladly pay the $8.99 for the advanced features when this is fixed. Copying/tracing characters should be smooth and not such a frustrating experience.
