Excellent, but could be improved
A version with traditional characters would make this more useable for many students. Also, more characters should be added regularly.
Description
This application introduces Chinese characters to non-native speakers or young kids in a fun and intuitive way: to understand their origins as pictures of the objects they represent.
For example, the Chinese character for Sun was originally a circle with a dot in its center. It has evolved over the history, but you can still find traces of its original shape.
Besides explaining the picture meanings, this application also demonstrates the correct way of pronouncing and writing the characters. It even let you practice on your iPhone side by side with the demonstration. You'll find that you will be able to read and write dozens of Chinese characters in no time!
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Helpful in Learning Characters
This will not teach a person the Chinese language, but it makes a handy reference when one is working with pinyin and wants to see what the real words are. The progressive study has the worthy goal of quickly familiarizing a novice with Chinese text to make it less intimidating. The percentage learned status displayed here is deceptive, however. I have completed enough levels supposedly to be able to recognize over 60% of characters in typical text, but from my experiments with Chinese newspapers, it is closer to about 40%. The number of errors in the English text also increases in the later progressive lessons as if less proofreading were being done. An amusing example is where a bride is described as "newly web."
Great APP
One of my top 5 APPS I like that it shows you stroke order, and the color code when you write a stroke in the correct order.
One of my top ten Chinese apps
I can practice writing, and self test. The background information on the characters is useful for memory retention. The app works great, and I find myself reaching for it at least 2 times a week.
Great app, needs to add sentences next.
Great app for understanding the characters, especially under "Progressive Study." Sample sentences and phrases are provided but it would be great to practice writing simple sentences within the app by strokes. I like the video animation for the stroke order, the examples of usage and definitions. Money well spent!
Fantastic!
This program is a great sublime to other learning you may be doing. It is white intense, but worth your time.
Great!
Great app!
Appropriate for more serious Mandarin learners.
Don't be fooled by the lack of fun animated games this app is actually quite helpful. Mandarin learners will benefit from the stroke order videos and character writing practice. A more advanced Chinese learner is able to recognize characters by their radicals, and this is one of the few apps that teaches basic stroke composition/radicals. Buy this app, practice writing with a real pencil and paper and you will be well on your way to understanding basic Chinese sentences through the meaning of characters. This app focuses more on characters than grammar or reading though so it's not perfect, but I haven't found a better app for learning Mandarin characters. The app even gives you the meaning based on the characters etymology and structure. Well designed app! Learn your Mandarin characters here and enjoy the animated apps like MindSnacks Mandarin for tonal/fast recognition studies. Don't buy this if you are just learning Mandarin for a quick week in China or don't plan on practicing the language through reading. This will not help the people who just need quick study to get by in China. Buy a phrase book in your local bookstore for that.
Trace and trace again.
This is a great way for beginners and above to learn and practice characters.
