Chinese LS Touch

Все ни как не нарадуюсь.

I have used this app daily for two year, more than any other app I have bought for any reason. It is the best! I add my own character sets to follow along with the Heisig method and separate ones for my college class. It is my secret weapon for acing every vocab quiz we get. This app has paid for itself many times over. When I started learning Chinese I felt it would be a coup just to learn to read and listen. I never thought I would be able to WRITE Chinese. But now I am well on my way to doing that thanks to this app.

this could be a great app if the characters were the right ones. so many characters are missing strokes, strokes are too long/short, etc. fix them!

I used the Japanese and Kanji LS apps by Jan Bogner when I was taking Japanese in college and I probably used these apps more than my book. When I decided to pick up some Chinese, I looked for a similar app that had custom word lists, definitions and handwriting practice and quizzing all in the same app. I was pretty happy to find another LS app. Overpriced, but excellent app.

Too expensive for what you get. $5 would be a better price. Good interface, very good content in terms of number of characters and organization, good testing stats. Minor irritant is that the application doesn't indicate when an error is made in a stroke. Major irritant, is errors in the character strokes and in stroke order. So far, I have found over 9% of the character strokes to be in the incorrect order or incorrect in quantity (2 strokes combined as one, or vice versa). Have also found inconsistencies - for example, a radical that is correct in strokes on one character and incorrect in strokes on the other. Developer doesn't seem interested in criticism or suggestions for changes.

This app is GREAT! I have been trying to learn Chinese for about 18 months on-and-off and I have spent hundreds of dollars on audio CDs and book. This app is a steal at the current price. For one, it has so many characters (over 5000) and they are organized to the HSK 1-6 which is really convenient. But the best part is the tests. You can test yourself in 5 different test formats to ensure that you really know the characters, can define the, and know which character is missing in a phrase. I wish that I had this app 18 months ago but at least I found it now. Cheers!

This is the perfect app for practicing writing in Chinese. - It supports simplified as well as traditional characters (good for those of us studying for travel in Taiwan who usually get left out). - It has a large dictionary of words so you won't run out of words to practice like many other similar apps. - The practice mode is very helpful, and the test mode allows you to use the Leitner System, which is a great way to make sure you're reviewing the words that are hardest for you. - The online documentation is extensive, and the creator is great about answering questions if you contact her. Highly recommended!

Works well. I am hoping for an option to use the traditional Chinese characters as they have historical and anthropological significance and are used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and other locales.

For what it does, there is nothing better! Improvements I'd love to see: - New icon - Interface enhancements Thanks for the updates, developer! PS: vocables - I have never heard that word and it's referenced here constantly?

More words Multi-character words Numerous, almost mind-boggling options. Let's you train pinyin to character, English to character, or character to English/pinyin. Literally every option one could think of. Even simplified or traditional characters!! My only complaint, as my Chinese girlfriend has shown me, is sometimes the stroke order seems to be wrong, but I can't remember any examples. :( My only real beef is the words are not ordered by subjects. For example, by food/directions/ etc. Word order seems rather random. If this could somehow be fixed, by creating some ordered training program by subject area, thus would be the must have Chinese language app. Regardless, Really a massive, quality product, which deserves a lot of respect and use.
