Rapidly developing, premier app in this category.
whoever designed this really knows what they are doing. very efficient. Thanks a lot. The order of activities is logical, layout simple yet balanced. The less is more principal has been well applied. It's as if I designed this myself. All the features I want to learn Chinese are here: Ability to copy text into a reader, examples, hsk ordered quizzes; excellent.
