HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (611 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription35%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This isn't bad, it just requires a paid subscription to get the full course.
★★★★★ there's no way maintenance is too expensive to give us the bare minimum.
★★★★★ I have an intermediate level, but the app requires a subscription to move to a higher level.
Lost data, sync, backup13%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have now lost all my progress, my coins, my badges, my 168 day streak and my desire to keep trying to use this app.
★★★★★ If I have to switch to another app mid-lesson, then come back later, iOS has kicked Hello Chinese out of memory and the progress is lost.
★★★★★ I returned to it now to find that they've gone all in on AI generated imagery.
Wrong or poor results13%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I'm actually glad they don't have family share, because if they did I would probably have paid for it before realizing how useless the voice feedback is.
★★★★★ There was nothing wrong with the simple real photos they used to use.
★★★★★ Why do you use í and ì tones wrong?
Bugs, things not working9%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Then the audio files started glitching really badly but I could figure out what the sentences were based on context.
★★★★★ I paid for Premium Plus subscription and it does not work
Limits, credits, locked features9%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Decent app, but the voice recordings will give you credit for correct pronunciation even if you just say blah blah blah in varying tones.
★★★★★ The main course is very limited without payment, app barely lasted a week and now I have to pay for premium to continue.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Since there is much more content to learn now, please bring back the 1.0 automated review system. 4★, Oct 19, 2026
  • I just wish it was more aesthetically pleasing but it's perfect for Chinese learners 4★, Oct 5, 2026
  • Learning so much and it's helping support my classroom mandarin lessons^-^ I love the “podcast” —wish it was a real podcast, that my hugest suggestion. 5★, Sep 17, 2026
  • I ended up paying for premium but wish there was more free content. 4★, Sep 1, 2026
  • I wish I had option to say I can't listen, only read 4★, Aug 4, 2026
  • | wish you didn't have to get premium but over all really good app and I love the teacher talks they help me so much 4★, Jul 24, 2026
  • If they want to put out a demo, they should have written up front that it's a demo. 1★, Jul 19, 2026
  • The sentence construction exercises are probably some of the most valuable, but they seem to be less and less common (even “fill in the blanks” sentence construction would be great). 5★, Jul 5, 2026

Looks great2%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ To summarize: great core curriculum with a TON of content, you'll need other apps eventually for specific skills, and I hope that the questionable design decisions don't eventually ruin the app.

Latest reviews, United States App Store.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Better than Duolingo

You can tell that they put some time into making this, and it shows. There is a quality to the immersive lessons an all language platform could never focus on. The only downside is that is paid.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Best app

Love it so much

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Great app for learning Chinese

The app includes listening, speaking and writing Chinese. A great tool for beginners learning Chinese

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Best Chinese learning software

Best one to learn

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Paid

Good free start then you gotta pay but it’s pretty good lessons

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Fine if paying

This isn’t bad, it just requires a paid subscription to get the full course. Not a fan.
