Edit: The app remains one of the more useful ones on the market but over time the gamification of the app has become more and more annoying. Little animations about combos interrupting my study, animations of points going into bags after finishing a short segment, messages about daily streaks - it's too much. I'd have liked to work my way through the new course as it does have some words/grammar I am unfamiliar with but the repetition of known words plus that fluff makes it unbearable.

We are sorry for the experience you've had! For now, you could turn off the combo animations and motivational messages by disabling "Motivational messages" in Settings. We’d really appreciate it if you could share more about your thoughts with us via in-app feedback with some screenshots to help us better understand your needs. Thanks in advanced!

The best app for beginners, but the new HSK 3.0 course feels very rushed. The exercises are often not clear showing an image for which you need to come up with a relevant statement, and various exercises feel AI generated. The voice speaking words out loud is different for different words, and the speaking speed setting is ignored when switching between the courses. With time it will likely become as polished as their HSK 2.0 course, but for now it's not worth paying to be a beta tester.

Much better than Duolingo though similar in setup. You have to think more for each answer. Fun short stories to read, already after just a few lessons. I compared both free versions. Free version is only for the first part, use it, even if you're not gonna pay for the rest. Duolingo stays free if you can stand the ads.
