  • No multi syllable words?

    By detroitquattro (Pcmac user)

    I was very excited about this game. Until... I went to play the word wèntí which means "problem". Then I realized there is a big wèntí, you cannot play multi-syllable words. Yikes. Neither can you add onto another player's word with more syllables. Jiéguǒ, you cannot use the most common words. Add these features and you have got an awesome app.
  • Question Girl

    By Cimle (Pcmac user)

    I've always wanted to learn Chinese! This app is not only fun but very educational. What I think is another amazing aspect of the app is that players get to earn extra points with the amount of correct chinese characters they can identify.
  • Pinyin played does not reflect word played list

    By ChengSZ (Pcmac user)

    Playing a game with my girlfriend. She played "Sun" which is shown on the board so is she word play list. On my end, I see she playd "sou" while the board shows "sun". I played "men". She see mian on word played while board shows men. This is an annoying bug. Plz fix
  • Great!

    By pastafarm42 (Pcmac user)

    I love all the little details in this game.... the dictionary and quizzes make it way more helpful I feel like I'm actually learning. I hope a lot of teachers use this game with their students! They really should!
