nice functionality , but confusing menu layout. just over 100 characters in the free version. But my biggest problem is in some sections, I get simplified characters even though I have it set to traditional characters.

very powerful, well made app. produces complete familiarity with the characters. if I could only use one resource, this would be the one.

thank you for your app Chinese guru. I tried to find something suitable to my Superchinese lessons and this app is the best option imho, it provides exactly what Superchinese can't provide, much better than Scritter imho.
