About this app
Learn how to write thousands of Chinese characters - it's educational, entertaining and addictive!
Characters fall from the top of the screen — tap them and draw them correctly to score points. Just don't let them reach the bottom, or—kaboom! Lose three and the game is over, but the learning continues: you can review everything that you saw, complete with stroke order diagrams and practice at your own pace. Characters you made the most mistakes on are highlighted at the top of the list.
⇨ It's more than a game!
✓ trainchinese Chinese Writer can test you on more than 5,000 Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters, and features stroke-order diagrams, English explanations and high quality audio recordings for every pronunciation of each one.
✓ The app remembers which characters you've had trouble writing and prioritises them in future games.
⇨ It's suitable for everyone!
✓ Characters are divided into packs by difficulty according to the official HSK standard. Hundreds are included in this free download.
✓ Create your own packs by searching for characters by Pinyin. You can even mix Pinyin, English and Chinese characters in one search to find as many results as possible, and one tap adds them all to your custom pack.
✓ Your kids can play. Your grandmother can too. Now everyone can enjoy the pleasure of learning this beautiful system of writing.
✓ Whatever your writing level, you'll improve with trainchinese Chinese Writer. Beginners can start with simpler characters and at a slower pace, while experienced students will blaze their way through those HSK 4 hanzi!

Can't recommend as the app consistently saves some characters for later rounds of the game. I just played the same character set four times and was forced to write some characters half a dozen times while others appeared only once in later rounds when I had only 3 seconds to learn how to write them. Other than that, I do think it's an engaging way to learn.

This is quite a nice app to play around with if you're already learning to write Chinese characters and can even be played by someone who isn't learning Chinese. But I'm not sure how useful it is as a learning aid. I don't if you have to manually select each pack to work through all characters you started to learn or it will play through them all and always show weak hanzi no matter which pack selected. At what point does the app consider you to have learned a character.

A great app for beginners to learn to read and write Chinese characters. I've been amazed at how much "writing" them with my finger using this app has helped me memorize and learn a few hundred characters already. The pronunciation given with each one further helps reinforce the learning. This app makes learning a lot more fun than staring at a book and trying to memorize letters and words. My one complaint is that there is no way to quit a session midway through and keep the time.
