User Reviews

• “Best mandarin learning app… worth paying for” — A user said it’s free to try, but progress requires a yearly basic subscription. They also noted that while apps like Duolingo don’t cover Chinese as deeply, HelloChinese adds more context that needs explaining. They requested more control over which features are enabled, since they only want speaking/listening and don’t care much about writing.



• “Learned more in the demo than in a week on other apps” — Another user reported that the demo helped them remember what they learned, and they upgraded to the Premium+ plan after the demo ended.
