The best app to practice writing Chinese characters that I have found. I like how it has an option for traditional characters with zhuyin and the game to write the characters as they fall. At first I thought they had the wrong stroke order for 我, but then I realized I previously learned the simplified stroke order and that it's different depending on simplified or traditional.

wow, I'm impressed! It's exactly what I was looking for and works really smoothly, and actually more fun to play than I thought. I wanted something that focused just on character writing as I can read already, and this delivers everything you'd want. I also really appreciate that the upgrade to full version is a single time purchase and not a subscription, or else I wouldn't have bought it. Kai upgrade is a must too. Well-designed and well-executed, thank you and please keep it up!
