App will not work without google play services. I absolutely LOVED this app. It took me from only knowing how to say "ni hao" to passing hsk2 mock tests in only 4 months. I bought the paid version and loved every minute of it. But, it doesn't sync, even with a pro account. I repeatedly have my progress reset, on the same phone, at random intervals. I just decided to use a dedicated phone that has Google play on it to access this app- it's that good. But it won't open on Lineage OS.

Thanks for your message and support! 🐼 The app depends on native Android/iOS services (voice input, sync, purchases), which LineageOS often lacks. With a Khanji School account, your PRO and progress stay safe. Write us at hello@khanjischool.com and we’ll see how we can help with your purchase.

This is a great app with lots of great content. It should be 6 stars out of 5, but there are 2 problems with it. My perpetual grumble about not being able to mute annunciation in word games aside, the most fundamental limitation is the cycle length in the word games. I.e., words you get wrong should come up more frequently so you can learn from mistakes more easily . This is also a bit of an issue in reinforcing correct answers.

Excellent Chinese learning app that lets you practice your skills in a game form. I like that there are games for tone training and pronunciation. Also, some of the games can be played silently, like the hanzi character games, so it's an option when you have some time to fill in public (like waiting in a line). I'd love to see an AI chat feature get added!
