Pros and cons of Art of Chinese Characters app for iPhone and iPad

Art of Chinese Characters app good for

Thank-you. I am delighted to be learning something about Chinese culture. This is a very sweet teaching app. I think that I will want to find the rest of the lessons (2-7) somewhere, since they arent available through USA APPLE APPS.
This is the most useful app I have used so far in teaching chinese. It is very helpful for students to learn the correct way of writing Chinese characters. And the videos of how words changing over years bring more fun to learning. The images are very beautiful as well. I am very impressed by your work and hope you will develop more series! Thank you very much!
Every painting includes several chinese character. Its a perfect combination!
Great application! Very helpful and well done. After updating to the latest version of ios, the app fails, when I click on the first character in the Learn mode. Fix the bug asap!

Some bad moments

The graphic is pretty cool. The words in this app may not that easy but its really help me to learn how to write chinese characters. I think for those people who desperate to learn mandarin writing, this app is definetely helpful.
The interface design is very attractive. The content is attractive too.
I never think I can learn Chinese like this before! Its very intresting!
This app is extremely useful! It turns Chinese characters into paintings, so learning Chinese characters would be easy and fun.
Really attractively designed, really helpful for the eager Chinese student (le me)
This app is well designed with good pronunciation and content. I downloaded the Free version and played with my almost 7-year-old and she really enjoyed it. We now have the whole set. Chinese characters in the pictograms groups are easy and fun to learn. This app uses pictures and short videos to show the character transformation as well as proper strokes to write each word.
