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!

Took off a couple stars because they have the wrong stroke order for 我. I pointed this out to them last year and they said they would fix it, but it is still wrong. I don't know how many others could be wrong. If you can live with the fact that you may be learning the wrong stroke, it's 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.

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!

Trainchinese, this is a useful app. I have some requests that would make it even more useful for learning characters. 1. Please don't scroll the pinyin and definitions, especially in practice. 2. When pausing the game, please don't cover the pinyin and definitions with the tips message box (I want to pause so that I can look at those!). 3. Please permit user to turn off music and sound effects, yet still play the pronunciation. 4. Please don't darken the screen during practice. I can see how that might enhance the excitement of the game but it's detrimental during practice. If the paid version already does these things, I will purchase; if not, I will just use the free version.
