[2013-05-27] A Google User: Want your money does not indicate that a liscence has to be purchased |
|
[2013-02-23] A Google User: They don't help with problems I bought a new phone but the license I already bought doesn't work, and no body will answer my emails. I recommended no one buy the license until I change this review after they answer me and help me with this problem |

[2012-11-24] A Google User: Excellent program for learning characters This program is great for learning characters both simplified and traditional. Pairs great with the Google Pinyin IME for finding a character. So far I have not come across a character that it does not know. To use this program, you just need to tap the top left square, and enter the character you want to practice in pinyin, and then it will play an animation of the stroke order as may times as you need to see it. There is even a test mode to practice your strokes, it is easy to change between viewing the character or hiding it so that you can really practice how it looks without seeing the end result. The application will also let you switch to the simplified or traditional version easily if it exists. I have the licence which is only 7 USD. There seems to be a lot of comments saying how outrageous this single licence is, as if people changed phones on a weekly basis. I would like to compare this with the 'Chinese in a flash' flashcard sets I own. I own both volumes which cost around 20 USD each. They show the traditional characters but not the stroke order for them. Thank you EON for this program! |

[2012-09-20] A Google User: no customer service my phone broke, got a new one and reinstalled estroke, my license is being rejected. repeatedly attempted to contact customer service and they don't respond. |

[2012-09-09] A Google User: License is unacceptable. The app is quite good. However I won't pay for it as the license is for 1 phone. You have to buy another license anytime you change your phone. The wifi requirement to download is also a drawback. I could download the zip file from the web page but this extra step is really inconvenient when I have unlimited data plan. |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: Horrible licensing issue You cant move to another device.. heck, you can even reinstall on the same device if your phone is went back for a repair!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 license per 1 android device id |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Bad design Program can't download needed db via phone's data connection - insists on WiFi. Stupid! |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: Great app! Needs characters in a sentence but otherwise a great app. |
|
[2012-06-24] A Google User: OK Cantonese pronunciation in jyutping but no Yale. Interface is not easy to use. |
|
[2012-06-14] A Google User: Unreasonable If you change phones you are not allowed to move app to new phone. Your must pay for app again. |
|
[2012-05-16] A Google User: A potentially ★GREAT★ app, but contains deal breaker! I ★really★ liked this app, it has great potential – so much so that aftr 20 min I went to purchase it! (To hlp you understand how rare that is, in 3 yrs I've only found 4 apps worthy of purchase!) The app is "pricey",but that's not too bad.When I saw that the lic. prohibited me from moving it to a replacement phone ★regardless★of reason – old phone's lost,broken or stolen... or upgrade to new phone,whatever – "pricey" becomes "stupid waste of money"! It's the principle of it! I'm cc: this to the Dev. |
|
[2012-02-17] A Google User: 30 days trial Beware that the licences are not transferrable, every new phone will need a new licence. I paid on an old phone, not about to pay again as this is not essential tool. |
|
[2012-01-26] A Google User: Good but bit pricey I like it and want to buy license of it but I think is bit pricey |
|
[2011-10-02] A Google User: A lot of potential but iPhone-design, no recording Seems to have a lot of potential with its huge database. The design is directly copied from iPhone so back-button doesn't act like it should - everytime I hit it the app closes instead of going back! Redesign needed! Also it has buttons up in the top left corner like iPhone apps - why would anyone put a button up there - hard to reach unless you're holding the phone up side down. It would also be nice if you added recordings of the characters. Right now only of the strokes. |
