[2013-07-30] A Google User: Excellent Now it can already be open. Thanks. |
|
[2013-07-29] A Google User: Good Good |
|
[2013-07-27] A Google User: Good content, bad UI Update 2013-07-28 Version 3.8.1 fixes the crash bug. ----- The content is really good. Many excellent lessons. Even the free complementary course is very nice. There are lots of useful functions that are really helpful as well. The user interface is a bit messy though and still has lots of bugs, like sometimes you see duplicate lesson entries and sometimes the audio doesn't start playing and there is no error message. |
|
[2013-07-20] A Google User: Works increadibly slowly. |
|
[2013-07-14] A Google User: I can't log in When I try to Sing in it sends me to the Complete action using and browser. It works fine on my Nexus 7 though. |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Great Great! |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Amazing Best Chinese language learning software on the market. Period. |
|
[2013-07-11] A Google User: Login error I love this app but I can't get into it now. It won't accept my username and password. The website does, but the app does not |
|
[2013-07-07] A Google User: Improved so much in two years! |
|
[2013-07-06] A Google User: great fixes!! Loving this app now. Old comment below: improvements needed in order of priority imo: 1: Option to cache all audio and content needed for a lesson at one time in advance because the train doesnt have 4g/3g/wifi 2: fix text display. Text goes off the right of the screen. Text doesn't wrap properly on samsung galaxy |
|
[2013-07-04] A Google User: Don't update to this version! Previous version worked fine. I just updated only to find this new version is virtually unusable on my nexus :-( Hopefully the developers fix this soon. |
|
[2013-06-28] A Google User: Totally awesome...except for one thing I LOVE ChinesePod!!! It is making my life in China so much better. The only reason I didn't give the app 5 stars is because when I download several lessons to my phone at home, so that I can listen to them when I'm out & about, they don't show up in my Self Study area, unless I also bookmark them. Sometimes even then they don't show up...even though I have my settings to show downloaded & bookmarked lessons. It's a minor hiccup, but would be nice if it was fixed. But ChinesePod is still totally awesome! |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Amazing Is the best aplication for learning chinese!! |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Much better than earlier versions Will not run after update, now it is useless. |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: Wow I love it... |
|
[2013-06-15] A Google User: Self learning tool I love this app for self learning and vocabulary maintenance. |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Nice Well designed and integrated nicely with main site. Not really missing any components for a great experience. Professional. |
|
[2013-06-06] A Google User: Very helpful Works great with my S3 |
|
[2013-05-29] A Google User: Continually improving access to a great learning resource. Works well on my Asus Transformer tablet. |
|
[2013-05-28] A Google User: Great lessons, improving app Chinesepod is great on content, and the app is critical to studying on the go; unfortunately, their apps are always buggy, so expect crashes frequently or audio lessons to stop playing as your phone does complex things like get emails. |
|
[2013-05-27] A Google User: Still no landscape mode on Nexus 7 The app works mostly, but on my Nexus 7 tablet it still doesn't do landscape mode. Also, it would be really good if it could download the files for an entire course at a time, since in Asia when traveling very often there is no wifi access, so I have to study offline quite a bit. This should be pretty easy to program, since the app (or more precisely, the server) already knows which lessons constitute a course. Also, the upload of the avatar to the server fails consistently with "try again later". I think this is a bug. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Great! New set of features get the app as useful as the website. |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: Great But interface could be better |
|
[2013-05-04] A Google User: Amazing Tech Support I had an issue with not being able to listen to lessons or any audio files for that matter. I sent an email about the bug and within 24 hours an update was released and the bug was fixed. Now THAT is tech support. |
|
[2013-05-04] A Google User: Great! This is a really valuable app. |
|
[2013-05-03] A Google User: Great ap Really convenient way of learning chinese while running/shopping/on the bus. Very good support too with quick replies if there are any problems-thanks chinesepod! |
|
[2013-05-01] A Google User: Absolutely the best! And FUN! This app seriously improved my quality of life while living in Shenzhen for 4 months. I came knowing no Chinese and left knowing more than any of my colleagues! |
|
[2013-04-30] A Google User: Outstanding ... Better each update |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: Chinesepid is great but app needs improving Vocab section is not as good as it was. need to be able to categorise and mark as studied. Not all the text displays on my screen. Not a great app, shame because chinesepod content is absolutely top notch |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: cant sync my flashcards. Thats the only reason i use it! |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: Great app, wonderful contents As a former teacher out university Chinese, I can only say that this beats everything. |
|
[2013-04-27] A Google User: Nexus layout and crashes fixed. v3.4.1 uses new layouts and reduces memory used for images. Should now with on Nexus and others. If not, please send screenshots and how to reproduce problem to the email address listed. |
|
[2013-04-26] A Google User: THE App to Learn Mandarin With great lessons and supplementary material ChinesePod is easily the best resource I have ever used on the Internet to learn Mandarin. |
|
[2013-04-26] A Google User: Makes Chinese fun to learn |
|
[2013-03-04] A Google User: Disappointing Sloppy design. It's functional but not great. For a paid product this is highly disappointing. |
|
[2013-02-22] A Google User: upset find nothing interested uninstall |
|
[2013-02-13] A Google User: Not very good Buggy, weird errors, unintuitive, crashes a lot. Lets you add foods, and that's good, but it doesn't make up for the unreliability. |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: Android - Gingerbread version Disappointing that the app which will download for older phones with Gingerbread operating system is buggy. Newer phones with ICS will get a better app (tried on a friends Samsung 3). After paying for a subscription, I find I cant sync my lessons with what I have chosen on the web site. I believe it has been confirmed elsewhere that Chinese Pod will not be fixing the Gingerbread app version. As Gingerbread is still about 50% of the market, thats unacceptable. Disclosing this info at purchase time would have shown some respect for the customer. Much respect for the Chinese Pod resources, but not much for the business model that fails to put resources in good ongoing support and app updates that cover all their apps. |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Pretty good. Please add iOS features and get rid of some bugs. Great app. I use ChinesePod more often now w/the N7. Please make the dialog and audio play buttons on the same screen so you don't have to switch screens all the time. For both Android and iOS. This would be huge. The 3 sec ff/rwd buttons are missing and the replay option too. Please add! Bugs. Some audio for expansion items don't play (network err) but on a browser, does. Scrolling while audio plays kills audio. Keep up the great work! |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Good app Content is great, app is average... for that, you get 4 stars. |
|
[2012-11-18] A Google User: Buggy at best This software crashes at least two or three times everyone you try to listen to a lesson. The content is great, was referred to it by a friend, but the app is garbage. Please fix the bugs. |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Pretty good. Works much better on ICS than previous systems, so if you have an older device running gingerbread, don't bother. Do NOT allow auto-update: quality control of updates has historically been poor. |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Galaxy s3 Crash 10 times |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Doesn't work sgs3 Doesn't work for me. I either crashes or download doesn't finish. Fix it and I think about using it again. |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Functional, but needs a lot of work While I'm a big fan of ChinesePod's curriculum, methods, website, etc, this app is not on par with the rest of CP's offering. Using this software to listen to lessons on my Galaxy S3, the app crashes about 75% of the time. I should not have to try 4 times to successfully perform an action once with any quality app. This poor software is making me consider ending my subscription to CP. For the love of Dashan, please fix this app. |
|
[2012-09-06] A Google User: Very unstable. Could not use it even once on Motorola razor |
|
[2012-08-03] A Google User: SGSII Always crash @ICS. Fixed this and ill give u 5 stars |
|
[2012-07-28] A Google User: Poor This was a very good app. Now, it is not. Everything is an add on "cost" and many of the dialogues are inaudible. Ken sounds as though he is mumbling |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Screen UI lacks a lot of functionality But the product is great! |
|
[2012-06-27] A Google User: Fantastic The new version is great. Looks fantastic on my big screen, and it all works smoothly. Got me hooked again. |
|
[2012-05-31] A Google User: Anonymous Good |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: This new version is great |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: The site itself is great, just this app is defective. Always have problems downloading, always have to reinstall. |
|
[2012-03-10] A Google User: Fun way to learn But the most useful part is the audio files -- Ms. Zhu is super! The web content is great for exercises, but could use more grammatical information. |
|
[2012-02-29] A Google User: content good app poor fails on simple usability. you have to download lesson data then click the listen button to download the dialogue. I don't think the download queue has ever worked. when you add a word to your flash card list, a dialog box appears over the word, telling you its being sent to the servers. I'd rather spend time looking at the characters. it's a bit of a dog, and crashes a lot, but it's the best of it's breed. I wish Chinese pod would pay this app some attention, this is the only way I use Chinese pod. |

[2012-01-21] A Google User: Very good app Works well on desire hd. One small improvement would be to have a little indicator in lesson lists to see which lessons are already downloaded on device. |
