What it actually is

A phone app that feeds you a few new words a day and schedules reviews by spaced repetition, drawing on 20,000+ words in 65+ packs, from every level of the new HSK 3.0 to chengyu, travel and work vocabulary; you can also build your own lists. Each word comes with example sentences and a breakdown of its meaning. It is the easy option for people who want Anki-style retention without building or configuring decks, and the free tier is usable, with premium features on top. Like any SRS it teaches recognition, not conversation, so pair it with listening and reading.
