Very useful app for learning characters and radicals - almost addictive! I like the fact that there is both traditional and simple options and the compound option for extra learning. Well worth the $1.99. I highly recommend this app!

Description
This innovative Chinese Flashcards app from Clavis Sinica uses a unique multiple-choice format and wide-ranging usage examples to help you master Chinese characters and radicals. The app includes 19 built-in flashcard sets for a total of over 2,130 vocabulary items.
The Class I character set contains the 300 most commonly used characters in modern Chinese, the Class II set contains the next 500 most frequently used characters, while the Class III set contains the next 782. The Radicals set includes all 189 character radicals.
You can view common usage examples for any character or radical to help you learn and remember unfamiliar items. For any character, you can view a list of common compound words in which it is used. For any radical, you can view a list of common characters that it forms. Both types of usage list include characters, pinyin, and English definitions.
In addition, fifteen theme-based sets each include 25 commonly used words relating to everyday categories such as academic subjects, animals, beverages, body parts, business terms, colors, countries, food, weather, and so on.
Characters can be displayed in either simplified or traditional form. The cards in the character and radical sets are arranged in order of increasing complexity, making it easy to work your way up from simpler to harder. Cards you get wrong are automatically reinserted into your current deck. A final score is displayed as a percentage at the end of each session.
When you answer an item incorrectly on any test, it is added to a personal Review List, so you can go back and work on less familiar characters separately at any time. Review List flashcard sessions incorporate a spaced repetition algorithm, so that youll encounter more frequently the items that youve missed most often in the past. Items are removed from the Review List only after youve answered them correctly several times in a row in different review sessions.

Chinese Flashcards
Does not work
This app does not work on iPad. Does not get past splash screen
Could be a 5 star
I love the app..I love the theme categories. I would give it 5 stars, but I think there is a bug.....The app does not seem to recognize when you give correct answers. Therefore, I keep seeing the same cards over again and not getting new ones.
Terrific Tool!!!
This is a great tool for studying Chinese characters. Easy and fast, I can eliminate the ones I know and focus on the ones I dont. Using it on the IPad - the first version had a bug which didnt recognize correct choices, but that was quickly remedied with the upgrade to version 1.1. I learned Chinese as a missionary over 20 years ago. This is the perfect tool for me, reviewing essential character sets and having fun getting back on top of the language. Worth the two bucks several times over!
Awesome
This is a well done app. Well worth the $2. Give it a try!!!
Great tool!
Flashcards are a well-known way to improve your vocabulary, and this implementation, with its multiple choice format, is excellent! Very useful!
Very Useful for Chinese Learning!
I am a second year Chinese student and this is an invaluable tool for my Chinese learning. In class we are learning phrases and vocabulary, but we have not focused on learning the radicals at all. This will undoubtedly help me to understand and interpret the meanings of characters that I havent seen before. Not to mention, this app has a very unique and easy to use interface. The multiple choice flash card method is much more effective than the normal flashcard method where you are "on the honor system" to say whether you got that character right or not. I love it!
