Simpler pricing and a fresh coat of paint

    Simpler pricing and a fresh coat of paint

    We reworked our plans down to two clear choices and gave the public pages a redesign to match the rest of the app.

    • New

      One free plan and one Pro plan, with the option to save by paying yearly — no more puzzling over tiers.

    • New

      Every new account now starts with a 14-day trial of the full Pro experience, no credit card required.

    • Improved

      Redesigned the features and pricing pages with our warm paper-and-vermillion look.

    • Fixed

      The navigation bar now stays pinned to the top as you scroll on every page.

  2. Better link previews and a little polish

    Small touches that make the app feel more finished when you share it or move around.

    • New

      Share a word page and it now generates its own preview card, so links look great in messages and social posts.

    • Improved

      Clearer labels on study modes and a tidier title on the stories page.

  3. MandarinAI launches

    Our first public release: a complete study loop that pairs spaced-repetition review with graded stories and natural audio, wrapped in pages you can explore even before you sign up.

    • New

      Tap any word while reading a story to see its meaning without losing your place.

    • New

      A review forecast on your dashboard shows what's coming due, so a study session never feels bottomless.

    • New

      Earn achievements as you build streaks and reach milestones.

    • New

      Public dictionary pages for every word, plus HSK 1–5 and the newer HSK 3.0 word lists and study guides.

    • New

      Sign in with Google, or with an email and password.

    • New

      Natural neural-voice audio on words and full sentences, cached so it plays back instantly.

    • Improved

      Built for your phone: bigger tap targets, sticky rating controls, and a card-first view of your words.

    • Improved

      Clearer memory-strength and “due today” counts that agree across every screen.

    • Fixed

      Study progress counters and empty states now reflect exactly what you've selected to practice.
