Very good chart！

The app keeps on closing ... Wont recommend this app..i deleted and reinstall same result. I am using ipad 4

とても使い易く、発音も綺麗です(^_^)

This is really nice app to learn pronunciation of pinyin. I highly recommend it.

I am in my 4th year of Mandarin study and being in my early 60s, its way too late to think of learning Chinese characters. I must count on Pin Ying to help me with pronunciation of new words and phrases and this is my most referenced app during my studies. I give it my highest recommendation for usefulness.

After struggling with my Chinese pronunciation and tones for years this app has been extremely useful for getting things straight in my mind. Practice alone first with the included audio then with a teacher to correct.

This app is nicely laid-out and very easy to use. Ive found it especially useful for hearing the difference between s and sh, z/zh, -n/-ng, as well as practicing tones.

After using a similar chart online to perfect my pronunciation, I noticed I was far ahead of my classmates, who still didnt have a solid grasps of the basic pinyin. The iPad app makes it even more convenient.

A great app that will really help anyone who wants the foundational basics of pinyin. I wish this app had been available a year ago when I started my Chinese lessons. Love love love love it!!

Probably one of the most useful exercises you can do when starting to learn Chinese is to solidify your Chinese pronunciation by practicing listening to, then saying, all of the possible syllables. An interactive pinyin chart is a great way to do that, and the design on this one is perfect! Several sessions in bed with AllSet Learning Pinyin will be a very educational experience, and your Chinese pronunciation will be much better than that of your Chinese-learning peers who dont take the time to train their tongues.

Whoever put this together… Thank You! I travel, work and direct market products in China. Communication is very important in every day life… especially business! Believe it or not… Most people in China dont know or speak the english language. Therefore, knowing how to communicate with them in their native language will greatly enhance ones chances for success! I also like the support from AllSet Learnings website. Thank you for Making it Simple!

This chart would be perfect if it werent for its defective audio. I understand that its SUPPOSE to play the sounds of initials, finals and blended combinations of those two when touching each sound, but somehow, the program doesnt work. I went to settings and made sure audio was turned on. Tapping each sound displays a dialogue box with the symbol of the volume icon, but ultimately there is no sound coming out of my speakers! I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it several times. Im running this on my iPad2, so its not quite that obsolete yet and I have the latest iOS installed. John Pasden and AllSetLearning, I like you and I love ChinesePod, but plz fix the audio bug defect in your next iteration update. Then it would be awesome and indispensable resource. Much appreciate it.

This app is working fine for me and I think its great if you are just starting to learn Chinese. I have trouble distinguishing between the 2nd and 3rd tones, but this app has helped. If you forget how certain letter combinations are pronounced just open up the app and find what your looking for. I think it would be nice if the app had a testing mode, where you could guess what the sounds were and be able to write the answers in to make it a little harder.

used to work great, now it just crashes whenever I scroll the chart. was a good app when it worked.

This release is much more stable, which is great! I love being able to see the pinyin syllables and their relationships with others. Its also nice to have all the pronunciations with all tones present. Also, I like that the app has been localized for 简体中文, helps to keep the language immersion going!

This app is very done. I can now see the different between pinyin and IPA. The only thing is that the pronunciation does not work.

I am studying traditional East Asian medicine, and this app helps me out when studying to get the pronunciation . . . much better than I could ever do on my own!
