I've been messing around with a few games/apps that were running real bad on 16. one thing I've noticed is emulating 3DS games is now actually working. Pokemon X/Y is running at a solid 30fps now while it used to barely maintain 15fps before. I've also not had any of the visual glitches I was having before so all-round, it's been a good update.

Just felt like making a sort of half way mark post for my first 30 days using the app. I originally started using SuperTest but switched to SuperChinese 15 days ago as Im not at all interested in taking the HSK test. I’m entirely working toward being  chat online and watch dramas. I’m hoping there will be a possible benefit in my job, but so far they’ve been more focused on Korean partners, so for now it’s just my personal goals. 

the first thing I will say is that this app has been the absolute best for combining speaking and reading into the course. The fact that every new vocab word and grammar phrase has that microphone button that instantly plays back my own voice is so amazingly helpful in making sure I’m using the right tones. I’ll frequently catch myself messing up tones on longer sentences, so being able to just sit there recording myself over and over until I break whatever problem was in my brain is so useful. 

I’m also loving how you jump back into any of the scenarios in the “textbook” part of the profile. When I’m done with reviews and my daily lesson, I’ll often just go in there and  read some of them and make sure I’m actually able to understand them and I’m not just mentally translating hanzi into English like I used to when I was using Duolingo. 

I was going to add a “what I wish the app had” section here, but it’s only very minor things like more in-depth grammar explanations which are already available for free on the Chinese grammar wiki, so not something very important right now.
