Description
Birdgo turns learning into short, game-like lessons with Leo, a cheerful little bird.
LEARN TO WRITE JAPANESE, KOREAN AND CHINESE
Watch each stroke, trace the faint character, then write it on your own. Birdgo checks the order and direction of every stroke the moment you lift your finger.
• Japanese: Hiragana, Katakana and 431 kanji from the words of a full beginner (N5) course, with on and kun readings
• Korean: vowels, consonants, then building Hangul blocks piece by piece
• Chinese: basic strokes, radicals, the 300 characters of HSK 1 and the rules of stroke order
Memory tips written for English speakers, meanings in plain words, and a daily review of the characters you are about to forget.

Expert Review & Analysis
Honestly kinda random that this app has both Asian languages and chess in it, but I downloaded it to practice my N5 kanji. Teh character tracing screen is surprisingly strict though. I was trying to write 日 and it kept flagging me for stroke order even when I thought I had it right. The little bird character Leo is cute I guess, but it gets annoying when you just want to grind through your daily review and he keeps popping up.
The voice stuff for English isn't bad. I tapped the microphone icon to try the reading aloud part just to see how it works and its actually pretty quick at highlighting the exact sounds you mess up. But then I tried to play a quick chess game against one of the bots during my lunch break and the screen froze for a sec.
Offline mode works fine for the Japanese lessons when I'm on the subway, which is a plus. But forcing chess and stroke order into the same app feels a bit bloated. Decent if you want a bit of everything, but they really need to fix the lag on the mini games.
