Competitor ResearchLearn to write Mandarin Chinese Phonetic Symbols (Bopomofo) for iPhone & iPod Touch

Pros You can write Mandarin

characters. Characters are nicely organized.

Cons The interface is an eyesore. It doesn’t appear to be able to

grade how well a character is written.

Pros Detailed characters. Decent interface.

user can not trace in the app. Confusing funcitons.

How we Beat the Competition

We plan to trump the other apps by providing a way to teach Mandarin Chinese writing in a way that feels seamless and enjoyable.

We will do this by making an app that feels natural, interactive, and educational.
