SuperChinese - Learn Chinese

I’ve been a long-time user and generally love this app, but I’m very disappointed with the recent design changes. The new animations and transitions feel unnecessary and distracting. For example, when I tap the translate icon, I used to get the English translation instantly. Now there’s an animation that adds a delay, which becomes frustrating when combining multiple lessons.
The new “waving” recording animation is another example-it might look fun, but when I’m learning a difficult language, I don’t want relaxing or flashy effects. I need focus, immersion, and efficiency. These movements actually make it harder to memorize words and sentences.
If possible, I wish there were an “on off option” to enable or disable all the shiny distractions.

The best

It’s a good app but when I go pronounce words it makes the other half of the word always wrong. I spent 15 minutes on trying to pronounce the word “jìxù” and it kept saying I got it wrong even though I didn’t.
