August 31, 2013, 06:53 AMI have purchased it. I like it. Though the audio quality could be better. But you get used to it quickly. But well worth it.
I wish I had this when I first started learning. My level is probably intermediate. But I think this app is very useful. Has many key phrases. Many. And you can save them. It also has a breakdown and definition of the words and characters. Pinyin. And like it says you can record your voice. Also gives you the option of a second speaker (male) speaking the phrase at a slower speed. Overall for me very useful and practical. And lots of phrases. Unlike others I've bought they seemed to have lots of phrases but didn't really and a lot of them were just one liners. Short sentences. This one has heaps of recorded phrases that are useful. And you can save your favourites. Oh you can also copy and paste the phrases very easily. Pinyin Hanzi. Very useful. The "other" phrase apps are a waste of time compared to this one. For me. The only downside I can see is the audio quality is a little rough. But like I said it doesn't bother you after about 2 mins practice.
For beginners a must.
Dont know how useful for above intermediate because I'm not there yet.
Hope this was helpful. Thanks guys. Great helpful app.

This was helpful. Now i'm curious. Is this app better than just using a sentence from a Cpod elementary or intermediate lesson? Is the app any better than that, or is it that the app is better organized and searchable for phrases/sentences that you want to say in Chinese than Cpod?

I'm glad I bought it. I need many tools for learning Chinese.
Cheers. Come to think of it, there's sooo many phrases in this thing.
Exhausting in a good way.
