Good iOS app for vocab and grammar?

[AlanB]

I have been looking for decent iOS apps, I currently learn vocab from memrise but I feel like it's not as good as some other online lessons for PC and since I am often not at home I'd like a mobile alternative also, they do not need to be free but expensive pricing could be a turn down. Thanks in advanced for replies.

You don't say what level you are at. This little app might be suitable for you, I use it and find it really useful http://www.hellochinese.cc/

 

Here is the developers topic here on the forum http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/49944-hellochinese-%E2%80%93-new-chinese-mandarin-learning-app-learn-chinese-speak-chinese/#comment-382947

 

I did a little review in my blog here http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/blog/108/entry-605-my-learning-materials-and-resources/

 

My blog also has loads more about the things I use for study, you might find that helpful too.

 

I would highly recommend Pleco, IMHO it is something no student of chinese should be without.

 

P.S. Hello chinese is free, ad free and in app purchase free.

Best if you give an example of what PC apps you are using. Then people can give a more targetted suggestion of an iOS.

I am completely new I guess you could say, I am currently not using any desktop app but from what I read online, the iOS apps aren't as good. I find memrise to be good for vocab but doesn't do anything else besides that.

I only use pleco. My HK friend tried it out (totally non techie guy) and he rates it highly.
