Purpose-built for Chinese.

Every other app bolts Chinese onto a generic language engine. Longtang was designed from day one for characters, tones, and radicals. Nothing else.

WORD MAP

You've never seen your vocabulary like this.

Other apps give you a number.<br><br>Longtang gives you a map. Seven concentric rings, one per HSK level, with every word positioned by topic. Food words cluster together. Time words cluster together. You don't scroll a list. You see the entire language laid out in front of you.<br><br>Faint dots are words you haven't touched. Amber means in progress. Solid means locked in. Pinch to zoom from 10,700 words down to a single character.<br><br>This is what knowing Chinese actually looks like.

TEXT READER

Any Chinese text. Yours in seconds.

Share a WeChat message, copy an article, paste homework from your tutor. Longtang segments every word instantly. Tap to look up. Tap again to save for review.<br><br>The reader color-codes what you know, what you're learning, and what's new, then tells you your comprehension percentage and the text's HSK level. Save all new words in one tap. Every text you read is saved, so you can come back later and see exactly how much more you understand.<br><br>This is what 'bring your own content' actually looks like.

Everything else you'd expect. And then some.

Tone drills for all 20 combinations.

Pair drills, sandhi rules (3-3, 一, 不), minimal pairs that target your weak spots, and a progress grid showing exactly which tone pairs you nail and which trip you up.

114,000-entry dictionary.

Full CC-CEDICT with stroke order diagrams baked in. Search by English, pinyin, simplified, or traditional. Results before you finish typing. One tap to save to review.

FSRS spaced repetition.

The open-source algorithm that beats SM-2 in peer-reviewed studies. Adjusts intervals per card based on your performance. You remember more, review less.

9,500+ stroke order diagrams.

Animated color-coded strokes for every character. Radical structure, construction logic, and writing order. The difference between memorizing a shape and understanding it.

People who take Chinese seriously use Longtang

I share articles from WeChat straight into Longtang and save all the new words in one tap. It replaced Anki, Pleco, and that tone app I could never remember the name of.
Sarah K.
The tone pair drills found my blind spot — I was confusing 2nd and 3rd tone on almost everything. Two weeks later my tutor noticed the difference.
Thomas R.
I printed character practice sheets for my weakest 20 characters and stuck them on the fridge. No other app does that.
Lena W.
I paste my homework into the reader and it tells me the HSK level, detects grammar patterns, and highlights words I don't know yet. It's like having a tutor look over my shoulder.
