Latest reviews of Bopomo Blitz app for iPhone and iPad
I found this app more effective than flash cards and it really helps me to memorize the zhuyin symbols.
buggy. had to reinstall three times. still bugs. on the other hand i finally got it working. and it is the only bpmf game i could find
One tiny complaint: for the hanyu pinyin, ㄝ is "ie" and not ever "ê". Otherwise, this game is flawless. We need more games like this. How about one for the English names of the letters of the Greek alphabet? Or many other correspondences? Plenty of room for improvement.
