- Chinese learners using signs and menus
- Worth noticing
- The site says location is saved with a photo only if the learner permits it, and that photos stay private.
Field notes
The capture flow accepts a new photo or an image from the camera roll, and the page says location is stored only with permission. Its sample material includes pinyin, contextual meaning, and linked appearances of the same word across separate notices. The site also describes a graded syllabus, selectable lesson levels, and progress tracking; these are presented as product features on the homepage, not independently verified here.
