Bopomofo Master

The app

Bopomofo Master turns the 37 symbols into five games. It is free on iOS and Android, works offline once downloaded, and tracks which symbols you personally get wrong so your practice concentrates where it is needed.

★ 4.6 from 20 ratings across the App Store and Google Play.

The five games

  • Symbol Match

    Match each zhuyin symbol to its sound against the clock.

  • Character Master

    Hear a word, pick the right Chinese character. Four difficulty tiers.

  • Sentence Typer

    Build whole sentences on a real zhuyin keyboard.

  • Rocket Master

    Answer correctly to refuel the rocket. Miss, and it drops.

  • Bopomofo Playroom

    A bright, playful corner for young children — no timers, no scores.

What else is in there

  • Real recordings, not synthesis

    Every symbol and over a thousand individual characters are recorded by native Taiwanese speakers.

  • It knows your weak spots

    The app tracks accuracy per symbol and per character, so it can build drills from the ones you actually miss.

  • Streaks that survive a bad week

    A streak-freeze mechanic means one missed day does not wipe out a month of work.

  • A leaderboard

    Global rankings by total XP and by individual game, if that is what keeps you coming back.

  • Levels worth reaching

    Seven levels from Zhuyin Apprentice to Bopomofo Elite, each with its own version of Bao, the app's bear.

  • Works offline

    Audio and content are bundled, so a flight or a metro tunnel does not stop a session.
