TL:DR - Duolingo seems like a pretty capable app to teach Chinese overall, with accurate information and a pleasing interface, although you'll want to go somewhere else to learn pinyin and writing specifically. Grammar is also somewhat simplified as the app focuses on simplicity instead of going in depth on any given topic. Duolingo's biggest strength is it's price (FREE) and the community they've built for language learners. It's easy to stay consistent and motivated when using Duolingo. Their biggest weakness is an over-simplified structure that emphasizes quantity over quality. But then again, there really isn't any other app on the market that you can solely rely on to learn a language. Not that I know of, anyways. Cheers! 加油!
