How to buy it

  1. Open Learn Mandarin and go to Progress.
  2. Sign in, or create an account, in the Account section.
  3. Tap Unlock HSK 3–4 · $29. Payment is taken by Stripe on its own page, and we never see your card.
  4. Back in the app, HSK 3 and 4 open once Stripe has confirmed the payment. If they have not opened yet, tap Sync now in Progress. They stay open on every device you sign in on.

What it does not change

Cards you have already studied are never deleted, whether or not you buy. Your progress stays on your device, as it always has. The vocabulary data itself stays under the licence the credits page describes: what the unlock buys is the app's scheduling, checks and progress for HSK 3 and 4, not the words.

Refunds

If the unlock does not work for you, write to [email protected] within 14 days of buying it for a full refund. The Terms of Use set out the rest.
