Extensive & Intensive reading: Mostly on the Du Chinese app. I must say, I'm quite happy with the app so far, considering getting the subsciption. Does anyone here have long term experience how much material there is? Currently mostly doing their "advanced" level, which feels reasonably comfortable but is there much beyond that?
@文佰川: Thank you for the recommendation, I'll give it a try. The interface seems a bit more convoluted but I do like the content. It's a bit of a shame, though, that there are so few free articles. Not that I'm unwilling to spend a little money but there are so many ressources out there that one feels a little hesitant to immediately commit to a single one.
Ferran DiyaEven tho it's not as "unlimited" as other platforms, for me Du has the best quality recordings and now even has those "saga" stories.

I’ve been using Chairman’s Bao and I like it a lot. It’s like ChinesePod where content seems endless. Compared to Chairman’s Bao, Du seemed a little limited. I used it for a little bit and I wasn’t too crazy about it.
