Missing the words in English
This app has potential but the words on the flash cards are in Korean only. There is too much going on in the pictures to know what word you are supposed to be learning. Am I learning a word for man or car? Who knows? The English word for the Korean word needs to be on the cards too.
Korean in a month
Since the update I can't even open the app! Please fix. But prior to the update it was useful although I found some errors in a few of the lessons. But otherwise it was a fun way to review my Korean.
Qué mal en todo respeto!
This concept sounds good, but the app fails on so many levels.
This app will not teach you the writing system, for one thing.
Also, it rushes you through a lesson too fast to really absorb any of the vocabulary long-term. The way it shows you a picture to be associated with a Korean word with no translation causes confusion (e.g. A picture of a man hugging a large tree goes with the word 큰 - so, does this new word mean "big," "tree," "hug," "wide," or what?). And the pictures are not of Korean things anyway: white people, and - of all things - polar bears! The whole "learn like a child" thing means there is no explanation for anything whatsoever; you really have to know a bit about Korean already to get it right with such an app. Especially when you tale into account that the app is filled with typos.

Punctuation and spelling errors
On the writing part there are some errors that are really annoying, for instance boy is 남자아이가, but I have to type 남아아이가 or else I get it wrong because of a typo in the app. Also in the writing part, sometimes you need commas, sometimes there is a question mark with a period after it, and then the spacing, can all make you get wrong answers, even when typed out correctly. I think the app is really good, but those problems have been really irritating while I try to figure out which incorrect grammar I need to get a right answer. If those problems are fixed I will definitely give it 5 stars.

Wow this is amazing- highly recommended for beginner
This is the best beginners Korean learning app I have found so far. The starts from beginner- knowing the korean alphabet before you begin would help just a heads up, but it is still really good- you will actually learn, I think, at the fastest pace that an app can offer. It teaches using a direct method. Thank you so much for the great price! Keep it real :-)

Learning technique is similar to The Rosetta Stone software.
Easy to use GUI menus, and limited lesson plan for this free version, but very good software.
Great app!
You made need a very basic understanding of hangeul and some Korean words to get the full benefits but this program really helped me make sentences and really learn the vocab! I love it :)
:/
This app is okay but doesnt tell you what the word is in english, so you are learning what a picture is, not what the words are. I deleted this app.
