Make sure mute phone / silent mode is off

GENKI is treated like a game and as such audio will be silent if it is off. Otherwise the app works fine.

Good like with nihongo

Enjoyable and useful

This app is a very useful accompaniment to the book and enjoyable to use. It would be good if there was a way to zoom in or if the Japanese at least could be made larger as I find the furigana too small to read.

Sound issues at first but

You have to switch your phone off of silent mode while using the app. It works perfectly if you do that

No Sound

No sounds. Completely useless

Great Flash cards

Great flash cards if you are using the GENKI text book. I haven’t had any issue with the sound muting that wasn’t resolved by flipping the silent switch back and forth.

Sound works when silent mode is off

It’s a great app overall. However, I couldn’t hear any sound unless I turned off silent mode on iPhone.

Ok App but need improving

It a ok app. Once you learnt the words it make reading the textbook dialogue a lot easier.

However the App is not optimised for newer iPhones displays (iPhone 10 or newer) and iPads displays.

It would be great if there was a option to change the font size. As I’m using a iPhone Mini and it bit too small.

Also if you press the sound when flipping through the cards too quickly it will crash between sets.

FYI a lot people say there is no sound. But it not true. There is only no sound if the iPhone is on silent. I think the same thing happening with the 3rd Edition App too, although I don’t own the app so I’m not sure.

Outdated & crashes

You’re better off making your own flash cards.

Pros: Lists vocab in alphabetical english and in Japanese.

there are example sentences on the backside of the cards.

Good for studying on the go.

Most cards have pictures.

You can hear the vocab and example sentences.

Cons
For $5 we should at least be getting an SRS system.

The vocab “tests” are under “check my deck.” And it’s hardly a test. More so shuffled flash cards.

The system is outdated and always crashes. They’ve just upgraded this app for Genki 3rd edition and they missed an opportunity to catch up to other apps and services like Quizlet, Wanikani, and Bunpro.

This app isn’t ready to help you memorize the vocab. It’s just here to make money.

I’m writing a second review, they fixed the app

great work! Works great! Thank you so much for listening and fixing it

New Update Broke App

Used to work well but new update stopped English words from showing at all.

Was working fine until the latest update

There’s a bug in the check feature where the text is white so you can’t see it since it’s on a white background. Please fix, thank you!!

Vocab isn’t complete

I knew I could get better apps to learn vocabulary for free, but I wanted to get this because I could follow along with my textbook. To my disappointment the vocabulary isn’t a complete selection of everything in the chapter! Such a waste

Ripoff

Sound does not work. Save your money and do not buy.

Horrifically overpriced

I got this and another genki app and completely regret it. I just found the interface really stubborn to navigate. There used to be a really good flashcard app and i thought this would be like that. For what they give you this is hardly worth the cost, especially if you already have the textbooks. I thought this would just be an easier way to study the genki vocab but its not. Very much regret this purchase.

Disappointed

The app has no sound.

Ok

But the thing is you thought I would BUY your book AND THEN, PAY for your MULTIPLE APPS??? Nah. No way. Idk why they wouldn’t all be in one app. This app could instantly beam the language into my skull and I still wouldn’t give five stars. Okay, maybe I would cuz that would be cool, but YALL STILL GOT ME MESSED UP.

Sound in inoperable

Unable to get support on a paying app
This is not acceptable
Would revise my review positively if problem is solved.
The app is a good flash card system. Sound is a must.

Sound not working

Would rate this 4 if it not for the sound stopped working in os 13. Good visuals in this.

No sound

Great app but no sound.

No sound

The volume doesn’t work, I can’t hear any of the words in the lessons. Not worth paying for.
