### 1/5 — Задумка хорошая, но

*2026-08-13*

Не работает поиск слов, без этого приложение бесполезно

### 5/5 — Полезно

*2026-07-23*

Очень понятное и удобное приложение

### 5/5 — 좋은 앱입니다

*2026-06-18*

개명 후 새로운 이름 한자 쓰기가 어려워서 구입했습니다. 그런데 작은 글씨로 흐리게 되어 있는 한자는 쓰기 기능 업데이트 예정 없나요? 하필 제 이름 한자가 하나 없어서 아쉽습니다.

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요! 별점 5점의 좋은 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다.
작고 흐리게 표시된 한자는 아직 쓰기(획순) 기능이 지원되지 않는 글자입니다. 현재 대부분의 상용 한자와 어문회 급수 한자를 지원하고 있으나, 어문회 특급 및 특급II에 해당하는 고급 한자 중 일부가 아직 누락되어 있습니다. 향후 업데이트를 통해 계속 추가할 예정이지만, 적용되기까지는 다소 시간이 걸릴 수 있는 점 양해 부탁드립니다.
대신 앱 내의 '한자 쓰기 교본(PDF) 생성 기능'을 활용해 보시기를 적극 추천해 드립니다! 이 교본 생성기에는 3만 자 이상의 한자가 포함되어 있어 평생 접할 수 있는 거의 모든 한자(한·중·일 정자체 및 이체자 포함)를 지원합니다.
고객님의 성함을 입력해 맞춤형 쓰기 교본을 PDF로 생성하고 출력하여 연습하실 수 있으며, 전통적인 세로쓰기 형식도 지원합니다.
새 이름 한자 연습에 유용하게 활용하시길 바라며, 저희 앱을 이용해 주셔서 감사합니다!

### 5/5 — Удобное приложение

This really helps when I step away from my daily regiment of core studies.  It’s complete in terms of HSK Vocabulary.
and it has even more essentials.  As I said, I’m glad I bought it.  It’s a refreshing step away from my primary routine.

### 5/5 — 한국 한자 급수 추가 감사합니다!

*2026-01-22*

한자 공부 중인 학생인데 이전에 어플 리뷰에 한국 한자 급수를 연습할 수 있으면 좋을 것 같다고 남겼었는데, 업데이트가 되었네요! 감사합니다 :)

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰와 훌륭한 제안 정말 감사합니다!
제안해주신 의견을 적극 반영하여 이번 업데이트에 어문회 급수별 배정한자 4800여 자를 추가했습니다. 앱을 최신 버전으로 업데이트하시면 바로 연습해 보실 수 있습니다.
업데이트된 기능이 마음에 드신다면, 별점 5개로 응원해 주시면 정말 큰 힘이 될 것 같습니다! ^^
한국의 한자는 정말 아름답죠! 🇰🇷✨ 앞으로도 저희 앱이 한자 급수 시험 합격에 큰 도움이 되기를 바랍니다.
