Settings broken

Edit: they responded to tell me they had a fix but since then no update and no further response to my emails :/

Clicking settings means you have to force kill the app… no possibility to disable romanization which is very distracting and harmful to proper study. I wouldn’t have paid for the 30 day access if I’d known this.

Response from developer

Hi, We are working hard to fix the issue you are facing as it is an isolated incident we haven't seen yet. Most users should be able to disable romanization in their app. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Do not get

Not free like advertised. Can’t even click off of the subscription payment plan. I tried closing and opening the app and I still can’t close it.

Do not download!

I downloaded the app, signed up for the 1 week free trial. I used it once and then forgot to cancel the trial. They billed my card. I sent multiple messages to apple and they did not issue a refund. I talked to the hourly hangul app and they didn’t respond nor wanted to help.

Response: I sent an e-mail to you forwarding the previous e-mail exchange. Apple rejected my refund request twice, that’s why I messaged you.

Hi, All payments, cancelations, and refunds are handled by Apple. We also have not received any messages from you to resolve this. Please email us at support@radish.software.

Great addition for studies

This app has been a great help to my current Korean studies. The only thing that does get difficult is typing back in Korean so you do need to make sure you have a keyboard for that or you will not make it past certain studies

Forced subscription

There is a button to say ‘no thanks’ but it doesn’t work. Really annoying.

How is this free?!

This is a great app to learn hangul to actually use in conversations. I can’t believe this is free!

Pay to use

Instead of making the app “free” just have a charge here instead of pushing for a monthly or yearly subscription, unless you want to pay then don’t waste 5 minutes downloading this app just to get disappointed 💔

no romanization at all please

i just got this app and have been enjoying it and love the widget aspect! however since i turned romanization off in settings, i would like to not have to select the answer for romanization during the quick review

Payment required

App is not as good as some of the other alternatives out there. The app quality does not justify the subscription cost

Subscription?

I haven’t even gotten a chance to use this app yet cause it won’t let me skip the subscription prompt. There’s a button that says ‘no thanks’ but it’s not letting me use it? What’s the point of it being there if I can’t use it?

I DONT WANT TO PAY TO LEARN

JUST LET ME LEARN KOREAN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

TOPIK Flashcards

I like how it has proper TOPIK curriculum and flashcard sets. I was also able to import my own flashcards to use with the widget and review system.

Subscription

Maybe mention somewhere that this app requires a subscription. Neither the app information page or the ad that brought me here mentioned that it cost money to use.

Forced subscription

Unusable without paying monthly or yearly

Forced subscription

I would appreciate this app more if a subscription wasn’t shoved in my face every 5 seconds. I can’t even use the app properly to even see if I would WANT to consider buying it in the first place. Way too money hungry.

Money

The app is good but it sucks i cant even use it without having to buy the subscription like i dont want it its forcing me to buy it if i wanna use it

Android

Please make available for android. I just switched phones😭

Good app, annoying bug

This app is super helpful, especially the flash cards to go back and review the words you've learned! However, i've been having an issue for a few days and idk if it's on my end or a bug within the app. Everytime a learn a new word, the "Quick Review" section afterwards doesn't work. I can barely click the correct romanization, but I can never scroll down to click the meaning of the word without it glitching out. I attempt to scroll down, and it just bugs out and forces me to stay at the top of the section. Which was annoying at first, but now I can't even press the "submit" button because I can't scroll down to it. I hope this is eventually fixed, as it's quite an inconvenience to have to reload the app everytime I learn a new word. Otherwise I think it's great!
