### 5/5 — good but

*2026-07-10*

I have some critiques about the flashcards. (for self-evaluation mode) When the prompt is audio and the answer is in korean, there's no option to play the korean audio. 
If i want to learn how a new word is pronounced, I have to go back to the lesson and scroll around to find it. It happens too when the prompt is in korean, there's no option to play the audio of it in korean. Also I'm not sure but I don't think it does spaced repetition? between sessions anyway. Also my stats seem to reset whenever I change the settings. Other than that the app is pretty nice, it's great that I can go to the last place I left off.

### 5/5 — Best Korean learning app

*2026-06-05*

By far the best app to use to learn Korean. I love everything about it from practicing and the reading they provide which explains everything you need to know about Korean in an understandable way. Much better than any app out there I can’t praise it enough

### 5/5 — Thorough and detailed

*2026-05-02*

First of all, I appreciate that the teacher doesn’t get the reader bogged down in grammatical concepts like “first person present subjunctive” and instead uses plain well-written English with plenty of examples. It’s very easy to follow and refreshing to read. I love all the vocabulary and the spoken audio and I will say that the sample sentences are the icing on the cake, because they put the vocabulary and lesson contents to precise use. It’s an absolute goldmine of information and well worth the price.

### 5/5 — I finally found the all-in-one app that will get me to Korean fluency.

*2026-03-28*

Best Korean learning app. As an English teacher learning to better help my Korean students, this is by far the most intuitive app for those who want a comprehensive all in one resource and companion to your learning. 

Most language learning apps have a gimmick or gamified structure which helps for motivation and consistency, but as you progress, I find those apps become less effective because the format sometimes outperforms meaningful language retention. 

Particularly, after learning basic grammar and vocabulary, the main challenge to speaking conversationally is being able to  creating strings of coherent sentences, so HTSK gives many examples to allow you to apply what you’ve learned WITH new vocabulary and it has all the QOL things you need for flash cards, super relevant stats, creating your own lists etc. 

It’s definitely better suited for those who mainly need a great resource with explanations, examples and non-nonsense drill tools. You can pair it really well with other apps with more emphasis on guided learning. 

Bravo!!! ✨✨✨

### 5/5 — Best Korean Teacher Ever

*2025-12-29, version 4.2*

This is the only app or form of learning I teach myself since high school. I love how they build this system for us to learn Korean

### 5/5 — Slow but worth it

*2025-11-14*

I’ve had this app for 2 months and have been loving it so far. I do an hour per day. It starts with 한글 and grammar which is detailed and accurate. It doesn’t have as many exercises as other apps but that’s ok because you still learn a lot. You don’t really start learning WORDS and how to have conversations until later lessons so I recommend complimenting this with an app like memrise or lingodeer. I love this app because it sets things clear and helps you learn how to read even if you don’t understand yet. Slow and steady wins the race. Spend a while on this and become a pro. It has real people writing everything and speaking in the audios you hear which is the best part!

### 5/5 — My favorite learning app

*2025-09-20*

Hands down my favorite learning app! Powerful functionality built into the app. Love the options for learning vocab. Different modes for quizzing oneself to learn/retain vocab. Great explanation of the nuances of the language. Still have many lessons to go but very excited to see the recent addition of hanja lessons. I wish apps for other languages were modeled on this one. Congratulations on creating this amazing app. I hope you can support it for a long time to come. I will be absolutely heartbroken if it ever disappears. 화이팅!

### 5/5 — Such good explanations

*2025-07-10*

The explanations are so good and easy to understand! In the beginning I thought it would be difficult since the words and alphabet are entirely different from the languages I know so far, but the app explains them really well and I had no trouble with it :).

### 5/5 — Literally the best app to learn Korean :)

*2025-04-13, version 4.0*

This apps four lessons covered my whole progress in Duolingo. I really recommend downloading it.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2025-01-25*

USE THIS APP!! I started learning Korean and I ran into a problem I think is quite common, finding a course or program to teach me Korean was overwhelming and expensive. Many of the courses I came across had massive prices and less structured lessons and more just vocabulary practice. Then I found Howtostudykorean and knew right away. This app has fantastic content with everything you need to know about all aspects of the Korean language-vocabulary sentence structure, grammar, pronunciation tips, writing, reading, EVERYTHING. What I love about this is that it’s all in one so instead of paying for 3 different apps and creating your own program, you can get all content on this app for very cheap in comparison to any competitor. If you’re overwhelmed or losing hope in learning Korean, get this.
