### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-08-24*

Although the voices could be better, it still deserves a 5/5 stars. I learn better with games and this game has helped my retain so much Korean (and Japanese) words. I would recommend this to anyone serious about learning the Korean language.

### 5/5 — 재미있는! This is a great way to practice Korean vocabulary

*2024-08-10*

South Korea is awesome. It is my favorite place on earth. I currently have a tutor that lives in Seoul. I also have several phone apps. My tutor teaches me a lot of the basic structure of the language. But one of the things that can be difficult is remembering all of the vocabulary. Imagine learning English and trying to learn all of the verbs. It’s difficult. This is a fun and rewarding app that lets you learn vocabulary, but helps you to remember it. Highly recommend it. Games are always a fun and interactive way to learn a language. It feels less like working just more fun.🤩

### 5/5 — The greatest, most fun app to learn Korean!!!

*2024-04-29, version 1.0.1*

Useful Korean and easy to understand. The UI is awesome, and also easy to use. It’s seriously the best app to learn Korean.

### 5/5 — More options?

*2024-03-05*

This game is really great and helps but I would like it better if there were some mini games for word matches of words you already know or just other things like that. Really fun though!

### 5/5 — BRILLIANT

*2023-08-26*

At first I didn't like it but that was on me. I got frustrated 'cos I couldn't read Hangul fast enough to keep up. After months of study, I'm back & I LOVE THIS. My reading is only improving!!!

### 1/5 — No Sound?

*2022-09-21*

i’m not sure if anyone else had this experience, but i started to play the game for the first time with headphones because of the place i was in. when i got home, and i started to play the game, i couldn’t hear anything. i uninstalled then reinstalled but still nothing. 

it’s an overall good game but it’s kind off useless for me to have it on my phone if i can’t hear a thing

### 5/5 — Great Vocabulary Learner

*2022-06-14, version 1.0.1*

I have been looking for a mobile game style Korean learning app to make learning the language more fun. Thank you for making this app. It’s very rewarding to play!

### 4/5 — Gahhh

*2021-08-06, version 1.0.1*

This would be perfect but the ENERGY

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-04-13, version 1.0.1*

This is a really nice game to help people learn new words in Korean! I would say that it mainly focuses on just words rather than grammar and such, but I definitely recommend it!
