Awesome

You should really get this app. It really helps!!!

What Do I Do? No Instructions

The trial version is just a bunch of flash cards with no instructions. There is no way to tell if purchasing it will be any better. In short: this app is ghastly. Don't waste your time.

Great flashcard set

This is a great set. However there are some options I wish it had. When you search a word, it can't be added to a study set.
The other option which I wish it had was the ability to create and save additional flashcards I've been to a study set.

If you can please add these two features I would gladly rate of five star.

Chinese numbers??

The numbers, or at least many of them, are Chinese and not Korean.

Solid

Very good app.

Still has mistakes in it.

For example it teaches you that:

조개 means selfish
Which is not correct.

조개 means shellfish.

So when arguing with my Korean wife I called her a clam for eating all the kimchi.

No official romanization

Haven downloaded it yet but to tell all thoughs ppl complaining romanization here is a little fact bout korean there is NO official romanization. Eg Chung Jeong and Jung are all one character 정 yun yoon 윤 and much more

The audio bugs me.

The audio is like a man that sounds like he's from the library and it's not pleasing at all.

I love it!!💜

Perfect sound quality, good form of studying skills, you should get more words not tht your app doesn't have enough words I just wanna learn more! 😃 good job!

Good start

Review of basic vocabulary. Can't make conversation and dialogue.

Quite Good

I think this app is quite useful however it would be even better if there was an option that would allow me to arrange the words (eg numbers) in order instead of having them shuffled up. Also, if possible, then a repetition quiz would e good e.g. If the way you pronounce the word is wrong then the quiz won't proceed to the next question.

The free version doesn't work. No sound n you just get the alphabet. I'm erasing it now

Waste of my time.

Pretty good :)

Great app. Awesome native speaker pronunciation. Ome thing that's bothering me is the romanization. It's not consistent in what they explain each letter's sound is e.g when they say 여섯, a way of romanizing is yeo-seot. Because 'ㅓ' is the 'eo' and the extra line on ㅕ is the 'y' to make it 'yeo'. When they write the romanizing, they do 'yeosut' which I think is to perfect the pronunciation of Korean, not both pronunciation and recognizing the words. Tis occurs with numerous words, which is annoying if you're like me and have learnt the letters and romanizing system already. Overall a good app for learning Korean words NOT sentences. The voices can get a little annoying if you use the audio feature, but not intolerable.

Amazing

I think it's Gud but more words I wanted to learn hi and bye greetings at lease and conversation maybe if they do that more people will bye it

Great App

137 basic words to practice... FREE! Good stuff!

I did'nt download it but it says I did..,fix this bug please.

I really did not download this as I cannot find it anywhere in my device. Everytime I look here though it says INSTALLED in the once FREE button.

Misspellings...

It seems when romanizing the colors they misspelled the ㅐcharacter as "a" when it is officially romanized as "ae". This can cause confusion for people not familiar with korean hangul or romanization since you hear an "eh" sound and see an "a". I do not know how many other mistakes there are like this, so if you're are going to use this app, you might want to learn Hangul first, to prevent confusion created by misspelled romanizations.
Otherwise, this is one of the more useful vocabulary building apps out there. The flashcard construction and quizzes are very nice.
