On the plus side, those are one-time payments; not subscriptions, which I can appreciate. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-07-12, version 1.4.22* Level three final consonants review all doesn’t work. It’s a shame because one and two were good. ### 3/5 — Okay *2026-05-09, version 1.4.16* There are like 11 different lessons in one level but you can only do 2 lessons per level without paying money. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-05-07, version 1.4.16* This is helping me very much also because I’m going to korea soon. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-05-06, version 1.4.16* It is a good language learning experience and it makes sure that your all caught up ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-04-16, version 1.4.16* Got the paid version and it’s immediately very glitchy! Lesson 3 won’t let me trace the characters ### 5/5 — Actually helpful *2026-04-13, version 1.4.16* I’m actually learning Hangul very quickly because of the repetition and how strict the writing pattern is. I am very okay with the price this was. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-04-11, version 1.4.16* The app makes sure that you understand what youre doing before moving on to another level ### 4/5 — Great *2026-03-30, version 1.4.16* Really useful love that you only have to pay one time to get all the lessons and it’s a reasonable price. My only complaint is I wish it was real recordings and not a Robo voice. I don’t know how much to trust the pronunciation. Some of the letters sound exactly the same and there’s no way to get 100% answers correct because there’s no way to know which ones they mean because it’s the exact same sounds. ### 5/5 — Clean, Fast, Hassle-Free *2026-03-29, version 1.4.16* Exactly what I needed—no account required, no ads, just works perfectly. Huge respect to the developer for keeping it simple and user-focused. ### 5/5 — Best App for Alphabet Learning *2026-03-19, version 1.4.16* The biggest fault I have with other language learning apps is that they don’t put enough focus on learning Hangul at the beginning of the Korean lessons. After discovering this app, I’ve found it’s made it easier to learn and understand the language. I spent a couple hours going through the various lessons on this app to learn the alphabet, and now I do daily reminders. I’ve gotten fairly comfortable with understanding the characters thanks to this app. ### 5/5 — Hangul for Learners *2026-02-21, version 1.4.13* This app helps learn the Korean alphabet as well as learning how to write it! ### 3/5 — Not sure *2026-02-09, version 1.4.13* I liked explanations and structure. Didn’t like the pronunciation - voices robotic and eerie and speed (could be slower or adjustable). There was a bug that made me jump from 1st lesson to 3rd for some reason. Would be great if there was some mode to practice my reading/pronunciation, maybe position pictures or short video from different angles. ### 2/5 — 시 and money *2026-02-08* It’s good for learning Hangul, but you can only learn, like 6 letters, and then, you have to pay to keep learning. That’s such a pity. I think it’d be better if you didn’t need to pay for learning the other letters. And it won’t let me write 시. I already know a few Hangul letters and syllables, but if I want to write 시 (si), it forces me to write the ㅅ different. I’ll delete it. Sorry. You could change that you need to pay for it and that you’re forced to write some letters in a special way, I’m sure, it could get 5 stars then! ^^ ### 5/5 — Lear *2026-02-07, version 1.4.13* As a person who wants to know Korean I luv it ### 3/5 — Play wrong voice for text display *2026-01-28, version 1.4.11* After finish writing, the voice play for next 2 word. ### 3/5 — characters *2026-01-19* We can't see all the characters in the Basic character area because it doesn't fit the screen... ### 2/5 — there’s cheaper versions that work better. *2026-01-16, version 1.4.10* it only lets you do two lessons. i think it’s a scam. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Steals credit card information? *2026-05-03, version 1.4.16* I immediately had an additional charge for the Apple App Store for a much larger amount than the premium in app purchase amount and received an alert from my bank about potential fraudulent charges after purchasing beyond the first lessons. The lessons themselves were useful but I have uninstalled the app due to privacy and financial concerns. ### 1/5 — This is deceiving *2026-03-08, version 1.4.16* The stroke get stuck. This is a waist of your money, although is only 2.99. They are taking your money do not purchase this. I followed the dots and it does not recognize the stroke, I spent minutes trying to get out of completing the stroke. I am going to dispute it ### 1/5 — Çok kötü *2025-12-20, version 1.4.10* Aşırı kötü 3 seviyeden sonra para istiyo o zaman direk oyunu paralı yapsalardı yani lütfen böyle dilenci oyunları yüklemeyin yararlıya basar mısınız ### 1/5 — Find something else *2025-12-15, version 1.4.10* The first two free lessons were the only ones that worked without a glitch ### 1/5 — Uygulama içi para alma *2025-11-14, version 1.4.10* Ben hiç Korece bilmediğim için bu uygulamayı yükledim fakat 3.seviyede para istedi hatta ödeme için önüme bişi attı bassam para gidecek o yüzden hiç memnun kalmadım tavsiye etmem ### 1/5 — Be careful with this app *2025-10-11, version 1.4.10* Purchased this app, it stoped working after used for only a few times. Wasted money. Be careful with it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-22, version 1.4.10* The first two lessons are free, and if u pay for more it stops working. Save your money. ### 1/5 — App a pagamento sotto mentite spoglie. *2025-09-07, version 1.4.10* L’app si può scaricare gratuitamente ma poi non si può effettivamente fare quasi nulla senza pagare - non sarà un costo proibitivo, ma tanto vale prendere carta e penna. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-28, version 1.4.10* You do like two lessons then you have to pay a bunch of money? ### 1/5 — Mad *2025-07-23, version 1.4.10* I need to pay to learn more seriously I’m not wasting money here 1 star ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-29, version 1.4.27* Learned Korean so fast! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-08-21, version 1.4.24* I recommend this this ### 5/5 — On commence et on ne peut plus s’arrêter *2026-08-03* On commence à 3,99€. Au Level 4 (Basic sentences) on continue avec plaisir à 14,99€ pour tout le reste des Levels, parce qu’on ne peut plus s’arrêter… d’apprendre 👩🏼‍🎓 Peut-être 3 « petits »points à modifier ou faire évoluer: 1 - Les textes explicatifs sont trop petits, sans possibilité de les agrandir et donc presque obligée de prendre une loupe pour les lire. 2 - Ces mêmes textes sont uniquement en anglais, pas de problème pour moi je parle anglais, mais pourquoi pas faire évoluer l’application avec les textes dans la langue maternelle de chacun. 3 - J’aurais aimé à côté du mot anglais le mot également écrit en coréen. Ce sont des souhaits personnels, bien sûr, cela ne m’empêchent pas d’utiliser un traducteur, une loupe ou peaufiner mon anglais mais j’aurais moins tendance à « prendre le chemin des écoliers » si ces points étaient améliorés… 😁 ### 5/5 — love this app!! *2026-07-10, version 1.4.22* ive been testing out Korean learning apps and none of them have been good. i used 3 different ones for months and 1 for 4 years (ahem, doulingo), and this one taught me more in one day then all the others. thank you for being made! 💜 ### 5/5 — Useful *2026-07-03, version 1.4.22* It’s easy and good for learning Korean ### 5/5 — tooo useful ! *2026-06-13, version 1.4.21* so many useful lessons and writinh directions are included w the hangul !! also super fun to do just when ur bored and have no wifi ### 5/5 — Really good learning app!! *2026-06-10, version 1.4.21* Just started using it and I already know how to pronounce and write it! Really good app, and no I’m NOT a bot but this is a must have app! ### 5/5 — Hangul Lernen! *2026-05-30* Es ist Gut wenn man Hangul Lernen möchte! ### 5/5 — Start here *2026-05-25, version 1.4.17* I'm learning some Korean for an upcoming trip.
