### 2/5 — 어플은 유용한데 사운드기능이 엉망이에요

*2021-10-12, version 2.6*

다운받아서 사용해봤는데 소리가 메인화면에서는 잘나오고 단어 학습 한때는 너무 작게 나왔다가 크게 나왔다가 하네요 
단어 학습서에 잘 안들려요 
단어소리가 잘 들렸으면 좋겠어요

### 3/5 — Nice App but..

*2021-09-30, version 2.6*

Been using this app for a little bit. The pronunciation game is great!
The writing part could be way better. Maybe after you trace the letters, have a part where it makes you write it without seeing it. 

The one thing that gets on my nerves is the character screaming after you succeed and fail at things. I feel it should be able to be turned off.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2019-06-10, version 2.3.1*

This app is pretty cool. I have learned a lot of Korean from it and even bought the upgraded version.

*2019-01-20, version 2.3.1*

첫화면 들어가자마자 자동결제 뭔가요

### 3/5 — Too many adds

*2016-08-01, version 2.2.1*

It's difficult because there are so many adds. This app has potential though.

### 3/5 — DICTATION NOT WORKING

*2016-04-04*

I really like this app but for some reason the characters don't say the word for you anymore even when you click on the horn
