### 5/5 — Best Korea vocab app

*2026-07-05*

I needed this mix of harder words and basic words that still didn’t skew completely basic. I like the flash card like setup in the beginning of each unit along w pronunciation help. And the ability to save specific words is key.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

I'm really happy to hear that the mix of basic and more advanced vocabulary is helping your studies, and that you enjoy the flashcard-style learning, pronunciation support, and the ability to save words. Knowing that these features are useful makes all the time spent developing the app worthwhile.

As I'm developing and maintaining this app by myself, it's quite difficult to let more learners know about it. If you have friends who are preparing for the TOPIK exam or learning Korean, I would truly appreciate it if you could recommend the app to them. Your support helps me continue improving it.

Thank you again for your kind review. I hope the app continues to support your Korean learning journey, and I wish you all the best with your TOPIK studies!

### 5/5 — Good App, Needs Grouping

*2026-03-23*

I wish the section 1-5 actually represented the difficulty of the words, and more foundational words were represented in the beginning, while more abstract and specialized words were later.
But otherwise its great for learning words daily.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I really appreciate your feedback.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused by the current word grouping. I understand how having words ordered by difficulty would improve the learning experience, and I’ll look into whether it’s possible to group them in a more structured way.

Thanks again for your support!

### 5/5 — Nice app!

*2025-12-28*

I like this app and it’s very useful. One thing I’d like to see updated is a flash card feature to make it easier to review/memorize words within the app! Overall great resource 😊

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you so much for leaving a review.

I’m really, really happy to hear that the app I created is helping someone with their Korean studies, even if just a little.
I will continue working hard to make this Korean vocabulary app even more convenient and enjoyable for learning.

I will look into the possibility of adding a flashcard feature.

Since I develop and manage the app on my own, I face some difficulties with promoting it.
If you happen to know any friends who are studying TOPIK or learning Korean, I would be truly grateful if you could recommend this app to them. It would be a huge help in keeping the service running.

Thank you once again for taking the time to leave a review.
I hope you have a wonderful and happy day.
