### 4/5 — Learning new words!

*2024-08-29*

I love that the features like the random word generator and I really benefit from the multiple phrase examples using the word of the day.
That said, it’s kind of buggy. Looking at the calendar view, If I want to see a particular day’s word, I have to tap on the day before in order to see it. If I tap on yesterday’s date, I see today’s word, etc.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!

*2023-07-05*

This is great for sentence practice! Thank you Tran Hoa! Removing the romanization would be nice though. Thank you for creating and sharing your app!

### 4/5 — Fairly good so far but some bugs

*2022-11-08*

Overall a very well experience even with the other word of the day apps. Minor bugs here and there throughout the different apps such as having to restart the app to get the new word of the day, daily notifications not working sometimes, and app notification badges not showing at all. Audio works even with phone on silent mode, characters and sentences are well, so far so good. Main things are just the minor bugs as mentioned before

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!

*2022-05-15, version 1.3.9*

This is great for sentence practice!  Thank you Tran Hoa!   Removing the romanization would be nice though.  Thank you for creating and sharing your app!

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-09-06*

This app is pretty good if you are already familiar with the language. However, if not, you might want to double check that the words could be used as they are presented here, in a normal sentence. I would suggest HiNative for something like that. But, if you are just playing around with the language and just want it in your head, this can be useful to you as well. I like it so I can expand my horizon of various Korean nouns and words.

### 4/5 — Double notifications

*2021-05-19*

When I go to settings, I am only able to pick one time of day (10:00), but I get a notification at 10AM and 10PM. How do I change this to only send it at 10AM?

### 3/5 — I love the first minute of it

*2021-01-26*

In about 1 minutes of using the app it just crashes and that’s it.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2020-12-02*

I can’t study my Korean every day like I’d like to, so this app is so perfect for me. I can learn and practice one word each day on my way to work or during break. The ads are not obnoxious and are easy to click out of, but I did buy the no ads option. I don’t mind supporting in that way. I think it’s a win win :)

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2020-09-30*

I have been needing an app like this for years! I was trying to look up a new word in the Korean dictionary every day and it just wasn’t working. This app makes my Korean learning quick and easy. I also love that I can listen to the word and the practice sentences.

### 4/5 — yee

*2020-09-20*

i really like the app but i just wish i could make the app a widget and get notifications. nonetheless the app is superb.
