### 5/5 — Excellent App!!

*2026-05-30*

When looking for an app as comprehensive as this, and as generous with their free version), I can only ask for a lifetime warranty LingoryPass option. I rate it 5/5 because I enjoy the ability to learn like I’m in school, test out where I don’t need, and engage an AI model when I come across Korean sentences I don’t understand. New here, looking to add this app to my Korean learning curation.

### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work

*2026-05-21*

I don’t usually rate apps but I really wanted to use this app so I am only rating this out of hope that they fix this issue. The sound is so buggy, whenever I play a word the first part is always so hard to hear and then the rest of it is fine. It also seems to automatically mess with my volume since I see the volume slider on my phone changing on its own any time I play sound. My headphones keep turning on and off noise cancelling on their own as if the volume source is changing. I tried the clearing app cache but that does not help. I don’t know why this is happening but I hope there is a fix and maybe one day I will reinstall.

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-01-09, version 1.2.75*

ad every button you press… jesus christ i uninstalled so fast!

### 1/5 — uses ai

*2025-12-18, version 1.2.75*

duolingo has been going downhill for a while so I thought I would give this a go. In creating my account, it said they use ai to recommend me stuff in speaking lessons? something like that. the second i saw "ai" i finished my profile because you have to to carry on, and immediately deleted my account. i want to learn Korean, not be targeted with ad bots that boil rivers.

### 4/5 — Loving it. Giving suggestions

*2025-12-11*

I love the app. They have a good balance of vocabulary and grammar. One thing is I wished there was a review vocabulary button where it would randomly make a quiz for vocab you already learned. I wanted to review vocab but they only have where you can manually select the vocab words to test. I would say the app is a little bit laggy but it works fine. I also wish the vocab we learned would automatically be counted as vocab instead of having to manually do the vocab and checkmark it to add it to the vocab section.

### 3/5 — Good content, extremely laggy

*2025-11-05, version 1.2.75*

The lag is awful, but the actual content is good.

### 4/5 — Great with a few Kinks

*2025-10-22*

This is a really good Korean learning app. If you’re trying to stop using Duolingo, this is a great replacement. Really clear audio examples and fun, interactive app. Has clear breakdowns of the language and how different words are used. Only problem is it REALLY is not designed for Bluetooth users. The delay in Bluetooth headphones means I often miss the beginnings of words that I need to spell. If you get this app, you gotta use wired headphones. Also sometimes the ads make the app crash. Otherwise my Korean has never been better!

### 5/5 — Fun way to learn vocabulary and grammar

*2025-10-20*

I love that I can access all the main lessons for free (and the ads aren’t that bad). I like the separate vocabulary section where I can learn words grouped by themes. I wish I could increase the font size more though.

### 2/5 — Needs support for iOS 26

*2025-10-20, version 1.2.73*

Love the app, just wish it worked for ios26 on apple

### 5/5 — uhmm…

*2025-09-28, version 1.2.73*

ok, not gonna lie, this app kinda sucks… i rated it five stars so u could see it but when i opened it and put my email n stuff i clicked on the lesson but its in ALL korean so idk if u gotta fo somewhere else but i think it is in all korean so i dont recommend using it…
