Still a great app in 2026
Does what it says on the tin!! Thanks for making it free!!
Slow
Es demasiado lenta para reaccionar. Hasta me hizo pensar que el teléfono no leía el táctil de la pantalla ya que presionó los audios y tarda todo en responder
Great app for studies etc BUT
There is a bug and now the app is frozen at the title screen. It hasn’t been updated in a while so I don’t know
Hassle-Free
I love how simple this app is. I was expecting to have to provide proof that I purchased the book, but you don’t. All of the audio is there for you. “Well, duh,” you may be thinking. “What would someone get out of contextless audio without the book?” If this were an American textbook company, they’d want an access code, my credit card number, my social security number, my driver’s license, my vehicle’s VIN, my employer’s tax ID; and they’d require I install some separate DRM software and only allow me to access the content for 53 and a half days. It’s a sad world when I’m shocked that an app simply opens and works, but I greatly appreciate it.

Progress bar missing
In the app, I can't see the progress bar to indicate how far I am into an audio file. If I try skipping back 3 seconds, it resets the audio file. Very annoying. Only happens on MacOS - it's fine on iPhone and iPad.
Great, but…
The audio quality is really great, pronunciations are clear, you can adjust speed and it doesn’t sound distorted. They did a great job there. However, when you add a single track/lesson to favorites, the entire book gets added. I’m hoping this is just a bug that will get fixed but if it’s intentional, it kind of defeats the purpose of having a favorites list unless you’re going to offer favorite books AND a separate favorite track list.

Good app
The audios work well!
Can’t find the audio
This app literally gives you instructions of where to download the audio when I can’t even find that option.
Loud beeps will drive you crazy
Good to have listening & shadowing practice with the Genki book but the loud beeps at every practice are do horrid & unnecessary. Be better to have them removed and soft low pitch.
Doesn’t recognize quartet book
It just gives an error when scanning the code.
It works and it’s free
I’m currently about halfway through the Genki Vol. 1 textbook (self-study) and so far I don’t have any real complaints about this app. I mean, it’s free and it works well enough. What more could you ask for?
App won’t let me download or veiw lessons for Genki volume 3
I recently purchased the third edition of Genki and it told me to install this app to listen to the audio for the lessons, however the app doesn’t let me download or veiw those lessons.
App froze on logo
App will not load, stuck on logo page
Help
Why can't I open it?
Great
Love this app and am using it for my Japanese class
Perfect! Audio for Genki 2nd edition
It’s so convenient that The Japan Times has provided this app to students to download the audio for the Genki textbook and workbook. My laptop does not have a CD rom, so thankfully they have made this app, makes perfect sense. The player is well designed, allowing me to speed up or slow down the audio, and repeat audio by section. I have bought the Flashcards app that accompanies the Genki books, also produced by the same company. Overall, the company is doing a nice job of supporting its students. Thank you to The Japan Times and their developers.

Glad to have.
It’s about time the book stated moving with the times and embraced the upcoming digital age.
Just waiting for the books to be available as either an online book or an interactive book.
I believe they are doing something with GENKI 3rd Edition as an online (GENKI Online) but this is not till later in the year sadly.
While I put the CD into mp3 I’m glad to see this app and decided to use it over my saved playlist I created.

Great Convenience!
I only have The second edition of the Genki textbooks and workbooks despite this resource being advertised in the back of the Third Edition. I got this wondering if they would have the audio for the Second Editions and was thrilled to see that they did! Not only that but they have the audio for numerous textbooks and workbooks that go up to N1 level! My family is having difficulty with computers at the moment so it was hard to just use the CDs whenever I felt like it. This application completely solved this problem! I am surprised that the only time I heard about it was for a brief second during a video reviewing the Third Edition of Genki One. I recommend anyone studying with Genki to use this great resource and even those who are not currently using Genki should definitively check to see if their study books are listed! To top it all off, it is completely free!
