### 5/5 — Add spaced repetition feature

*2022-05-16, version 1.1.6*

Honestly it’s really good. It’s more convenient than me fighting for my life using Anki mobile or other flash card apps and not having pictures/audio. 

This app would be a real game changer if you added a spaced repetition feature and allow users to track their progress.

### 5/5 — Amazing app, one minor issue

*2022-04-18, version 1.1.6*

I really like this app! I love the simplicity of the interface and the low cost for unlocking everything. I like the quizzing and spelling portion after every set to test what you know. I also like the feature of hiding words I already know/learned.

There is one thing I wish I had more control over and that would be the review tab. I love the reviewing section, being able to do the quiz and flash cards bit is really fun and engaging. However, having all of these words being given with no control over how many words I can review is a bit taxing. Every time i review a new set of words it gets added to my review list and now I’m at the ability to review almost 100+ words. I personally struggle with long review lists and if I could just cut the amount of words I can review in one setting it would keep my focus more.

If you’re able in a future update, I would love if we had some sort of option to select a way to review a selection of cards in increments of 5 (such as choosing if in could learn 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 cards for reviewing) aside from that everything else with the app I love. I love being able to hear an actual native speaker say the words so I can repeat them back until I get it down. I’m so happy to have this app on ios. I know it’s been available for Android and I’ve been waiting for it to come here. I hope we’ll be able to get the other app soon as well! 

Thanks you for giving us Korean learners another medium in which to help better our language skills we seriously appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic for learning vocabulary!

*2022-03-21*

I’ve been self-studying Korean for the past year and a bit, mostly through another major language learning app that I personally find moves very quickly, doesn’t help with the basics, and doesn’t help me build my general vocabulary very well. This app provides exactly what I felt I was missing in my language learning by providing category based sets of basic vocabulary. I really enjoy the app’s method of quizzing, particularly the spelling feature at the end of the quiz. Overall, this app is very approachable, useful, and affordable. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — WOW great app at an awesome price!!!

*2022-02-27, version 1.1.6*

Honestly adore this app so much! I first stumbled across their Instagram page then saw they had an app which leads me here. I found it so useful that after studying only one category, I bought the premium version. The premium version only cost $2 (usd) for lifetime use, which is such an awesome price for all that you get (and believe me when I say it’s quite a bit of material)!! It’s very useful for learning new vocabulary combined with spelling/pronunciation of each new word. I enjoy that they test you in more than one way plus give you the option to turn testing off or on. I feel like someone put a lot of work into this program and is asking for such little in return so why not help them out and download this great, simple and educational app(: bet you too, will end up purchasing if you give it a shot!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-11-21, version 1.1.4*

This is a great supplement to learning Korean! In my studies I have a good grasp for grammar as I have a grammar book, but struggle with useful vocabulary. This app has a great interface. Recommend it to everyone!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2021-11-05, version 1.1.2*

I saw an account on Instagram that explained grammar very well and I saw that they had an app so I decided to check it out. I’m glad I did this app is awesome and plus the words aren’t said by ai. The creator recorded all the words so you know the real pronunciation! Very cool!:)
