Underrated ~ Must Try!
I’ve been raving about this app, for all the languages it offers, for no less than 10 years. No one has heard of it which is a shame because I give it single hand credit for both my Korean and Spanish skills. The learning algorithm is groundbreaking and extremely effective, compared to any other language apps I’ve tried. While it doesn’t do much in the way of grammar, the vocabulary alone will ensure you can Frankenstein sentences together, read, and navigate the countries/languages of your choice. My only complaint is that they don’t offer this app in more languages! *wink wink* please create more! Your devoted fans await more Romance languages!

OMG 😃
I love this app!!! When I do Duolingo I sometimes feel ashamed of myself because they make faces. But this no. Sometimes you have to click on something 2 or 3 times and she stutters a little sometimes, but she is really calm and all
Useful listening flash card app
I paid for the app and found that I often come back to it to work on my vocabulary skills. I only wish that there was an option to exclude the romanization. As an English speaker my eyes naturally lock in on the romanized version of the word. This makes it difficult to focus on the Hangul.
Edit: June 2020
I have to be honest here. I recently became serious about my language study and found that this app is a solid home base. I use this app to replace a flash card system and access it EVERY day. You are able to look through the list of vocabulary words and add a new word to rotation by selecting “learn”. This is helpful when you already know a word but want to keep a current, active list of how many words that you will be using. This is super helpful to me because I study Korean using a combination of different media and apps.
I like that the app shows the number of words that you have learned and has different levels. In my experience the levels are appropriately assigned. The color levels assigned to the words that you know or don’t know also help with review.
The ability to use of the different methods of review helps to learn the words without using the romanization. When I switched to the mode where I hear the word only, my understanding of the language improved immensely. All in all I am more than satisfied with this app. I’m glad that I paid the fee to upgrade. ALSO, THERE IS ONLY A ONE TIME FEE!!!
I will be keeping this app as long as I am language learning.
Borrowed Words Note: the lowest level has many borrowed words. But this is NOT the case for the higher levels. I think the developers wanted to start new korean language learners off slowly.

Scribe Korean
An excellent App! Challenging, interactive, and marks your progress.
I wish it was also on Android😕

Somewhat useful, but don't trust the example sentences too much...
Full disclosure: I am working on an app for English-speaking learners of Korean, so I'm a direct competitor. That said, I am also a learner of Korean, and I thought the app might be useful to review some vocabulary.
The app has lots of different ways of quizzing the user on the content, which is good, but the example sentences are... of very random quality. Many of them are fine and helpful, but others are obviously broken, so don't put too much faith in them because not all of them are proper Korean. I'm not sure where they come from, but I'm pretty sure they weren't checked by a native speaker.
The definitions themselves are mostly decent compared to those found in many competing Korean-language-learning apps. There's definitely room for improvement though. The pronunciations sound alright to me so far, but be aware that only a fraction of the words have example sentences.
As of 2017-10-18, there is no support whatsoever for Apple's iPad Pro keyboard. The app allows you to add notes to vocabulary cards, but I had to type them on the glass because the app was completely unaware of the keyboard. (The keyboard works fine in other apps. It's not broken.)
As far as Korean flashcard apps go, this one isn't so bad. It has not been updated in (more than?) a year though. It could become a pretty decent app if it were polished a little and good example sentences were added to each and every entry. I have no clue whether the developer has any intention of doing that (or of ever updating the app). As it is, it's neither excellent nor awful. I'll probably get my money's worth out of it, but if you don't like paying for apps, you might want to test the app thoroughly before you pull the trigger (or not) on the in-app purchase. If anything, the vocabulary list gives you a good idea of the vocabulary you have to learn if you're serious about mastering the language. (It does not help much with grammar though.)

Just got the hang of it
This app is an excellent way to control your learning because you can use the settings to turn on and off words. So if you turn off all the words and just turn on 4 words at a time and keep repeating it, you will build long-term memory. I just wish there was an 'All Off' switch.
Please work on a more beautiful interface (like 'SplitMasters')

Nice Features, Free Intro App Annoying
I would like to have gone far enough into the list to experience the app at my level (which I didn't think was very high until this), but I grew way too tired of 99% borrowed words in the intro lesson. While I believe it's good to know borrowed words, there definitely could've (and should've) been at least a slightly more balanced mix of borrowed and native words. 안녕하다 seemed to be literally the only non-borrowed word, and if I wanted to experience the app with more words like that, I was told to pay the $8.99 fee to upgrade.
Maybe it's much better for very beginner Korean learners. The listening was nice and I appreciated the Diary/Learning/Due pages. If the intro were a bit better vocab-wise, I might be willing to pay the extra money. Might.

Very fun app!
I'm having a fun time with this app. It's very adaptable to a new learner of Korean. It engages different ways to learn a new language. I'm really liking it so far!
One of the best apps I've found for Korean
So most apps either have poor interfaces or incorrect/not thorough vocabulary. This app has a simple interface but it gets the task done (you can turn off Anime girl). It also has audio for all of the basic words. Best part is the learning feature which means you never have to worry about what words to go back and study for. It has an algorithm that shows you words you are forgetting. 1 time upgrade fee. Seriously, other language apps, take notes from these guys. They know what they are doing.

What a great tool
I attend Korean class on the weekend with my daughter. A class is great for grammar, but making time to study is hard and I was reaching a point where limited vocabulary was the major hang up. This app is perfect for refreshing and learning new vocabulary.

Great App for Building Vocabulary
I use this app almost every day. I like the various ways you can learn the words, from flash cards to matching with definitions. It is clear that the memory tools are intentional. You can also tailor the options to fit your personal learning style and speed. I am almost done with the beginner stage and cannot wait to see how I progress in the future. I highly recommend this app to other serious Korean learners. 검사입니다, developers!

really helpful
I'm currently trying to learn korean, because I'm moving to Seoul soon and this app is really helpful without being annoying. It doesn't feel like a chore you need to do. And it doesn't get boring yet either.
Even though this app is quiet pricey, it's worth the money in my opinion.
I will continue studying using this app. :)

Fantastic!
Love this app. Very flexible for learning vocabulary. It's designed to optimize retention and learning and it delivers. Lots of great game modes to challenge yourself with. Definitely my favourite vocabulary app.
So...so...so...GOOD!!!
This deserves to win the internet. By far the best application to learn languages. Yes, there are other flashcard apps. But, this one polishes the experience to an amazingly high shine.
If want to knock out the vocabulary, put your time into this app and never look back. At less than $10, this app is a steal.

Amazing
This app is amazing to learn korean, the only thing I would add is a web version so I can continue playing when I am home on my computer.
Great, polished, and diverse app.
I've been using this app for a few weeks now and it has helped me a lot. It has the spaced repetition flash cards, but if you get bored of that, there are other game modes such as matching or multiple choice. I've the "assistant" character changes clothes each day, which I found cool.
The only downside is that the full version is rather expensive, but I think the content, polish, and overall quality of the map make that money worthwhile if you're serious about learning the language.

Not helpful
I would like to have a good app that helps me to learn Korean by playing games. So I tried this app but it was a disappointment. The free version is just too shallow and couldn't really attract me to pay further. 90% of the new words are English words in Korean Hangul. You can just guess the word if you know how to read Hangul. Not useful. The game is rather boring too.

My first app purchase
I like the variety of ways to learn new words and test yourself, however it takes too long to get well-known words removed from the circulation when starting off... That makes it a little boring.
Amazing but....
Hi guys this is one of the only apps out there that has as many words as this does. I like the app but it's too hard for me to control the amount of new words that come out. I want to see more new words faster. Not wait and review and that sort of thing. Just make it easier for me to control how many new words I can practice with. I want all of them available now. I know this may not be ideal for learning in your opinion guys but I want the option of doing this. As a customer if I don't know how to do this and it's already an option then it's not simple enough. I've had this app a year and don't use it becuase it's too hard to control how fast the new words come out. I want all of them now.
