### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-11-17, version 3.21.1*

This app is amazing. I can’t believe it’s free. All other apps are charging like $30 for this service.

### 5/5 — Love this app for learning Arabic!

*2021-11-05, version 3.21.1*

I prefer this app for making arabic flash cards. The picture gallery and Arabic dictionary makes this really easy.

### 5/5 — Great app with Spreedsheet integration

*2021-09-08, version 3.21.1*

Ulangi is a great app with a wonderful UI and a solid system behind it, but the game changer for me is the Google Sheets integration, which solved my biggest pain point (mass entering vocab on a phone) as soon as I found it.

### 5/5 — exactly what i was looking for

*2021-08-29, version 3.21.1*

had a dictionary app and never remembered the words i was searching up. i love this.

### 5/5 — Wow, I am so happy this app exists

*2021-06-17, version 3.21.1*

I’d been collecting vocab words on a Google spreadsheet and the spreadsheet was growing quite large. Also, I was finding it hard to practice and quiz myself using the spreadsheet. This app integrates beautifully and simply with my existing Google Doc - and the interface and learning tools within it work beautifully. I now have easy access to custom flash cards on both my iPad and iPhone.

### 5/5 — Anki+

*2021-06-04, version 3.21.1*

I have had a great time using this app. I’ve used Anki on and off for 2 years while I’ve been learning Japanese. This app is simply nicer to use. The UI is better (that matters to me bigtime), the learning curve is MUCH less, and it feels more intuitive. I love Anki for its SRS algorithm, its extensibility, and ability to customize. And if you’re really in to doing all sorts of custom shenanigans to your cards, by all means use Anki. But if you’re like me, you’d like to be able to start creating cards, including the meaningful features (like use of a language dictionary, pronunciation guide, and the ability for multiple definitions/translations of a word or sentence), and start your phrase/sentence mining sometime within a week of downloading the app. With Anki, it feels like it takes FOREVER to set it up in any sort of meaningful way. And when I finally get a card template I’m happy with, I’m too exhausted to bother creating any cards. This app solves those problems, uses Anki’s guts and Algorithm, is OPEN SOURCE (as a software engineer, keeping that kind of transparency and community from the original Anki project is huge to me) and is easier on the eyes. I really really like this app. Especially because it is focused heavily on languages which is only use I have for SRS.

### 5/5 — Thanks for making this app.

*2021-05-26, version 3.21.1*

Very cool app

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2021-05-19, version 3.21.1*

Best of the best

### 5/5 — Key to my language learning

*2021-01-11, version 3.20.5*

This tool is a, miracle.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-01-03, version 3.20.5*

But need to add more features in language and plz support arabic

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-12-13, version 3.20.5*

The best app for the learning of new words I have ever seen.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-10-29, version 3.20.5*

Best dictionary/vocabulary trainer I’ve used.

### 5/5 — by and large it is great.

*2020-09-09, version 3.20.2*

Free, powerful, best backers, limitless, even science-aristocracy and bla bla bla. But it is not hands-on, if you need power, you have to put forward sacrifices. It is challenging to become familiar with the process. How implement google sheet, how to make a connection between google drive and ulangi, even how to read your cards. But after all these, you finally will become independent of all paid app.

### 5/5 — Perfect tool for language learning

*2020-07-30, version 3.14.1*

Love this app so far, any chances you can add Tagalog as well?

### 5/5 — So far pretty good

*2020-05-10, version 3.11.0*

I started using it a few days now and it’s great 
Thanks

### 3/5 — Hasn’t been updated in two years

*2023-07-15*

A great program but unfortunately error messages are now occurring probably because it is not compatible with the latest Apple iOS.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2021-09-03, version 3.21.1*

Good for DIYers who want to build their own decks. No access to Anki community decks and very limited stock deck. Seems odd to be sold as “Anki flash cards” when it doesn’t work with my existing Anki flash cards. 😐

### 4/5 — More tts

*2022-08-14, version 3.21.1*

I love this app, the interface is clean and sleek, so many learning options and a handful of languages to choose. A problem I find with this app personally is the limited text to speech for other languages not in the app like Thai. I wish there was a feature where you can choose the tts for a particular other language you’re learning.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2022-02-09, version 3.21.1*

I think the app is nearly perfect. I do wish, though, that the words had a verbalization button so I knew how to pronounce them and there was a search bar in my groupings of words so I didn’t have to scroll down to find the word “pannikin.

### 4/5 — easily fixable pronunciation issue

*2021-11-29, version 3.21.1*

I’m using this for japanese. There’s an option to enter the pronunciation of the word, but the app just sounds out the kanji in an arbitrary kind of way. 

For example, surgery is 手じゅつ and I have the pronunciation field filled out as しゅじゅつ (shujutsu). but whenever I review the word, the voice says てじゅつ (tejuutsu) because 手 (て, te) is kanji for hand. 

I already programmed the pronunciation in, so it shouldn’t have to guess the pronunciation. Hearing the wrong pronunciation over and over kinda ruins the whole feature. Please fix! 

Really great app otherwise so far!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-04-09, version 3.11.0*

Currently learning spanish
I just wish you could flip it so i can choose the english words from the spanish words. I think that would help the translation in my head go a bit quicker?

### 4/5 — Great but..

*2019-08-22, version 2.5.0*

I was wondering if you were going to implement an easier way to import new vocabulary cards. Like importing my anki decks into this app is quite a hassle, having to write it down on my phone by hand for over 7000+ cards and sentences. Please help me and thanks.

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. Ulangi can sync with Google Sheets. Please go to Sync with Google Sheets section inside the app. There are tutorials on how to install it. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us. 
Best,
Jimmy

### 5/5 — Best app for flashcards

*2023-02-04, version 3.21.1*

I love this app, it’s extremely helpful for learning new words. I’m learning Chinese and just by searching a word, I can always find a flashcard with audio, pronunciation and exact meaning. 

I wish there’s an option to “reset progress” when I’m trying to add something new that’s already in my deck.

### 5/5 — Friendly UI and great features!

*2022-10-22, version 3.21.1*

Great app! Like the practice of spaced repetition for learning, but hated the UI of anki. Ulangi’s dictionary and suggestions features when creating new cards really helps elevate the flashcard quality and also streamlines what can otherwise be a very tedious process to me. Absolutely recommend it for learning languages!!!

### 5/5 — Honestly quite impressed

*2022-09-11, version 3.21.1*

I am honestly quite impressed with this app. I’ve been looking for a SR flashcard app that will allow me to write my answers with my Apple pen and this works quite well.  The only drawback, which is an Apple thing and not the problem of the app, is that the writing works extremely well with the languages that Apple support in scribble: Spanish, French, etc.; but not for other languages like Norwegian.  But other than that, this is fantastic and it’s free!

### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful

*2022-08-13, version 3.21.1*

It’s super easy to enter definitions using the wiktionary, and the spaced repetition system paces your learning in a way that helps you retain what you learn. Being an auditory learner, I especially appreciate the sound recording that plays each time I answer a question, confirming the word in my mind.

### 5/5 — Very nice anki app

*2022-06-13, version 3.21.1*

I like that its easy to organize and add things via google sheets and sync with all your devices, and it’s free!

### 5/5 — All-in-one

*2022-04-09, version 3.21.1*

The app is more than awesome. I can find everything I need in one free package. I really enjoy learning German in Ulangi. Highly recommend it. 
Compared to an app like Anki, Ulangi has all the same capabilities and even more, for free. Don’t even hesitate to use this instead of spending much money on Anki. 
Thanks to the team behind this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing truly FREE app for learning anything new!

*2022-04-06, version 3.21.1*

This open source app is a powerhouse of learning right at your fingertips! It has so many awesome features for learning a new language, and it really is FREE. No in-app purchases and no annoying adds! It may not be the slickest looking spaced repetition app, but it simply works and works beautifully. Don’t waste your money on a clunky mobile attempts of desktop software like Anki. Try Ulangi instead! You literally have nothing to lose.

### 5/5 — Better Than Anki

*2022-04-01, version 3.21.1*

I got this app to learn Japanese because I wanted Anki, but couldn't afford it. I'm SO glad I went with this instead of just paying for Anki. The SR system is a great way to memorize things easier, and I like that it allows you 4 options to pick how well you know each thing. On top of that, since you choose what you're learning when you first make an account, the app seems tailored to whatever you're learning. With Japanese, for example, there are options to add kanji, readings, hirigana, katakana, etc. for terms. It also gives suggestions for these, as well as definitions, which makes making a deck of 250 terms go by way quicker than it would if you were doing it by hand. Plus, the app is free. Try it out, and if you don't like it for whatever reason, you lose nothing. But I really do recommend it, especially for (Japanese and Chinese esp.) language learners.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2022-01-21, version 3.21.1*

This app is really great! Thank you for making it free.

### 5/5 — Honestly excellent

*2022-01-17, version 3.21.1*

Incredible flashcard app, especially for languages. It has a dictionary in the app, and you can search the terms and just add it directly! User interface is beautiful and so easy to use, love all the SRS-related options, and I adore the writing portion. Such a good way to really test my memory! I really think this is going to help me go further in my language. And I love that it’s open source. Thank you so much for making this app! You saved me from having to try a dubious app or pay for the official Anki or even try to use quizlet, which I kind of hate. Thank you thank you thank you!
