ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Korean holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean has 3.4K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Korean's written reviews are positive against 93% of Learn Korean with Flash cards!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Korean ships an update every 3 months, Learn Korean with Flash cards! monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
