ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

한글이야호2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sojunghangeul has 142 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Sojunghangeul's written reviews are positive against 30% of 한글이야호2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sojunghangeul ships an update every 2 weeks, 한글이야호2 every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
