Norae is a feed of real Korean short videos: the vlogs, street interviews, food runs and drama recaps people actually watch, with captions that light up word by word as they're spoken. Tap any word you don't know. You get what it means in that sentence, not a dictionary dump. Save it, and it comes back later, attached to the clip you first heard it in. HOW IT WORKS • Korean and English captions running together, with each word lit the moment it is said • Tap a word for what it means in that line, its dictionary form, and how it is actually used • Words you keep come back as review cards that replay the clip you found them in • Roots: the words you save, grouped by the Chinese character they share, so 학교 brings 학생 and 과학 with it • 0.75x and 0.5x on any clip, for the lines that get away from you • A feed built from the level you pick, from your first day of Hangul onward MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY WATCH If you're already spending an hour a day scrolling, Norae puts that hour to work. Ten minutes gets you a handful of words that stick, because you met them somewhere real. No streak guilt. No sentences about a bear drinking milk. Videos play in the official YouTube player and belong to the creators who made them. Every clip links back to its channel. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Norae is available through an annual subscription with a free trial, and a monthly subscription without a trial. Apple charges nothing until the trial ends. After that the plan renews at the same price until you cancel it, which you can do any time in your Apple ID settings. Cancel at least 24 hours before a period ends and Apple will not bill you for the next one. Prices are shown in app and vary by region.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Norae at none against Polyspeech's shown. Norae also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Polyspeech's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
