Clearer past exam questions and more accurate word meanings.
You already know you want to pass TOPIK. The real question is how — without burning study time on words that won't move your score, or losing a week to reviews you didn't need.
TOPIK Note sorts 9,000+ Korean words by exact TOPIK level and schedules your reviews for you, so every minute goes to the words that count. Study what matters, when it matters.
The app remembers what you know and what you don't. SM-2 spaced repetition (8-stage intervals) tracks every answer and adjusts your schedule automatically. Hard words come back sooner. Words you've nailed space out further — so you're never drilling something you already own.
FOUR WAYS TO LEARN EACH WORD
• See the Korean word, pick the meaning
• See the meaning, pick the Korean word
• Fill in the missing word in a sentence
• Read a Korean sentence and choose what it means
Same word, four angles. By the time it sticks, you can use it in context — not just spot it on a flashcard. With 36,000+ quizzes, you won't run out.
HEAR EVERY WORD
Tap the speaker on any word or example sentence to hear how it's pronounced. Reading Korean is half the work — knowing how it sounds is the other half.
MADE BY KOREANS, REVIEWED BY KOREANS
Every definition and example is written and checked by native Koreans — no clumsy machine translations to unlearn later.
EVERY TOPIK LEVEL, ONE APP
• Beginner (Level 1–2) — foundational words
• Intermediate (Level 3–4) — everyday and compound words
• Advanced (Level 5–6) — academic and nuanced vocabulary
Pick your level. Switch anytime. The app adapts to your pace.
GRAMMAR BUILT ON WORDS YOU ALREADY KNOW
210 TOPIK grammar points — from beginner particles to advanced connectives (79 beginner, 94 intermediate, 37 advanced). Every example sentence is built from vocabulary you've already studied, so a grammar point arrives as a sentence you can actually say, not a rule to memorize.
• Fill-in-the-blank, conjugation, and meaning quizzes for every point
• Spot a grammar pattern inside any word's example sentence and tap straight through to its explanation
• Reviews are scheduled the same way as vocabulary — the grammar you keep missing comes back sooner
PRACTICE REAL TOPIK EXAMS
Vocabulary gets you ready. Past exams tell you if you're ready.
• 1,700+ real TOPIK I & II questions pulled from 21 past exam papers — 878 reading and 850 listening
• Listening questions play the original exam audio. Answer first, then read the full transcript to see exactly what you missed
• Submit your answer, then read an explanation that walks you through the correct choice — available in English, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
• "My answered questions" keeps everything you've tried, sorted by wrong and right, so you can drill your weak spots
• Exam stats: overall accuracy, separate TOPIK I and II progress, a 30-day trend, and a breakdown by question type
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
A stats dashboard that earns its space:
• Daily study streak
• Accuracy across each quiz type and TOPIK level
• Wrong Notes — every word you miss, collected automatically so you can target your weak spots
No vanity metrics. Just signals for where to focus next.
STUDY ON YOUR TERMS
Bookmark words you want to revisit. Set a daily reminder — even five minutes a day compounds over weeks.
YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR INTERFACE
App interface in English, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Word definitions in all of those plus Korean. The Korean stays Korean — only the explanations change.
You've decided to learn Korean. TOPIK Note makes sure your time goes to the right words, in the right order.

It’s one of the better apps that I’ve ever come across. It challenges me and forces me to stretch my limits. My only complaint is that, and this won’t impact everyone, is that the font is so tiny and the screen blocks the zoom function. I quit feeling eye strain more nights than not. If they ever increase font size or restore zoom functionality, I’ll add the fifth star. UPDATE: the developer quickly added support for text sizing. Amazing support for a fantastic app! 감사함니다!
Developer Response
Thank you for the thoughtful review! Great news — the next update adds a text size setting right in the app (4 levels), so you can make everything comfortably larger. Hope that earns the fifth star, and thank you for stretching your limits with us. Happy studying!

Editing: Thank you to the developers for listening! This app is do great and the changes have made it much easier to understand! The translations can be too complex at times: for example “It's not complicated, it's easy and simple. It's not hard, so you can do it in no time.” - I know based on the example it means quick but its a little hard to understand what the word means.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind words and the really helpful feedback! 🙏You're absolutely right — some of our translations were too wordy, which madethe actual meaning of the word harder to grasp. This is something we've beenactively improving: we just shipped a big update that rewrites thousands ofword definitions and example sentences to be clearer and to lead with theword's core meaning first.If you update to the latest version, you should see much more accurate andnatural translations. Thank you for using TOPIK Note and for helping us makeit better!— The TOPIK Note Team
A useful app for study
EricAlanZub
A very useful app- one small suggestion: the app sometimes asks you to guess a relatively simple word in the middle of a much more complex sentence which makes the meaning of the word difficult to infer. I would personally suggest keeping the sentences closer to the level of the word itself- if you are studying a topik 2 word, it doesn't really make sense to be presented with a topik 5 sentence.
Developer Response
Thank you for the thoughtful review! You're right — a sentence that's much harder than the word itself makes the meaning hard to guess. We'll keep working to match example sentences to each word's level. If you come across one that feels off, please send it to us via Settings → Send feedback so we can fix it directly.
you have to pay for definitions now

i downloaded this app like 2 weeks ago and in that time they’ve locked definitions and translations of words you don’t know behind a paywall. crazy for a language learning app focused on vocabulary.
Developer Response
Thank you for the honest feedback, and sorry for the frustration. To clarify what's free: every word in your daily study sessions shows its full definition, translation and example sentences, and that never locks. What is limited is the dictionary search tab — the free plan includes a handful of searches, and after that, looking up words outside your sessions becomes a Premium feature. That limit has been part of the app since launch, not a recent change, but we understand it can feel sudden when you hit it. Your note that this reads as "paying for definitions" is fair, and we'll look at making the search limit clearer up front. If you have more thoughts, Settings → Send feedback reaches us directly.
• Clearer past exam questions — 34 TOPIK II reading questions that ask about "the underlined part" now show the underline, and passages that were cut off are complete again. 83 TOPIK I questions no longer point to a "보기" (example) box that wasn't there, and in 3 sentence-insertion questions the sentence to insert now appears on its own after the passage.
• More accurate word meanings — 주변 (surroundings), 대상 (target), 산소 (oxygen) and 보수 (conservative) now show the meaning used on TOPIK. 연출 (directing) has two new meanings, and tapping 드세요 in examples now opens 드시다 (to eat, honorific). Five words that were listed twice now have a single entry each, and your study history carries over.
• Hanja and pronunciation fixes — 27 more words, such as 불가피 (不可避) and 고속도로 (高速道路), now show their Hanja, and native Korean words like 북 (drum) no longer show the wrong Hanja. Pronunciation audio is fixed for 43 words, such as 까다롭다.
• Faster start, less storage — After an install or update, the app gets ready faster and no longer leaves extra copies of its word database on your phone. Audio also loads more reliably on slow connections.
