TTMIK Stories - Learn Korean 4+

I enjoy this app, I love the fact that the stories and articles are tailored for each level and the app is easy to navigate. I have been a ttmik subscriber for a while now and was very excited when I saw that they launched this reading app BUT was somewhat surprised to see the price for it! I mean, it’s not cheap (to put it nicely). I already pay a hefty price for the ttmik membership so this is not what I expected (I don’t have a problem to pay for the app, but the price is honestly waaay to high). Also there are other apps out there that are better in my opinion and that you can also use offline; so it was a bummer to see that ttmik stories doesn’t work offline-I travel a lot by plane and thought I could use the app during this time, but surprise surprise..Also the quiz mode needs some improvement. I understand this is still the early stages of this app, but if I am paying this amount of money for it, well I expect it to be way better. As for now, it is not worth the money.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoy the tailored stories and articles and find it easy to navigate our app. We truly value your feedback regarding the pricing and offline functionality.

We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the offline feature. We will continue to consider adding more useful features, and your feedback is valuable!

Regarding the quiz mode, we appreciate your feedback and will work on enhancing it to meet your expectations. We've improved the vocabulary quiz feature after getting constructive feedback, and you can check that out if you subscribe to it :)

Thank you for being a loyal TTMIK subscriber and for trying the new app. This is a separate service from the TTMIK Course Subscription, but we understand that getting both can add up a lot. However, if you consider getting a yearly subscription, using this app would cost less than a dollar per day. We recommend comparing pricing and getting the best out of it! 감사합니다.

In my opinion, the app is not yet thought through content, conception and UX wise. I love though that the texts are read by a human and a native Korean. Regarding the price point: the price point is very high compared to other highly developed and advanced apps. On top, the app hasn’t been working for two days now on my end. I‘m optimistic the app will improve over time and that I‘ll be updating my review. This kind of app is actually what is missing on the market.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your insights on the content, conception, and user experience of our app. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the audio tracks! We thought about how to create an app that would help our learners improve their Korean skills and we appreciate your positive feedback on the audio tracks!

Regarding the pricing and UX issues you've encountered, we understand your concerns. We continuously strive to provide value for our customers while ensuring a unique and amazing experience with the app. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the technical difficulties. If the app is not working, please delete the app and install it first. If the issue persists, please let us know! We will identify the issue and assist you as soon as possible. Thank you for studying Korean with us :) 감사합니다!

So, I really really love the App and in the three days of free trial I used it all day. It is so much fun and I love the stories. Also I think it is a very efficient way of learning. BUT I am already paying a lot of money for the membership at the TTMIK website, which is okay because there is a lot of content and buying the books would be much more expensive. So I get that. But then paying even more money for this app than for all the other courses at TTMIK is just ridiculous in my opinion. 200Euros a year or over 20 Euros a month ist just way to much for a student like me and also I don‘t get why I have to pay for another abo while I am already paying a lot for one. If the price would be fixed or if there would be ANY kind of free content in this App, like Duolingo which offers a free version and the opportunity to upgrade it to a subscription… that would be way more acceptable.

안녕하세요!

We understand your concern about the price, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. The app is a separate product from the TTMIK Course Subscription, and the app provides you with all stories and review quizzes that come along with the stories. it reflects the quality and value we strive to provide in our app. However, we always try to ensure our services are accessible to our customers, and we will keep this comment in mind. 감사합니다 :)
