I've really improved my vocabulary so quickly this way! It makes learning with flashcards a lot easier every day. I like that there is spaced repeition with the widget too!
Good app, annoying bug
BunnyandDoggy
This app is super helpful, especially the flash cards to go back and review the words you've learned! However, i've been having an issue for a few days and idk if it's on my end or a bug within the app. Everytime a learn a new word, the "Quick Review" section afterwards doesn't work. I can barely click the correct romanization, but I can never scroll down to click the meaning of the word without it glitching out. I attempt to scroll down, and it just bugs out and forces me to stay at the top of the section. Which was annoying at first, but now I can't even press the "submit" button because I can't scroll down to it. I hope this is eventually fixed, as it's quite an inconvenience to have to reload the app everytime I learn a new word. Otherwise I think it's great!
Forced Subscription
jjuwawa
The app concept is great; I love the chance to learn a new Korean word every hour. I always have schoolwork to do, and the option to have words on a lock-screen widget is so convenient. It makes learning Hangul so easy and quick. I currently have the app installed and have its widget on my lock screen; however, I can’t access the app itself. After the brief tutorial, it shoves a subscription in your face which wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but when you try to exit the subscription plan screen the “No thanks” button doesn’t work. I still have the app installed and I hope you, the developers can fix this bug. I’m really interested in this app. I just don’t want to spend money on a subscription.
Really good (but one problem)
achoo.ec
This app is really helpful at learning Hangul and vocabulary!!!But I’m having one problem. The speaker speaks too fast for me to really get the pronunciation correct, most of the time. I’ve tried setting the speaker to “Slow” and the speed to 75%, but it doesn’t change anything. If this one thing is fixed, that would make the app amazing!
