GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed.

If you’re learning with the book “Genki”, it is a good way to test your knowledge or to train vocab. What you see is what you get. It’s also helpful to hear what the words sound like if you’re going through the book without teacher. While it’s a bit expensive and not mandatory, it is a nice boost for self education if you have some money to spend.

Just like the title says, no sound. Not worth wasting your money on if you can’t hear the lessons.

This app should be free because it is early beta quality. Apple used to not allow such broken apps to be sold. Fix the audio and include spaced repetition. Get it together. What a joke.

Please fix the sound issue for IPhone 🥲 I would love to use the app

If I'm memorizing words and there's no sound when I click on a word, what's the point of buying this app? I don't recommend it at all. The business doesn't care and doesn't fix the bugs.

I bought this app despite the low review because I’m studying with GENKI books. I thought it would be a good edition. I tried to use it but there is no sound at all (everywhere else there is, and sound is “On” in the app. I tried to reinstall and then it doesn’t work at all. It’s a waist of money.

I had the same issue of the sound not working with the Genki vocabulary app until I read a review that said in order for the audio to work, your phone cannot be in Silent Mode. I turned off silent mode and the playback audio totally worked! Same for the Genki Kanji app as well. Just make sure silent mode is turned off.

After you mark a word as “known” you have no ability to review it as a flashcard. You can only browse to it from a long list of all words… meaning you can’t practice and you’ll forget older lessons… the app is also a big buggy. Should honestly be a free app included with the books. Do yourself a favor and get Anki instead of this.

This is app is good for what it does: a way for you to save time from making your own Anki or flash cards. Because honestly - if you made your own Anki, it’ll be the same vocab. This app at least saves you time from making the vocab that’s already on here. So if you save time studying or making an Anki deck without vocabs from here.

UPDATE: App no longer crashes when attempting to do Study or Check. Can no longer complete studies and checks as reaching the final card/word crashes the entire app.
