## GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed. Description
Learn elementary Japanese words at your own pace!
GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed. is an app that enables users to learn more than 1,200 words essential for beginners.

This is the official iPhone app for the 3rd edition of GENKI: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese, a best-selling series of Japanese learning materials boasting more than 3.5 million copies sold worldwide.

Advantages
◆Users can view the words and listen to the recordings as they like, enabling them to study at their own pace.
◆By repeating a process of memorization and self-checking, learners can firmly master important beginning-level vocabulary.
◆Words already memorized are progressively removed from the study set, so users can concentrate on just the words that challenge them, making for a more efficient approach to learning.
*This app will not play audio if your device is in Silent mode (Vibrate mode). To hear the audio, please turn Silent mode off.

Study methods and functions
This app has three main modes: Study, Check, and List.

◇ "Study" allows users to view the words, their meanings, and the example sentences over and over, so they can take their time learning.
・Audio recordings of all words and example sentences are provided with natural pronunciations by native speakers of Japanese. 
・Fun illustrations help users to better retain the words studied. 
・Users can bookmark the words they like. The bookmarked words are compiled in the Bookmark list in "List."

◇ “Check” helps learners to track their mastery.
・Users check their understanding of the vocabulary studied and sort the words into those mastered and those not yet retained.
・The words already mastered are taken out of the study set, leaving behind just those that still need to be worked on.

◇ “List” displays a list of all words covered by the app so that users can see their progress and review the vocabulary.
・The list can be arranged in any of three orderings: lesson order, a-i-u-e-o order, and alphabetical order. The words bookmarked in the Study mode are also listed in the Bookmark list.
・Checkmarks are automatically placed next to words that have been mastered.
・The Study view of words can be displayed from the list entries, enabling quick review.


○This app is based on the vocabulary from the third edition of GENKI.
○Ads: The app does not display any ads that might interfere with learning.

## GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed. Reviews in United States

### *---- "No sound"
Just like the title says, no sound.  Not worth wasting your money on if you can’t hear the lessons.
-- Mai-ku, 2025-01-24

### **--- "Broken"
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.
-- hhsf butgjgcbjyfcbj, 2024-10-18

### **--- "Sound not working"
Please fix the sound issue for IPhone 🥲 I would love to use the app
-- dd oro, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Too many malicious bugs"
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.
-- lInkkkkky, 2024-10-08

### *---- "Badly made"
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.
-- zyxksyu, 2024-09-27

### ***-- "Sound Works - Take Out of Silent Mode"
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.
-- YKB10, 2024-08-02

### **--- "No ability to Review"
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.
-- IvanREOR, 2024-06-17

### ***** "Better than making your own Anki"
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.
-- SkylineVR30, 2024-05-02

### ****- "New Update Is Buggy (FIXED)"
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.
-- 日本語の学生🇯🇵, 2024-04-23

### *---- "Please fix the sound!!!!"
The sound doesn’t work at all
-- Happy sad!, 2024-04-18

### ***-- "Crashed"
I took a risk despite the low review average and bought this app. There’s no spaced repetition, and when I got past about six or seven cards the app just crashed. It worked the second time I launched it but I don’t like that we only either have sound on when cards appear or off. Why can’t we tap to play the sound? If we could do that we could repeat it and practice our pronunciation, and we could test ourselves by saying it before we hear the audio. 

I already own Anki and have a couple of N5 decks, plus my own custom deck. I still wanted to try the Genki app because I thought it would be good since it aligns with the book’s lessons, but everyone would probably be better off just finding Genki vocabulary decks for Anki.
-- 想太多王, 2024-04-16

### ***-- "I wish it’s better"
It’s a good study tool when textbook is not being around, but I would expect more as an app with additional cost.

1. Aggregated list of all the sentences given in this app for practice the vocabulary in listening.
2. Store the study process from the last session.
3. A better way to check, other than the self-answering on whether feeling confident about the vocabulary.
-- ninaz17, 2024-04-04

### **--- "Buggy"
App is currently bugged to where if you swipe down to see the example sentence, majority of the time it kicks back to the vocab word.
-- INukeDogs, 2024-03-25

### *---- "Not really an app"
Just a list of words with barely any functions. No real testing or learning ability. Try Quizlet or something else
-- Pak Halliday, 2024-03-20

### **--- "Buggy and in some cases incorrect"
Sometimes the sound doesn't work, which is annoying. Worse, I've seen some words where the pronunciation is completely wrong, which is terrible for a student trying to learn.
-- Lee17356, 2024-01-18

### ***** "Worth it"
This has increased my learning speed dramatically. I take an online class at college but use this app to memorize vocabulary before lessons. Now I can actually focus in class because I’m not lost and wasting time looking up words in the textbook. 

Also, it’s easy for me to know which words I struggle with and then I can practice those words more efficiently.
-- minature stoj, 2024-01-14

### ***** "Problems with sound"
Great app, should be 5 stars — but the sound function (crucial for me) only works sometimes. Sound cuts out, and restarting or redownloading app makes no difference. Then sound might reappear for awhile…then go away. If this bug was fixed — 5 stars !

UPDATE: the sound works, as long as you keep the phone’s “silent mode” button OFF. This is not intuitive, and should be made clear in the app…!!!
-- LeHonkeur, 2024-01-09

### *---- "Sounds broken"
Really wish I could use this app as a companion to the book, but it’s broken.
-- Reid bur, 2024-01-09

### *---- "The audio doesn’t work"
It could be a good and useful app if the audio worked. Please fix this!!
-- Working mom in NY, 2023-10-28

### ***-- "Barely usable"
I love the idea and content of the app, but unfortunately it is not well maintained. It’s broken in different ways on my iPhone and iPad.
-- danny.ism, 2023-10-26
