Scribe Korean

I would like to have a good app that helps me to learn Korean by playing games. So I tried this app but it was a disappointment. The free version is just too shallow and couldn't really attract me to pay further. 90% of the new words are English words in Korean Hangul. You can just guess the word if you know how to read Hangul. Not useful. The game is rather boring too.

Not only do you not get pronunciations, the vocabulary is limited.

I have to buy the full version to listen to the pronounciation??? byeee

The characters are broken down and explained and then presented in a way to memorise them. I like how this app works!

I paid for the app and found that I often come back to it to work on my vocabulary skills. I only wish that there was an option to exclude the romanization. As an English speaker my eyes naturally lock in on the romanized version of the word. This makes it difficult to focus on the Hangul. Edit: June 2020 I have to be honest here. I recently became serious about my language study and found that this app is a solid home base. I use this app to replace a flash card system and access it EVERY day. You are able to look through the list of vocabulary words and add a new word to rotation by selecting “learn”. This is helpful when you already know a word but want to keep a current, active list of how many words that you will be using. This is super helpful to me because I study Korean using a combination of different media and apps. I like that the app shows the number of words that you have learned and has different levels. In my experience the levels are appropriately assigned. The color levels assigned to the words that you know or don’t know also help with review. The ability to use of the different methods of review helps to learn the words without using the romanization. When I switched to the mode where I hear the word only, my understanding of the language improved immensely. All in all I am more than satisfied with this app. I’m glad that I paid the fee to upgrade. ALSO, THERE IS ONLY A ONE TIME FEE!!! I will be keeping this app as long as I am language learning. Borrowed Words Note: the lowest level has many borrowed words. But this is NOT the case for the higher levels. I think the developers wanted to start new korean language learners off slowly.

An excellent App! Challenging, interactive, and marks your progress. I wish it was also on Android😕 ✨ ✨👍✨👍✨ ✨

This app is an excellent way to control your learning because you can use the settings to turn on and off words. So if you turn off all the words and just turn on 4 words at a time and keep repeating it, you will build long-term memory. I just wish there was an 'All Off' switch. Please work on a more beautiful interface (like 'SplitMasters') 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I would like to have gone far enough into the list to experience the app at my level (which I didn't think was very high until this), but I grew way too tired of 99% borrowed words in the intro lesson. While I believe it's good to know borrowed words, there definitely could've (and should've) been at least a slightly more balanced mix of borrowed and native words. 안녕하다 seemed to be literally the only non-borrowed word, and if I wanted to experience the app with more words like that, I was told to pay the $8.99 fee to upgrade. Maybe it's much better for very beginner Korean learners. The listening was nice and I appreciated the Diary/Learning/Due pages. If the intro were a bit better vocab-wise, I might be willing to pay the extra money. Might.

I'm having a fun time with this app. It's very adaptable to a new learner of Korean. It engages different ways to learn a new language. I'm really liking it so far!

So most apps either have poor interfaces or incorrect/not thorough vocabulary. This app has a simple interface but it gets the task done (you can turn off Anime girl). It also has audio for all of the basic words. Best part is the learning feature which means you never have to worry about what words to go back and study for. It has an algorithm that shows you words you are forgetting. 1 time upgrade fee. Seriously, other language apps, take notes from these guys. They know what they are doing.
