Scribe Korean

I think this is a good app to learn words. The audio is well understandable. Some of the words are questionably popular (how often does one use "asphalt"?), but most are useful. HOWEVER, what really bothers me is that there seems to be no way to turn off the romanization of the words. I would like to have the option to only see Hangul and English in any of the games.

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.

I attend Korean class on the weekend with my daughter. A class is great for grammar, but making time to study is hard and I was reaching a point where limited vocabulary was the major hang up. This app is perfect for refreshing and learning new vocabulary.

I use this app almost every day. I like the various ways you can learn the words, from flash cards to matching with definitions. It is clear that the memory tools are intentional. You can also tailor the options to fit your personal learning style and speed. I am almost done with the beginner stage and cannot wait to see how I progress in the future. I highly recommend this app to other serious Korean learners. 검사입니다, developers!

This deserves to win the internet. By far the best application to learn languages. Yes, there are other flashcard apps. But, this one polishes the experience to an amazingly high shine. If want to knock out the vocabulary, put your time into this app and never look back. At less than $10, this app is a steal.
