Update I followed the instructions of another review and the sound now works Close all apps flip your side mute button off then on restart phone flip your side mute button off then on again now the app should have sound The sound doesn t work Sadly I cannot figure out a way to contact the app for assistance I was excited to us this in pairing with the GENKI books             Sound issues tErGTTPEN

There are no instructions anywhere as to how this works You tap around but nothing happens Waste of money and I want a refund     No instructions tabs don t activate Mover 88

This makes it to where I don t have to carry around a bunch of notecards I can switch up if I m reading in English or Japanese which is great to help make sure you recognize the words both ways and you get to hear the pronunciations I have the vocab and the conjugation apps and I love them both                     Fantastic redpandaa

Love the app but after today s update I can no longer hear the pronunciation of the vocabulary Please fix     Today s Update Jcboyd1972

So I followed these steps to fix it 1 Close all applications 2 Flick the mute switch on the left side of the iPhone off and on 3 Restart the iPhone 4 Flick the mute switch off and on 5 Open GENKI Vocab Cards This app has pros and cons PROS All the vocabulary of both GENKI I and GENKI II 2nd edition Divided in lessons corresponding to the chapters of the books The cards are illustrated with the illustrations from the book Each card has an audio button that sounds the pronunciation of the word phrase Easy to use user interface CONS There s no SRS and even the shuffle mode doesn t work This makes this app moderately good for learning each lessons vocab for the first time but not for long term reviewing             Initially the sound didn t play Beginning Japanese Student

It s nice having this to go along with the genki books and it s great having pronunciation on the cards too but the review system is worthless There s no randomization while reviewing and it also lacks a spaced repetition system Using the genki decks on Anki is much better although that app costs 4 times as much and doesn t have audio playback like this             Could Be A Lot Better Decado

The sound applications does not work on any of the apps which does not help me when I m trying to practice hearing it I really only bought the flash cards so I could practice hearing it because my CD that came with my book was ruined while being shipped Uninstalling it didn t make the sound work Really unsatisfied         Sound Genki日本

The book is by far one of the best Book for learning Japanese I ever bought And I have bought many And the app is Just as good as the book                     Best app EVER Jade joanaman

This has pretty good flashcards but it lacks a robust SRS system to help you remember anything I ve consequently switched over to using Genki decks on Anki instead             Good flashcards Worthless Review System Mr Yozhik

Should be able to customize your own deck with different words from each lesson Also it would ve been nice if they ve included all the vocab words from each chapter At least all the ones that are included in the book s audio             Almost great martin02mal

This is a very useful Japanese learning app I ve tried a lot but this is by far the best The example sentences also follow the grammar points pertains to the chapter Do it s like you are double staying without even trying It is worth the price Espevially since it includes all chapter for Genki 1 2                     Great app Lady~Ve !

This app isn t expensive but it offers too little features Yes I enjoy that it aligns with the Genki textbook but I can get the same vocabulary words from Quizlet Yes they have Genki sets and honestly a better interface for free It works offline too I love Quizlet s learn feature and little quizzes as well as the star system On this Genki app the features are not very user friendly and just basic Just get Quizlet     Not worth the price wq_s78

This app is perfect for studying vocabulary within sentences but I feel as though a simple in app game would be better to help learn just strictly the vocabulary                 Game please LKee95

Just downloaded this and appreciate it so far Fairly well designed aligned to Genki textbooks useful images and I especially like the sample sentences that accompany the vocab It always helps me to see exactly how a certain term is used and it reinforces recently learned grammar points too Overall I d recommend Two small annoyances for me that I hope the developers fix during the Check review the flashing Remember image is completely unnecessary and very distracting Please remove this Also when checking the correct answer it displays for just a second partly transparent and then disappears This answer should remain on screen until tapped again so users can read at their own pace especially if it s long includes kanji that needs more time to read                 Mostly useful rirvan

This is a good tool to use in addition to the textbook of course The format is very similar to flash cards and I really like the option of either only doing vocabulary from one chapter or cumulatively I would recommend getting this app and maybe the conjugations edition The kanji one didn t do much for me so I would skip on that                     Great app Ashley_Lin

This works well as a companion to the textbook It s worth the price                     Works well Robyne2080

Very frustrating to check myself because he answer disappears quickly Otherwise a very useful companion to the book             Answer disappears to quickly HazeFactor2

Very helpful but wish there were an alphabet scrollbar for the list like the kanji list You scroll forever to get to words farther down the alphabet                 Great jwjfjdj

For the price they could have added a Roma ji option and more quizzes and exercises There are some other apps for Japanese language learners like Anki and KanjiBox that you can make your own Genki vocabulary list with many options It would be okay if this app were not this much expensive but I think this Genki app does not worth for the price         Expensive for the Content culage

The app helps with memorizing the dictionary form only I would like there to be long form short form and te form conjugation to be able to see the way the words are used Also I would like to see a different form of test along with the current version Maybe a multiple choice of the differing forms and how they would be utilized         Okay cammangels

So much easier to memorize vocab                     My life is so much better YogiYuu

I m using a combo of textfugu Genki and Children s books to learn the Japanese language This app is extremely useful to those using the Genki text and well worth the cost I imagine it would be of limited to use if you re not using the text though Also I wish it included all the vocab for each chapter and so ill subtract a star for that                 Great Compliment to the Text Book gnome machine

My favorite textbook has iPhone apps Buy them all Thank you Japan Times                     Genki Tedn3

These 3 genki apps are great I use the genki and minna no nihongo apps to study and am getting great practice 1 I would like to see speech listening implementation cause that is incredibly important for learning the language 2 Where can we comment on incorrect words Most of the words seem fine but I noticed major is a different word from the genki textbook and all the words from the app follow the textbook precisely otherwise So note if another word is diff But correct Or double check words and spelling for the app Minor detail but a little dangerous for learning Still highly recommend                 Great apps Aer1ekah

Love having this as a review with the textbook Thanks for adding a shuffle                 Good supplement with text Littlebitzer

If you have to pay why doesn t this come with speech interaction The menu feels a little too creative The ages are good but the system doesn t have a user friendly interface Also where s the hiragana and katakana practice section Sadly I won t be recommending this to anyone Needs a lot of improvement as a paid flash card app         Lacking DrJonesyJones

This app is a great study tool when I m working alone It certainly beats carrying hundreds of flash cards everywhere 2 0 has some subtle interface improvements Edit Thanks for the new randomization feature                     Definitely Helping mkeyan

I got the app to help me memorize the words on the go It s good to just pop open the app and start practicing This app helps you not only by showing you pictures but uses the words in sentences to help you get a better understanding I ve learned a lot thanks to this                     This will help you a ton Ej-3000

I love the idea of being able to learn more vocab without having to carry around my genki book I am very disappointed that this app and their kanji app doesn t have a game or quiz section with multiply choice or something to see if you actually remember A bit expensive for something missing games and quizzes             Add quizzes please Yume1207

I really love that this app has recordings for the words as well as example sentences with recordings Seeing the word in context really helps you to remember it I took off one star just because it lacks iPad support it would be much easier to use this app on the iPad                 Great app cnel90

It s only optimized for iPhone along with the Kanji app As I have an iPad this can be pretty annoying because the iPhone app does not rotate or use up all of the screen space Furthermore when it is made big the app is a lot less clear         Not optimized for iPad GemiNi1739

I m taking my third quarter of Japanese and I used the Genki Vocab And Genki kanji apps to study I have an A in the class now and before I only had an B or C grade Thank you so much for creating this App I find that having the tools easily Accessable to use on the bus inspired me to study more Cheer Orock                     Very useful For learning Japanese OliverRock

Great app specially if you are using the Genki textbook to learn Japanese This is the basic level                     Awesome app ^o^ /

If you re learning Japanese with the Genki text this app purchase should be a no brainer Well written app that I find much more usable than Anki Still gives you the benefits of a SRS based approach but with more features that make it easier to review as well as well spoken sentence and mnemonic examples Enjoy this app along with the Kanji app Both work fine on the ipad                     Well done app Tommy2000

This is a great app to use with the genki lessons It s amazing for reviewing each chapter I was so sick of using flash cards I realized I had poor pronunciation on a few words too The audio examples helped clear that up for me The app runs really smoothly too                     Fantastic app Lucien

It s great because not only each term has picture and pronunciation it also comes with a sample sentence with audio Would be nice to be able to tap on words and have the corresponding card open                     Awesome sample sentences fusbarro

I purchased this with great excitement before reading that only IOS 7 is supported My bad so I rated it a neutral 3 stars At the time I didn t realize my 4th generation Ipod Touch couldn t and apparently won t ever run IOS 7 I am so very sad Please provide an update that will allow this to run on IOS 6             Would really appreciate support for IOS 6 KGSSMN

Nice as a supplement to the book and great for on the go as a commuter instead of whipping out a book on the bus                     Nice to have Cece678

First the person the rated down cause no iPad support is wrong It s optimized for iPhone but works on iPad just like it says It s just not scaled up for iPad yet That being said the program is great but missing 1 very key feature which is spaced repetition Sadly all the audio files sentences pictures and vocab in the world won t make this a useable app till they add spaced repetition Save yourself the Money for now and check back often for spaced repetition addition Tip to developers vocabulary apps are useless without spaced repetition option             Fine but missing spaced rep NoRefund17

Although the vendor says that the app is optimized for iPhone it clearly indicates that the app is compatible with iPad as well It is not     Not compatible with iPad as advertised sdttesfthfj

This app is great for students using Genki I used to input 50 vocabulary words per chapter to another flashcard application but with this app I save tons of time The app is visually appealing and I like how the vocabulary is divided into sections so I can devote my attention to a handful of words as opposed to the whole list However this app lacks a shuffle feature to rearrange the cards in the deck Random order eliminates expectations of words so you learn based solely on the translation and not because that one word was first in the list If it had a shuffle feature I would rate this app 5 stars                 Great but Needs Shuffle Mezca

Pro s Very nice layout good for studying the vocab of both books Can see what words you need to study still in one place Nice to have the same pictures as the drill card CD Nice to have an example sentence Cons can t check a word as known during the card view phase to quickly get it out of view No random word studying No shuffling the card order Needs someway to test conjugating at least the basic conjugations And a dream have it be timed somehow like Anki does it All in all I was excited to see Genki finally make an app hopefully they will continue and make one for grammar or listening But this is a really good start Definitely worth the price                     Good for vocab the guy who cant think of a ni
