Such a useful app for learning and practicing Korean! It has really neat features like a dictionary for words, word of the day, and etc. My favorite feature is the daily Korean conversation, where you listen to a random conversation, and translate it back to English to see what it means, it really trains your ear, it's so helpful! If you need an app to practice your Korean, I think you should download this and give it a try. Thank you to the creators, all the way from the United States (^v^)♥︎
Really intuitive and easy to customize the shortcuts and where the English-Korean dictionary is the first thing that's on my homepage when I open the app. Love the interface for the dictionary & flashcards. I also get to learn new vocab on "word/phrase of the day" and Korean cuisine. I really appreciate that there are videos to aid me in my learning progress.
*unable to Log In and more* I registered to Naver dictionary to use its services like Word Book. But, I could not log in. It always says there is network issue. I have never faced any network related issue while using Naver dictionary. So, why it happens when I try to log in? Also, in the 'word of the day' like box, some of the letters are not visible. It shows first one or two, but not the remaining. I do not know whether it is a feature or a flaw of the application. But, I dislike it.
Sometimes 'Unable to connect to network. Please check your network connection and try again' message still appears on the Papago page. But it doesn't seem as buggy as it used to be. Still one of the best (most accurate Korean translators). What's been removed was the really handy feature of having example sentences with the word you look up below. Please re-add this and it would be 4 stars.
current status: getting overly emotional because of the color change. In all seriousness though, this app is incredible if you are trying to learn Korean. Not only is it easily the best Korean dictionary you can find online, but it also provides you with many more useful functions such as the Papago translator (although there is also a separate app), vocabulary lists for TOPIK and so on. There are some bugs but those can be easily forgiven considering the usefulness of this app
Used to be the most reliable Korean dictionary, after the latest update its absolutely useless. No matter what I do it still works as an English dictionary (as if we don't have enough English dictionaries!). The website works just fine, but an app is horrible after the update. It gives you an option to use the old version though, at least thanks for that
The app is slow as ever, but that is not the problem, still the best Korean dictionary there is. Why have you changed the suggestion seach engine? Now it offers some completely irrelevant phrases and expressions and I just want a core and derivated words so I dont have to waste time and actually press search every time! Please put it back to older version! (If so I will increase my rating)
With recent updates this app has gotten significantly worse for native English speakers looking to learn Korean. It now opens up into an English only dictionary and it takes 4 clicks and is extremely unintuitive to navigate to the Korean English dictionary. you now have to click on the menu, click on bilingual dictionaries, then English Korean dictionary (still not the one we want though), and once you get to that there is a little button to click on the Korean English dictionary. Why????
I've been using this dictionary for more than 2 years now with no problem but these days (august 2021) it's so difficult to even opening it. It will show only texts with no design and it wont load at all. Tried to close and open gain and still the same. Out of 15 times using this app in a day (more or less), only 2 or 3 times it opened normally.
" invalid certificate. Please check the date and time setting on your device...." no matter what method I try to log in, it's always the same. Is this app not supported in India? Initially, I tried to sign up but failed. So I tried to download this in another phone and log in using Fb. But Play Store wouldn't allow this app to be downloaded on the 2nd phone, though every other naver app can be downloaded on all the devices. Why is this app available on selected devices? Why can I never log in?
If you're serious about learning Korean, this is the one app you absolutely need installed on your phone. The app isn't perfect (like the loading time is a little slow) but it's by far the most informative one and has plenty of in built-in learning tools to keep you engaged with the language on a daily basis
This app was amazing before changing to an English dictionary. I used it for my Korean studies but now, there's no option to use it as a Korean dict. It was way better as a korean dictionary and I think if the company wants to have an English dictionary, please give us an option to choose what we're learning. This was a really nice app, I'm disappointed:(
App is accurate and nice, with a lot of content and not just dictinary and translations. App isn't Buggy, decent one, but one problem, doesn't log in at all, tried logging in with Facebook, with naver, but it's always showing try later after 60 min and doesn't log in at all. This prevents me from using the wordbook, and I suppose that was the most awaited feature for me
So far it was all good, the best dictionary app ever. My fav function was the word book! But now I see some kind of glitch. There had been an update on word book function and sometimes it is the new version and sometimes it is the old one. The problem is that I thought I saved it, but if the vocabulary was saved in old ver, it doesnt show on the new version, which is very confusing. I like the new one and I get it why Naver kept the old version(because they are not convertible 100%).
Excellent features for learners of Korean language with drama lessons and guide to fluency and pronunciation too! However, there's no full dictionary download for offline use and those without internet connection or slow connection, it is a pain to use. I travel extensively and most times I am in the remote and would like to utilise the dictionary for my own practice but it's impossible. I hope Naver would consider allowing the dictionaries to be downloaded and fully functional within the Naver app for people like us who have limited access. The drama lessons are so useful to hear the correct pronunciation and the way to say it in Korean. The audio phonetic guides are also great. I gave 4 stars because of no offline function for dictionary access the way Pleco for Chinese has. Pls incorporate the offline accessibility for Korean-English-Korean dictionaries!
Pretty good. Gives access to multiple Korean dictionaries (several bilingual, and one monolingual). Main target is Koreans wanting to understand English, but also fairly useful for English-speakers wanting to understand Korean. Can be difficult-to-impossible to track down a Korean word by entering prospective English translations.
It was a good app for learning/studying Korean. But then they updated it to whatever nonsense it is now and it defaults to an English dictionary. Why would we use Naver as and English dictionary when there are other better dictonary apps out there. If I wanted an English dictionary I would use a US/UK one. With how the app is now, it's tedious and confusing to navigate and even find the Korean dictionary, which was why I even downloaded this app in the first place.
I had this app to study Korean and now I'll have to switch to the 다음 dictionary. I have no idea why Naver changed to EN-EN when a large number of users needed and wanted to use it for EN-한/한-EN. Even if I uninstall and reinstall and select 한 it still only allows me to use EN-EN which is really frustrating. Please change back. There are enough EN dictionaries.
The app is very good, but the problem is logging in. I m not able to login outside Korea. It says response time out always. Cross checked network connectivity too. It happens all the time even after reinstalling the new version too. I would greatly appreciate if the developers could fix this error. Login error occurs with Naver app too. Please please fix this.
I really like using it but I lost my password to the Line account set up with my email and can't access it. It won't let me change my password either. I don't know what to do.. I had so much trouble setting up the account in the first place.. it won't even let me make another account because it won't accept any username. I've tried countless times..
