Ratings and reviews

Dr. Moku is an app that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's the best app to learn Japanese and Korean. The app's unique use of mnemonics is damn effective in helping you remember new words and phrases, and the recap tests are a great way to reinforce what you've learned. I highly recommend Dr. Moku to anyone looking to take their language learning to the next level!

Great concept, poorly conceived. The app freezes and crashes regularly. And instead of learning a few characters and then taking a quiz to test your knowledge, you go through the entire alphabet of flashcards (in the same order every time) and take a quiz of random characters. It could be awesome with some minor tweaks. I purchased the physical cards. Hopefully. Those will work better for me.

This app is fantastic for making a connection between Hirigana characters and the english sounds. The quizzes are nicely laid out with multiple modes like reading, writing and sounding (I find the sounding part a bit hard to understand personally). I use the quick chart alot for just that...a quick chart! Nice addition. Contacted the developer suggesting a filter option for the quizzes and he got back to me right away with positive feedback. All in all I highly recommend this app!
