Description
Learn elementary Japanese words at your own pace:
GENKI Vocab Cards is a digital vocabulary card app that enables users to learn approximately 1,200 words essential for beginners along with the native pronunciations at their own pace!

This is the official iPhone app from GENKI: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese, a best-selling series of Japanese learning materials boasting more than 1.2 million copies sold.

Advantages
◆Users can view the cards and listen to the recordings as they like, enabling them to study at their own pace.
◆By repeating a process of memorization and self-checking, learners can firmly master important beginning-level vocabulary.
◆Words already memorized are progressively removed from the card deck, so users can concentrate on just the words that challenge them, making for a more efficient approach to learning.

Study methods and functions
◇ “MyDeck” allows users to view the cards over and over, so they can take their time learning.
・The words can be studied by working from English to Japanese, or vice-versa.
・Learners can listen to natural pronunciations by native speakers of Japanese.
・Fun illustrations help users to better retain the words studied. 
・Each card also includes an example sentence with an English translation and a recording of its pronunciation.

◇ “Check” helps learners to track their mastery.
・Users check their understanding of the vocabulary studied and sort the words into those mastered and those not yet retained.
・Retention can be checked by going from English to Japanese, or vice-versa.
・The cards of words already mastered are taken out of the set, leaving behind just those that still need to be worked on.

◇ “List” displays a list of all words covered by the app so that users can see their progress and review the vocabulary.
・Checkmarks are automatically placed next to words that have been mastered.
・The word cards can be displayed from the list entries, enabling quick review.
・The list can be arranged in any of three orderings: lesson order, a-i-u-e-o order, and alphabetical order.

Make sure mute phone / silent mode is off

GENKI is treated like a game and as such audio will be silent if it is off. Otherwise the app works fine. Good like with nihongo

Sound issues at first but

You have to switch your phone off of silent mode while using the app. It works perfectly if you do that

Great Flash cards

Great flash cards if you are using the GENKI text book. I haven’t had any issue with the sound muting that wasn’t resolved by flipping the silent switch back and forth.

Sound works when silent mode is off

It’s a great app overall. However, I couldn’t hear any sound unless I turned off silent mode on iPhone.

Outdated & crashes

You’re better off making your own flash cards. Pros: Lists vocab in alphabetical english and in Japanese. there are example sentences on the backside of the cards. Good for studying on the go. Most cards have pictures. You can hear the vocab and example sentences. Cons For $5 we should at least be getting an SRS system. The vocab “tests” are under “check my deck.” And it’s hardly a test. More so shuffled flash cards. The system is outdated and always crashes. They’ve just upgraded this app for Genki 3rd edition and they missed an opportunity to catch up to other apps and services like Quizlet, Wanikani, and Bunpro. This app isn’t ready to help you memorize the vocab. It’s just here to make money.
