Learn Korean with your fingertips, not your eyes

Instead of reading words, LingoType has you build each one keystroke by keystroke. Words, icons, fonts and your progress all ship inside the app, so it works with no internet connection and needs no account.

Frequently asked questions

I hear no sound when a word is spoken

First check the silent switch on the side of your device. If it is still silent, open Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → Korean and check that a Korean voice is installed. On a device with no Korean voice the speaker button cannot produce sound.

I cannot type Hangul

The app uses the iOS Korean keyboard as-is. Add it under Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard and choose Korean (2-set). If your keyboard is on another language, the app shows a hint banner on screen.

My progress disappeared

Progress is stored on your device, not on a server. Deleting the app deletes the progress with it, and it cannot be recovered. Transferring progress to a new device is not yet supported.

Are the leaderboard entries real users?

No. The leaderboard in this version is a sample board bundled with the app, and the screen labels it as such. A real global leaderboard is in preparation.

I sent feedback but got no reply

In this version, feedback written inside the app is not sent to a server. For anything that needs a reply, please email the address above.
