### 2/5 — NOW 100 WORDS

*2010-05-24*

This is a decent App. Also they could replace some very simple words that I can't see how ALMOST EVERYONE mispronounces, as the name implies, as some are elementary words that are taught in grade school. There are not many of them, but I think MAYBE they were rushing to complete the App and they were running out of words. Otherwise,it is a good App with some good words, and the audible pronounciation is excellent, but I think they should add a feature that pronounces each syllable slower, as some of the words are short and fast that you can't make out how it is really pronounced, probably due to a computerized voice. Improvements improve ratings!
