One Star for Predatory Charges
The reason I’m giving it one star is because they employ a predatory pricing technique that automatically signs you up for the one year charge after the trial instead of the month by month charge. This is only done to get more money from the user; instead of being user friendly and having the month by month be default, they make the much more expensive 20$ yearly plan be default. And that’s it, that’s all this app is a trap to get people charged that 20$ yearly fee without them realizing it isn’t the 3$ monthly fee. 20$ for a simple vocabulary app, shame on the developers.

Not a free app
The developer should state upfront that this is not a free app.
Widget Doesn't Appear
Update:
I can't restore my account. I bought the app before it had a subscription, and now I have 0 access to the app's premium features. That's messed up.
Initial Post:
I paid for this app some time ago, and the widget wasn't working at the time. Fastforward a few years and the widget still isn't working. Currently using iPhone 8, iOS 15.4. Doesn't appear in the list at all. I have tried reinstalling it, restarting my device. I have even contacted support to no avail the last time this happened a few years ago. I thoroughly enjoy the app, but all I wanted was the widget. Fix for a 5 star, thanks!

Download this app now. Better your life.
I believe that knowledge should be free.
I absolutely love this app! I love learning new things especially when they’re completely free and help me better myself as a person.
I do believe knowledge is power and being an entrepreneur myself I am very limited on where I spend my money. I absolutely love this app and appreciate the creators for giving other people the opportunity to better themselves and teach themselves. Thank you so much!
I highly recommend this app.

Don’t bother!
The free version is useless because you have no control of the categories or the words that pop up, and 95% of the words they throw at you are words that the majority of people don’t really use or need in there every day life. And believe me, I know it’s great to learn new words but I’m not going to use words that I could barely pronounce just to try and sound smart. There are many words that mean the exact same thing that we use every day. It’s done on purpose so that you will be forced to upgrade so you have more control. Sneaky and deceitful!

Way Beyond Expectations
This app makes it easy to learn new words. It has all sorts of additional helpful tools to do that, like a direct link to Google (though I do wish it was connected to Miriam-Webster because that dictionary offers comprehensive definition of the word, including its origins), so you can get a bigger definition. This is really important for me because I easily learn words if I know their origins. You can choose level of difficulty, which is perfect for me because I wanted advanced and other apps don’t have advanced. You can also add your own words. You can mark words as favorite so you can go over them again and again as a way to learn. The display is nice and clean — no clutter — so you can focus on the word. Anyway, I can go on and on about all I love about this app. This is what I’ve been looking for. I love learning words and this app has made me completely happy. Yes, happy.

Response from developer
Thank you for the review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you.
Great app, easy to use
It’s a fantastic app and I love how you can customise your experience. One suggestion if I may add - I have set up 5 new words a day from a mix of Noun, Verbs and Adjectives category. It would be great if I can get another customer feature where I can set my calendar for categories for example Mon for Nouns, Tue for Verbs, Wed for adjectives and I also get a reminder before I start getting the new words notification that ‘Today you will be learning Nouns’. That’s it. Thank you!

BEST APP!!!!!
This app has helped me incredibly in building on my vocabulary. I never knew an app like this existed out there, and I am so glad to have stumbled across it!! I’m already seeming more confident in speaking and writing! Everything I wanted and needed! Love it!!
Never write reviews, but had to write this one.
Props to the founder👏🏼
P.S : Please never put a charge on this app and the main features ever🥲

"free" for 3 days it's not free
It’s good
I like it, it does show me words that I don’t know and would like to use. I used to try and google definitions to find different words to help me expand my vocabulary but it always showed me ones I already knew.
The only thing I wish this app had, especially since there is a price to keep it. Is some type of exercises for the words. Just reading the words alone and the definitions won’t be enough for me to remember it. I’m saving words I’d like to remember but it’s hard when there’s so many. And honestly who knows when I will go into the ones I’ve saved and drill over them until I remember them.
