Would Recommend if You’re a Knowledge Hungry Gryffin-Claw (Griffindor and Ravenclaw)
Honestly I’m sure any type of person would enjoy this app. Kids, teens, and adults alike (It lets you pick your level of vocabulary to improve your experience). And it actually (mostly) gives words that you (again mostly) don’t know. But I would say it’s a bit annoying that it continues to ask me to get premium. Which is dumb because it’s really not worth your money. Which is why it’s stupid that someone would keep these features from you. What is even the point of preventing people from having the best experience with this app and improving their lives (at least al little) when know one’s gon’ waist their money in it anyways. It’s POINTLESS!!! Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy this app as I have.

New to the app but it’s fantastic
Everything about it from the simplicity to my person favorite aspect, the widgets (really cool btw) makes this app an absolute 5-star in my opinion. Also, something that could add even more is a way to customize the time in between words on the widgets so they can stay longer to get a better grasp, but overall great work!

Bait and switch
Not free. 1 star
Not sure what word to use to describe this app
Great idea for an app. However, I believe the descriptions used for the words are not entirely accurate which reduces the need for me to use this app. So canceled my subscription.
Update: was contacted by the developer which was cool. I would also like to add that perhaps the team could look to do less words per day though with richer, super realistic, contextual dialog used to describe the word. For example people might like something along the lines of: “Today’s word of the day is X. You can use this word instead of Y to be more descriptive and concise. Here is an example dialog to help understand…”

Hi there! Sorry about that, we'll look into improving the examples for the words.
Too frequent
I love the words and the app is great. however, the notifications are too often and the words change far too frequently. I don’t know how many people learn a new word everyday and succeed at remembering it, but I am not one of them. It’s just unrealistic. Also, you have to watch a full 30 second ad video to unlock any of the these. So if you’re like me, where you see a theme and think it’s nice. Then later realize it’s not as nice and wish to switch... you’re stuck watching another ad, and then another. Not to mention there’s an ad on the Home Screen as well.

‘Free’ for three days, then must subscribe
Title says it all. Garbage. Deleted, reported.
Wow! Amazing App
I absolutely love everything Monkey Taps published. This app is immaculate! The words are interesting and geared towards challenging the user’s vocabulary. The themes are beautiful and there’s one for every aesthetic! Also, there are so many categories and making your own “mix” is really fun. Finally, the widget system is so helpful and really makes my home screen look a lot better! You can customize widgets by changing the theme, size, categories, and times changed in the widget. Amazing app, would highly recommend!

Great app
I’ve only had this for maybe a month. I don’t know how it works but they come up with the same few words in the widget icon which I love because it’s hard to remember the words so I love seeing the same words a few days later to refresh my memory. I love that it’s free and educates me. The only thing that I would suggest to improve is to add a function to practise memorising the word :)

Hi there! We always love to hear our customer's feedback, it helps us get better. Thank you for taking the time to tell us your experience.
Great app, one suggestion
I really enjoy this app, it has a lot of great words that I’ve never seen before and the definitions and examples are clear and helpful. That said, rather than having multiple reminders every day of different words, I would greatly appreciate (presumably other people too) if there was functionality where it reminded you of the same word various times throughout the day to really imprint it in your brain. I would much prefer learning one word really well per day versus getting lots of reminders on different words throughout the day. I find myself paying less attention to the app for this reason.

Goes Too Fast
Widget changes to a new word every time you open your phone and there’s no way to change it. I would like it to stay on one word for at least a few hours to get a chance to learn and use it before moving on to the next. I’m not able to learn anything this way, which is a shame because the widget would have been so helpful. If you’re able to fix this it would be awesome, I’d even like to start slow at one word a day.
