Revolutionary Vocabulary Learning App!

Long time haven’t encountered such a brilliant application which really comes handy for memorizing & reviewing new words for learners ( saw the fast results among my own students) and really appreciate that UI designer(s) of this app who was so brave to create an impressive application with a crystal-clear-like & simple User Interface.
Thanks for your efforts

Suggestion for the “free” trial period:

I was disappointed that you are required to give your credit card for the “free” three day trial period. You won’t be charged the $19 annual fee for unlimited access if you cancel before the three day trial period ends. That’s gambling, no, yes? Yes.
Why not trust me to use it with unlimited access for three days for free then YOU, app developers, prompt me to continue with unlimited access by paying the annual fee? If the app is “so great” then certainly I’m going to decide to pony up on that fourth day after the “truly free” three day trial period ends.

Don’t block with ‘Go premium’ pop up window

The app works fine for few days after which it prompts to ‘go premium’ and does not allow to see any words until we go for it. This is so dumb. You cannot force ppl to use your app only when paid. I don’t need extra features and I am going with basic features which are more than enough for me. You blocking the screen with go premium pop up msg is so mean. 🙄😏 You are only forcing ppl to uninstall the app.

Nicely developed

I like the simple, easy to use format. There are numerous unique words in the app - each with an informative, yet simple definition. I also enjoy the random word notifications (except, I can never memorize the words on a tight schedule when I only glance at the notification once.) I honestly thought I would use this app often, but the majority of it is not free and the aspects of it that are free do not really teach about grammar and parts of speech (which I was hoping to get from this app.) Overall, it is a very nice app - probably the best vocabulary app I’ve ever had - but it could be even better if there were more free options and tools for memorizing.

Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We are always trying to improve.

Absolutely Amazing App

This app has completely grown my brain.I was falling back in my vocabulary grades and my parents started to notice,I didn’t want to fail them so I was looking at apps to improve my vocabulary because that’s were I needed the most improvement. I tried all sorts of apps but this is the only one that works for me ,I absolutely love the fact that I can study words that apply to my learning and the time that I receive them , not forgetting that I can also listen to the words because they are a little lengthy. My vocabulary grades went from the 70s to the 90s and I am so happy to make my family proud again .I would definitely recommend this app to anyone struggling in any area of school work. Thank you to the creators for making such a wonderful and helpful app.

Response from developer

We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

Love it

One thing I really like is that the vocab could be used for daily conversation. Some apps provides vocabs that are hard to use every day.

Great app BUT...

Really enjoying the app. The reminder notifications preview the word and definition so I rarely even need to open the app itself. It would be really helpful however to have the Word classes (e.g noun, adjective etc.) included or even a sentence with use of the word to provide context.

Well done. One suggestion...

This is a very nice app. Works as expected. One suggestion: if one wants to learn a word, it needs to be used, in a context, numerous times. Rather than get a few different new words each day, I’d like it to have an option to stick with one word throughout the reminders period, say three times throughout the day, rather than three different words each day.

Maybe there’s a way to do this but I couldn’t find it.

Well done

This is about as simple as an app can get. I know 80% of the words but rarely use them in conversation. It’s difficulty factor is perfect for most of us. It’s a good refresher. Occasionally I can pick up a new word or the definition of a word I know, but definition I don’t or an alternate definition.
In my case I choose to look at three words a day. It’s not overwhelming or bothersome so I keep using it.
I’d make one small change. I only look a the Notification. I would leave the definition off the Notification. If I need the definition I can open the app from the Notification. It would keep me honest.

If it's what you want

If it's what you want, it's good. I want something similar to what I had as a student in the 90's with unusual words we were unlikely to encounter or even use in conversation but sometimes knowing a word is enough to give context to an experience. Two come to mind because they've entered my lexicon to at least a small degree:
Flews- dog lips. I see them as the ones on the sides with uneven edges
Fire-fanged- overheating something in a microwave. I think we all agree it's different than overheating something any other way.

Devs, oh talented devs- anyone can make a word a day app. It takes a special kind of developer to release a truly unique Word of the Day App. You can be that developer.
