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.

Very good app
It would be helpful if the app had an example of the word used in a sentence. Otherwise, it’s pretty useful. I look at it everyday and try to use the word at least once in my day.
Love it!
I remember a very long, long time ago when I was in 7-8 grade, our two language arts teachers would make us study twelve new words out of the dictionary each week. We needed to know how to spell it and what its definition was by that Friday afternoon's written spelling test with just the definitions given to us verbally.
I remember some of these words because of these two teachers caring to advance our vocabulary! I love this app!
