Very helpful app
I really love this app so much because it has become an ongoing thing with my English teachers at school to compliment my change of attitude with this app I would 100% recommend it for people wanting to expand their vocabulary and writing.
Misleading
It's not mentioned anywhere, but you have to pay for this app to use it. It only states "in-app purchases" in the description. They should just be upfront and tell you it's a subscription-based app before wasting everyone's time to download and fill out the mandatory quiz. Boo!

Had to cancel my subscription
Not seen any other reviews on this, so might just be me, but the speak button to hear the word, plays the entire name of the speech setting and then the word, if that makes sense !
When you go into settings to select your voice, it plays everything you here from there plus the word.
Plus there seems to be no difference in voices.
Not sure how to just limit the amount of new words per day, if that is even a function.
Would like it to be as I wouldnβt be able to learn 20 different words each day.

Vocabulary
Keeps getting stuck on the same word.
Preview shows different words, but when I click on it, it doesnβt appear - only the words donβt change on the full screen! This time it is stuck on βphilistineβ.

Donβt bother unless you want to pay for another subscription
Free for 3 days then you have to pay. Donβt bother downloading unless you would like to pay for another subscription.

Misleading time waste
I hate apps that make you go through 100 prompts and waste 10 minutes of your life only to get to the final step and tell you to pay. Like say that from
The beginning this actually annoyed me to the core it made me pick my theme and my fonts and made me do a test to establish my level of competency and alllll that just to tell me to subscribe! Shame on you!!!

Word!
Since signing onto this, the WORD of the moment comes often within a specific time period, so as to have immediate value and meaning, with the WORD of the moment appearing more times than not, to hold relevance beyond the described nature of the WORD itself. How do you gather the meaning of a WORD is your meaning derived from many sources or a single source thank you Trevor D

unable to add as a widget
widget donβt work bruhhh
Displays Same Words Despite Disliking
I was ecstatic to find this app but disappointed to find a lack luster experience. The app displays the same words constantly. I could not get it to not show words that I am already familiar with or donβt care to learn. It was not easy nor intuitive to find the dislike button (which is hidden in the share menuβ¦ I have no clue why one would think that would be a logical place for it). Then when I finally found it after reading reviews here that rated the app poorly for the same reasonsβ¦ I was even more disappointed to find out when you use the dislike button it actually does nothing too. So the same word repetitively shows up on my widget even tho I have disliked it.
Doesnβt seem to be a hard thing to fix. And quite frankly is such a core use case to solve for (people being able to dislike or remove words they already know or donβt find useful). So canβt in good conscience recommend this app to anyone despite its promise. Going to try to look in to other alternative apps. Itβs a shame because I did like the simplicity of this and the fact it had widgets you could use. But the inability to stop words from coming up over and over again is excruciatingly annoying.
