Super App—Missing a Few Features

Of all the vocabulary apps in the AppStore, this one is the best. However, there are some areas for improvement. First, while in the app, it’s not possible to select text for copying. For anyone who wants to easily investigate a word further, this is an essential feature. For example, it would be helpful to be able to select a word, copy it, and paste it in another app to explore etymology (using the share function after selection would also be nice.) Second, the existing share options need to be disabled. For those of us who do not use social media, it would be great to eliminate those share options (maybe add a “copy word” button here?)

Other than these issues, this app really is fantastic. The ability to create and customize widgets is a big win.

Unable to report a bug

This is a great app I was able to add my own words and have them appear on a widget on my home screen, i set to my own words only because they are ones i want to learn specifically, and it works, but doesn’t show the definition and just the word, i’ve put the definition into the app but it just won’t show on my widget or on the app in general, i tried to report the problem on the app but the reporting section of the app doesn’t even load ? fix this please i’ve had to try and find a new app that does the same thing.

Fun app with room for improvement

Overall, this is a fun app I enjoy using when wanting to learn new words. I especially appreciate the widget feature. However, there are three things that vex me: 1. The word “serendipity” is automatically added to my “want to learn” collection and despite my best effort trying to delete it, the word magically pops back up every single time; 2. For some words that have multiple pronunciations (e.g., adept), the phonetic notation listed and the voice pronunciation included are different; 3. Mispronunciation: e.g., nadir, the phonetic notation is correct, but the voice pronunciation is wrong.

I’m not sure if I want to continue my subscription when there are so many bugs.

Best on the market

I use this app daily since purchasing a year subscription, and I’ve grown to love it. I’ve learnt dozens of new words and I challenge myself to use them daily. The app is gorgeous and very easy to use, with lots of customisation options.

My only gripe is that other apps made by the developer are advertised in-app… If I pay for a subscription I don’t accept to see ANY ads.

Great app

Love everything. The UI, the modern, the mindset and bunch of enriched vocabularies. It just too perfect for me.
It would be great if you add common used terms and phrases feature.
Keep doing great things. Love the app.

Small sound

The sound of the vocabulary pronunciation is so small that I hardly hear anything even after adjusting the volume of my iphone to the maximum. Please fix this. Thank you!

Absolutely Amazing!

I love this app! Teaching me so many new words of higher vocabulary. You can put it on as a widget and just scroll away for hours learning new words! I 100% recommend and hope you get it!
I do wish they added a little text of how to pronounce the words though. The apps great but I think just adding that little detail would make it perfect. 100% recommend :)

Decent, but could be better

Starting off, I love this app. There’s not really any ads, but I am disappointed with almost all the themes being in a lockdown behind a paywall. -1 star for that, but I get they have to make money some shape or form. Also, sometimes they give out to much reminders. I once got 34 when I only requested 5. And this through 15:00-18:00. I had selected 15:50-17:35. -2 stars. It’s a great app, but don’t get it even if you want to learn new vocabulary. If you’re okay with ads and a paywall with decent features in a vocab app though, then this is probably for you. Know that this rating is kind of like 2 1/4. That’s it.
