Excellent but Flawed
I love this app very much because I learn at least one new word everyday; but it could use some updates. Firstly, the format for some words with larger sentences is really small, and you can’t even zoom in. Secondly, some pf the words in the intermediate category are what I don’t consider to be intermediate, but basic. Other than that it is all good. But I also don’t like how too many features— in my opinion, aren’t able to be utilized without a subscription. Thank you for reading. :)

Great design, insufficient levels!
This app’s idea of what constitutes an advanced vocabulary is… well, not very advanced. If you're a voracious reader with a college degree and a good memory, you won’t ever see a word you don’t already know— most words I’ve seen thus far are ones I actually *use,* not even just ones I simply know. I wanted this app because I love words, but that fact seems to have put me outside the bounds of the target audience. Would be excellent for those with lower reading levels or who are prepping for the SAT, I just wish they had an option beyond advanced, or even an option like “weird words” or “out of print” that have words no longer in common parlance.

Response from developer
Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. We’re always looking for ways to improve our app, so we really appreciate it. We’ll pass this along to our development team!
Great concept; bad update
Love the idea of the app but it has recently changed in an update (new interface and colours) and the definitions are very poor. They’re no longer dictionary sounding, but like an amateur has done it — like today’s:
air sac (n): a tiny sac
What’s a sac for people that don’t know??? Get whoever was doing it beforehand back or get someone better.

Excellent app, could be improved
I am absolutely enamored with this app. The design and feel of the app is executed excellently. However, I think a few things can be improved. All of the text to speech voices sound terrible and quite outdated compared to other modern text to speech voices. Additionally, I found the fullscreen ads to be disruptive and would much prefer having a higher frequency of ads in between words.

New update is GAME CHANGER
first time I’ve ever been compelled to write a review- I had this app for the past year, i enjoyed it but the words got relatively boring and really basic level stuff after not too long it seemed. The whole reason I got the app was to get notifications and widget to passively be shown high level words- with the new update there are tons of very interesting words many of which I have never heard. Love it

So good!
Really enjoying this app so far! Interface is beautiful, its a pleasure to navigate the app and always come back for more. Love daily word notifications, and love the words themselves because they seem to be useful words which i dont know - unlike other apps that give you words that are too fancy and useless. Will be buying premium once i have the money :)))

Great App
This app has been my consolation after the divorce. It has been the only thing separating me from a bridge, if you know what I mean. The words, they give me hope. They inspire me to live. Ever since I stopped living at my house (to avoid the memories) and moved into the library, I knew I could just read books, but the words on the phone make my head hurt less. I am becoming evicted from my house, but it doesn’t matter to me. If I go to jail for living in a public library, so be it. I need the words. They are an addiction to me, not as bad as my terrible weed addiction, but still harmful. I need the words, I need the words, I NEED THE WORDS.

so cute!!!
i love this app so freaking much man!! i would have never knew these words existed without this app, but not just that, they’re not any words, they’re like unique and you wouldn’t find them if u searched up synonym for some word similar and that’s what i love is that their different and words that most people don’t use in their everyday lives. i’m just so happy i found this app and i’ve been telling my friends about it because OMG. i just love it🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

ADHD friendly
The app is amazing. Very much compatible with my ADHD brain, thus it is the only app I’ve been using everyday, unlike others which I would download and forget about for eternity. Although there is one disappointing matter that is about the voices. The voices are so mechanical that it affects the pronunciations. If you could use real people for the matter, personally, I would recommend this app instead of saying hello to others!

Straightforward
Nice and we’ll structured based of the few seconds it’s a extraordinary opportunity to learn words and hopefully sponge em up , and articulate them in a social setting if anything it pronounces them for you to help along if you get stumped or stuck on a difficult word And mind you I only have seconds using this app, so it’s not a thorough review.
