Best app ever

When I first played this app I was a little bit confused but when my dad played this app I was looking at the app then I got the hang of it and I was able to solve every single question.

Broken dreams

Sometimes broken dreams can be really hard, but we need to walk even with our heart broken.

Surreal

A bit confusing, yet very much welcome! I or we as a people always can do better in our word selections. I was doing or trying hard to do well in word selections on two word games Word Wars & Word friends 2 . I lose often but that is to make you better I run out of current internet reasons excuses oh well many players are using words of different languages, well. If I find it costs I will have to let it go! The idiom app which I find confusing but I like .

Fun to use But....

So I really like this app... But it could be 1000x better. So why am I giving it 5 stars? Let’s say you drive a Audi, it’s a great car and fun to drive but so much improvements could be made such as the stereo, horsepower, etc. It might not be a Lamborghini but you’d still rate it as 5 stars because even though it could get a lot better it still does it’s job extremely well.

So here’s the thing. To me the reason I got this app is simple: memory. The way the app is rn is fine, you can memorize idioms and all. But the problem is that it could be sooo much more effective if it just used a few basic principles of memory. For example, ideas such as the forgetting curve etc. (there is much more but I won’t bore you😄). The developers should know these principles and apply them to the app so that we all get the best experience possible from it and learn efficiently.

Thanks for reading, David. 🙏

Dear David, Thank you so much for this detailed review! 🙏🏻 We really try to do our best glad to improve the app, and you'll see some new features very soon! So stay in touch and good luck with your studies! ❤️

Love it

I love the app. But free for 3days was a bit not enough to decide wether to take it up or not. As for learning a skill u need more time to work n understand it. While getting use to it the time expires n than start weighing should I go for it or drop it.

Thank you so much for this detailed and useful review! 🙏🏻 We totally understand your point, and we are really sorry about the app being inconvenient for you. If you haven't decided yet whether you want to buy the app or not, we have the option to use it for free by watching ads. This should give you extra time to evaluate the benefits of the app for your studying. We have to provide our living so we cannot make the app free at all. Therefore we hope this option will help you to solve the issue. If there is anything we can do to make the app work better for you, we kindly ask you to let us know here, or via email: support@basenjiapps.com. Sending you best wishes!

Not for non-English speaking people

This app is only for people who already know English. This did not help the person I downloaded it for at all because she does not know English, she just moved here. It explains everything in English, that doesn’t help someone that doesn’t know the language. I do not recommend this app for anyone looking to LEARN English.
