Leave a Review Word Vault
Brilliant app
I just love this app. All those words I mean to look up, I save here and review. It is so easy to use and well thought out as an interface, I highly recommend it.Admah
Super useful for those who take their words seriously!
Clever method to remember and learn new words.
Would love a share extension to export words into the app from other apps. And also an iPad app!Think_hard
Best app for advanced vocab building
I'm looking to take the GRE's again to apply to get my 2nd masters, and I only wish this app was available 17 years ago when i first took them. Rather than drill me on random 'big words,' many of which I already know, this app enables me to generate a list of only the words *I* want to learn, and then quizzes me on them in an ingenious & most difficult way that really reinforces long-term memory, which is by skipping the multiple choice, displaying a random definition, and then forcing me to recall what word I've saved best fits it. Correct spelling counts, and the app won't drop a word off your list until you correctly recall it in random order 3 times in a row. Difficult to describe, but it's hard & effective. My only beef which gives it 4 stars is the difficulty syncing Word Vault among different iOS devices w/o Dropbox account. It claims this is possible via iCloud back up, but there's no instructions on HOW!!!Show lessAgent Orange Tabby
Fantastic app
This is the best dictionary app I've used. It's fast, has great features, good pronunciation, nice design, allows you to track the sources of your words, has illustrations, daily quiz. I could keep going it's so full of well designed features.Redlightbulb
Essential App for Writers
I'm not a native speaker, but this app has taught me to remember many words I read from books. The daily reminder to practice these words introduces a motivating routine for me.Sayz Lim
Potential
Needs to let me review as many words as i want. Needs to show only favorite words when opening app and not the vault where it shows random words i never cared for. Needs to show different forms of the words when looking up a word. Fix these issues please and will be 5 stars.bunner528
Simple Idea, Terrific Execution
I don't normally leave reviews, but I love this app. This is the kind of idea which fulfills a basic need but does it in a simple and very effective way.
It's not overly complicated unnecessarily and it allows you to very simply save words you'd like to learn, recall, and use more often. Just what I was looking for. Thank you to the devs for a job well done.Show lessKeahole Point
Love this app!
Great app! I use it while reading to capture, learn, and retain words. I like that you can select "favorite" words and the whole quiz process. The only improvement I would suggest is to expand on the definitions to include more examples of the words in sentences and include an option to reveal synonyms and antonyms.Show lessI'm here because of songza
Almost Best iPhone Dictionary App
NEEDS BETTER DICTIONARY!!
This app is elegantly designed, and for the most part it works very well, but the dictionary is totally lacking! iOS's built in dictionary is much more comprehensive than this app that costs $5. This is very frustrating and shouldn't be the case. Their is little to no etymologies given. Many words don't even show up. The word review feature is killer if it was only backed up by a f**kin' half way decent dictionary. The app has one job! Couldn't they just use the definitions your iPhone already provides you with?!
Please please please improve the dictionary in your DICTIONARY app. If they could deliver what is promised then the app would easily be worth the money. I want this app to be good, I like building up my word vault! Don't let us down, you're almost there!Show lesssadtonotusehyperlapse
Definitions need work
5-star app with 3-star definitions. Look up a word in this app--say, "perfunctory"--then in the Merriam Webster's or American Heritage and see how much richer it is in the latter. Of course that's not the point-- the object here is to learn vocabulary, nuances of which can be discerned later. I just know it could facilitate word retention if I could delve into more specificity, or etymology in the process.Show lessDementior
