  • Best Vocabulary Building App EVER.

    I am quite the nerd when it come to reading. Sometimes i read 5 books at a time. I pride myself on having an extensive vocabulary. Sometimes my friends will stop me to ask what a word i used meant. Since i hv started using this app i hv become aware of using several words inappropriately. The process they use on this app insures you will retain what you learn while in app and yet keeps everything very simple and fun! I 100% recommend this app to anyone wishing to expand their vocabulay.

  • Amazing App

    The best vocabulary building app I’ve ever used. Excellent for expanding your vocabulary. It has audio recordings for the words and generally works well (haven’t come across any bugs thus far) and is enjoyable to use.
    Thanks for making such an Amazing app! : )
  • APP REVIEW 1

    I think this app is a great way to broaden your vocabulary as well as challenge your critical thinking skills. The repetitiveness of the vocabulary questions help drill the definitions in your brain. It’s also very easy to use which makes leaving words simpler. Although, i think there could be a couple of additional add-ons to make the app better. This includes a brief description of the select few words that could have multiple meanings and/or nouns and verbs to along with it. Overall, this app is great and definitely helps you obtain a great vocabulary!

  • Great vocabulary review and builder

    This is an excellent app for reviewing,strengthening, and improving your vocabulary. The feature I especially like is the ability to hear the pronunciation. Another helpful feature is the inclusion of a sentence using the word in an up to date,relatable, and understandable way.
    I enjoy the pace of exercise as you can pick it up and put it down as time allows and it picks up where you last left off.
    Thank you for making this app free and available to so many that would not be able to access this amazing mind experience otherwise.

  • Should include own list

    Really good app! Lists are are really good and very user friendly interface! Just wish that you were able to make your ‘own list’ with your own words or bookmark words to add to a custom list.
  • Great for Building Your Vocabulary

    I’m using the app to build my vocabulary, and I can absolutely tell that it’s paying off. I’m seeing and hearing the words I’m learning from the app in articles, podcasts, books, etc. I can recall learning some words in the past, but I have forgotten a great deal. My plan is to use the app for a few minutes every day to keep my words fresh and fun. It’s easy to forget words if you don’t use them, so I want to keep engaging with these peculiar terms.

  • Great app in general

    Vocabulary Builder is a great app in general, but I think it should have at least one more example sentence per word, and alternate between the two sentences on the in/correct screen. Additionally, I think it would be a good idea to also include the etymology of the word on the same screen, underneath the example sentence. I find knowing the basic etymology of a word helps me remember it more effectively.

  • Helps with memory and ADD

    This app has not only made my mornings fun and productive, it also has helped with my terrible memory due to ADD. I’m learning lots of new and practical words I can use to be more concise (as I’m a teacher). It’s free, super fun, and you feel really good about yourself after you complete a section! It only takes 5-10 minutes per section so it’s great for mornings. It’s a rewarding way to boost memory, vocabulary, and continue to educate yourself! Also a great option for students studying for high school or college tests. Thank you for this app!!!

  • Simple but Useful

    The interface is really simple and unadorned but it offers several very useful vocabulary sets ranging from intermediate to advanced. A good revision tool.
    I do think however that where there is some ambiguity as to whether a word is being instantiated in its noun or its verbal form there should be the conventional (n) or (v) annotation. This way you could increase overall vocabulary scores by testing alternate meanings of morphologically identical entries.
