Great for vocabulary building
I really like this app, it gives good examples of each word in a sentence, which helps me to remember new words. It is easy to use, and I have not encountered any bugs or glitches. I would recommend this app to anyone looking to increase their vocabulary, or to those preparing for examinations.zgy276
More than I hoped for - it’s been a huge help!!
This is an amazing vocabulary building app that has allowed me to expand my knowledge on words and use them in real life. I’ve learnt so much from this and it’s fun and easy to play. I recommend this for everyone, whether you want to improve your self or get better marks in school. This has words for every level and is helpful in every way. Plus, why stop learning?Show lessBrooke_208
Fun game that helps you stay sharp
This game is for anyone who likes to play word games but there’s a twist. It challenges your memory, keeps your vocabulary skills on point and helps you build one of the most important muscles of all - your brain! As we age we lose some of that speed with which we answer questions. We know the correct meaning of a word but sometimes we don’t take the time to read carefully and see how it’s being used. The multi levels help you to work your way up to the more difficult levels. If you play with someone you can compare answers and discuss why you chose the option you did. This game’s repetitive questions helps you to remember answers and the correct usage of words. If you have a competitive nature you will find yourself determined to find ways to stimulate your memory to make sure you don’t get it wrong again. Lots of fun and a great way to retain your vocabulary.Show lessjeanannf

Hi jeanannf - thanks for the review! We're really glad to hear that you're keeping your vocab skills on point with our app. If you have any ideas or feedback, please let us know at help@magoosh.com!Very simplified app
This is one of the best app for recite English words because its English explanation and its quite simple to get used to it.
I hopes this app can search English words as well so I can input the new words I wanna learn and classify by different category, it can save as my own personal dictionary.
Cheers!Show lessSessi lee
Great content, the worst user experience
I love Magoosh, it’s a great team with a lot of amazing material and best exam preparation sources. It has great content and I really enjoy its website . However, it has the worst Flashcards apps I have ever used. Both toefl and gre vocabulary Flashcards apps are disasters. Here are some reasons:
1. No back button: sometimes you tap ‘I knew this word’ or ‘I didn’t know this word’ unintentionally and since there is no return button you have to wait until you see that word again (if you tap ‘I knew this word’ by mistake you have to wait a a lot because that goes to the end of the list.
2. No word list: the best way to learn vocabulary is of course using Flashcards and not wordlists. However there are times when you need to have an overall view of all the words you have mastered, for example before an exam, to see if you have forgotten any of them. So a feature of wordlist is essential.
3. Stupid random words: the words don’t have a proper algorithm to be shown. When you don’t know a word and you tap on ‘I didn’t know this word’ after 1 additional Flashcards the app shows you the same word and then 1 additional word and then the same word until that word gets green. If you learn a word just now it must be some delay until the app shows you the word again. But the current algorithm causes the word to be green very soon and you don’t see the word again until you master all the words of the deck so that you can review green words.Show lesspouyabh

Hey Pouyabh, thanks so much for this detailed feedback. It seems like your ideas are for our flashcards apps (not this Vocabulary Builder app) -- regardless, we'll be sure to mark these suggestions as possible features for future updates. If you have any additional ideas, please let us know at help@magoosh.com!Worthwhile
Effective learning is to associate and revise, as this vocabulary builder app emphasis correcting over the words your most unfamiliar with, which moreover focuses on your weaknesses into strengths of endless supply of needed words into your vocabulary building studies, and is complimentary with the most powerful learning system ever being my own created mnemonic vocabulary flash cards. - Best thanks Mark Roberts.Show lessAlien-tech

THE study tool for vocab prep
Studying for the GRE, focusing primarily on a high quantitative score, I disregarded the verbal section in my studies. After getting this app, I’m seeing a huge jump. Doing one brush through isn’t enough but 2-3 times per level helps me memorize the definition and proper usage of each word.
After one completion, you can typically tell which answer is correct from the options. After 2-3 you’ll know the definition without seeing the options at all.
One note: I wish they’d label if the word was a adjective, noun, or verb.
Love this app.Show lessOnepiece92857-
Use more diversity
This app is really excellent for building up GRE vocabulary. But I would like to request you to update this with more diverse way of checking that the user are really getting used to the words by using different example instead of same meaning every time for checking correctness. You can use fill in the blanks, sentence completion or other way to check whether the users are actually getting the words or not. Showing same thing repeatedly sometimes lead user to just remember how it looks like for the correct answer.Show lessRaihanul Haque
