Excellent, thank you!

A fun resource to use to build your vocabulary.

Spannend

Endlich eine sehr anspruchsvolle Vokabel App . Was mir fehlt ist die Mรถglichkeit die Bedeutung der vier angegebenen Lรถsungen nachzuschlagen . Wenn man die richtige Wahl getroffen hat, ist die Frage sofort weg. Es wรคre toll, wenn die App Erklรคrungen zu all den 4 Bezeichnungen geben wรผrde.

Great activity BUT I wish you could tap to go to the next definition so I could look again at my choices
Not able to see my percentage of correct answers

Love this app!!

As an educator, the App Store has a wealth of interactive "programs" designed especially to be used as tools for teaching. These educational apps are 1) Very helpful in aiding with classroom discussion on a wide variety of subject matter; 2) Fun projects for students to do; and 3) A good source of educational "thinking fuel"in general! The BLANKS app seems to smear the strict demarcation line between the instructor and their class, because it challenges not only the student, but faculty as well! BLANKS is guaranteed to broaden your vocabulary base and, stimulate your deductive reasoning skills as well. Enjoy

fun and educational

Even more words, sometimes difficult ... I like the new look. Quite nice.

Could use a review function, I would by MoreBlanks if it had one.

The ads are not so bad. 4 stars because of lacking review. Otherwise fun, go download and try.
