## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I wanted to love

*2026-04-17*

It doesn’t refresh at all, I really wanted to love this. I’ve had it for weeks and I think the word has changed 3 times, despite me having it on the “hourly” update

**Developer response:** I’m so sorry for the bugs :( I’ve addressed all of these and it should be working as expected in the latest version!

### 1/5 — Always switched back to Dutch

*2024-03-20*

No matter how many times I switch the language to French it always ends up switching back to Dutch

### 4/5 — Great App but

*2026-01-30*

It’s a great app and pro is really reasonable, but I noticed that the word list (Specifically in Portuguese) has some just wrong. Ele = it is not true and it feels wrong not having “to” in front of un-conjugated verbs. Otherwise the idea is great. Having a bug where the word list keeps deselecting itself.

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-01-25*

Pictures would help so much

### 4/5 — A nice idea but really should include article gender!

*2022-09-26*

Nice little widget but all translations should include article gender. If you don’t know the gender you don’t know the word!

### 4/5 — Very cool idea

*2022-01-06*

It’s a good idea I’d love a feature where we could have the most common 20-50-100-500 etc because 1000 is too much to remember

### 5/5 — Free version okay

*2026-01-20*

I could not get the word of the day to change. It seemed to be stuck. Then one day I needed to invert my phone color for some reason, to read a pdf at night or something, then I noticed that toggling the invert color button would change the word of the day every time. So that was weird. Also the free version words are very basic, if you have been learning for a while you may not find it useful. I like the idea otherwise,
Maybe the paid version is great but I can’t justify it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-03*

Makes learning a language so easy!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

Daily vocabulary to keep your mind working. Easy fun way to learn words from another country every day! Great idea.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-01-03*

An amazing App where I can make it a widget and learn German from my home screen everyday!
