I though nothing of it until it gave me multiple warnings that the same thing was used to scam people and log into their account and do thing with it. Do not download this, it’s a terrible app even if it seems like a dream app. it’s not worth it, I would just find a good study then this. ### 3/5 — speaking features *2024-04-15, version 3.4.8* i only just now downloaded this app and based on the first 10 minutes of usage, i have mixed feelings. the overall idea and execution is relatively nice, however the speaking feature is terrible. i’m not sure exactly what’s wrong with it but it cannot detect most of the words i was trying to say (not user error trust me) and kept saying incorrect to the point where i just had to say i couldn’t speak right now. ### 4/5 — Fixes needed *2024-03-29, version 3.4.8* Fix streak screen gets stuck ### 4/5 — A good product needs improvement *2024-03-17, version 3.4.7* The product is useful for English learners who want to build their own word list. However, it has two obvious flaws: inaccurate GIFs and inaccurate voice recognition for word pronunciation. The flaws are acceptable and that’s why I’m still using it. I have a request. Could you add a new setting to stop the Daily Recommendation word list? I use Climb to study the words I want to learn only, and I’m tired of seeing irrelevant words in the daily quiz. ### 3/5 — Lots of potential *2023-10-07, version 3.2.13* Mostly good, but laggy, incorrect pronunciations for some words, and gif matching to words is difficult especially if the word has multiple meanings. ## Frequently asked questions about Climb ### What does the Climb app do?
