Thanks ### 1/5 — Paid to buy but only 10 words *2017-07-03, version 1.0* I bought it the realized it has only 10 words to learn. After completed learning those 10 words, no other words come. As the description of the App, I thought maybe only 10 words are provided per day, but then after 40 hours, no other words appear either. Is this a cheat to sell an app for a few dollars but only able to study 10 words??? ### 1/5 — Error app *2017-06-15, version 1.0* Buy 2 apps but band7 error ### 2/5 — I cannot play sound on the listen and match. *2016-07-08* How can I make this app work? **Developer response:** You need to switch the sound on on your phone - use headphones to help activate the sound. Watch my YouTube videos about how to get the most out of the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why keep charge me every month *2025-07-07, version 1.0.1* Why keep charge me every month??🤬 ### 1/5 — Not satisfied *2025-03-17* There are too few vocabulary. I have mrs cullen’s books on vocabulary but this app only have a fraction of those words ### 1/5 — It isn't worthy to buy. *2024-04-10, version 1.0.1* - Only 25 topics. - 10 words for each topic. ### 1/5 — All good, but: *2024-03-19* But the sound doesn't work. So I can't do the exercises or listen to the assignments. ### 1/5 — Please fix the bug *2022-09-19, version 1.0.1* Sound exercise is not working After that I have closed the app totally Then the learn the meaning is not working at all It is not show the words meaning ### 1/5 — No sound *2021-02-09, version 1.0.1* The sounds don’t work when you want to listen to how the words are pronounced. ### 1/5 — Error! *2020-12-22, version 1.0.1* Cannot listen! Cant study ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-03-21, version 1.0* There is no sound. I can’t hear anything ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-02-12, version 1.0* I have purchased this app even after reading a negative review about some problem with the audio, and I had the same problem... additionally, even after trying to guess the right words without listening, I could not change the topic.. that’s really a shame, since it had the potential to be an awesome app that could help students to study for ielts.. ### 1/5 — Sound *2020-01-03* The sound doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the two must-have apps for IELTS/English vocab *2023-04-05, version 1.0.1* This app is highly recommended. Even though some of these words are familiar to me, I am still amazed at how little I know about their second, even third meaning. For example, what does “Establish” mean besides “to build/create something”? ### 5/5 — Change to higher level *2022-02-22, version 1.0.1* May I change to Cullen IELTS Vocab 8+ as I know almost all the words of this level? ### 5/5 — Good but should be improved *2021-06-11* Thank you for developing this app! It’s great, overall. However, I think the vocabulary list of each topic is a bit short. It should be longer. Besides, I guess the underlying idea behind those lists is to use words actively, not just understanding their meaning solely. Therefore, the app’s exercises should focus on that, as the word lists are pretty much familiar to IELTS learners. Also, it would be better if the example sentences are relevant or closely related to IELTS activities. Another thing is that since most words are familiar to learners, some people might overlook the app’s meaning. However, we are not sure know how use them appropriately in the right context (formal or informal?, speaking or writing?). Therefore, it is better to emphasize the notion of ‘active’ and ‘passive’ language for the sake of the app’s popularity. ### 5/5 — Great vocabulary app *2020-06-07* It’s so helpful that when you go through all the processes, these words become your active vocabulary. The words make your writing and speaking more accurate. ### 5/5 — Necessary app *2017-02-26* If you want to take the IELTS exam or just learn English vocabulary, this app will help you. ### 5/5 — Amazing App - A Must for anyone taking ielts *2016-10-16* This app really helped me to learn the needed vocabulary to pass the ielts test. Definitely recommend the app and any of Pauline Cullen's resources such as her books and Facebook page 😊 ### 5/5 — Great IELTS resource *2016-10-16* Recommend this for any students studying for IELTS and hoping for Band 7 ### 5/5 — Great value *2015-09-30* Finally an English language app written by an expert. I recommend to all of my friends who want to take their English to the next level whether they do IELTS or not. But an essential tool if you are doing IELTS ### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!! *2015-09-13* This app is a must for any IELTS aspirant. I like how the App is teaching you top-wise vocabulary. IELTS exam always have certain topics, the vocabs here are repeatedly seen in the exam .The App is also will help you memorise and master the use of these words. I highly recommend this App. ### 4/5 — Sound good *2018-07-17, version 1.0* 4 stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
