Excellent vocab builder and dictionary

Simple, fast, a built in flashcard of favorites. No ads. Free. God. Such an excellent app. It would be better with pronunciation, but it’s okay without it.

Best free vocab app!

The best free vocab app at this point in time! The only thing that would make it better is if they could add a “word of the day” widget that randomly shows the definition of one of your added words on a widget.

Love the app but

It drives me mad that almost every definition on the app uses the word or variation of the word I’m trying to learn as it’s definition.

The great free app for learning.

Most learning apps have essential features locked behind a subscription. It’s refreshing to have an app that does exactly what it says it does. Thank you for making it free for everyone looking to better themselves.

Review for Deft

Awesome app! Very streamlined and easy to use, great way to review vocabulary for many applications. Highly recommend for anyone!
