## What is Gold List?

The ultimate vocabulary notebook for SAT, GRE, language learning, and general studies.

Tired of the "memorize and forget" cycle? Do you spend hours on flashcards only to blank out during an exam or conversation?

The problem isn't your memory; it's your method. Don't force your brain to memorize. Let it process information naturally.

GoldList is the first app designed to bring the scientific "Spaced Repetition" and "Distillation" methods to your digital life, focusing specifically on long-term retention.

WHY TRADITIONAL METHODS FAIL Standard flashcards often force you to review the same words repeatedly, creating a false sense of mastery in your Short-Term Memory. Once the exam is over, the information fades.

The GoldList method lets information "rest" for at least 2 weeks. When you return, you only review what you've naturally forgotten. This ensures true, sustainable learning.

USE CASES

Exam Prep: Master complex vocabulary for SAT, GRE, or ACT without stress.

Language Learning: Build a solid foundation in Spanish, French, German, or any new language.

General Notes: Organize knowledge for any subject effectively.

HOW IT WORKS

Headlist: Write down the words or notes you want to learn.

Rest: Let the list sit for at least 2 weeks. Do not review it. (Your brain processes this in the background).

Distill: Return to the list. You will naturally remember about 30%. Only copy the forgotten 70% into a new, shorter list.

Repeat: Continue this cycle until the information is permanently stored in your long-term memory.

KEY FEATURES

Unlimited Notebooks: Separate your Spanish vocabulary from your Biology notes.

Smart Tracking: The app tracks the 2-week cycles for you and notifies you when it's time to distill.


GoldList requires an active subscription or a free 3-day trial to access its features, including unlimited word additions, unlimited notebooks, AI translation, and the AI sentence generator. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Unlock the true potential of your memory.

### 1/5 — Bug?

*2026-08-23*

Bonjour, je viens tout juste d’installer l’application et la page est figée sur la section « Imagine que tu as ajouté ces mots aujourd’hui: Vagar, Lograr […] » Je suis incapable de descendre la page ou de continuer. J’ai essayé de tout fermer et recommencer, mais ça reste à nouveau figé sur cette page à chaque fois… Que faire? Merci beaucoup.

**Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour votre message, et désolé pour ce problème 🙏 Nous allons vérifier ce bug afin de le corriger au plus vite.

En attendant, pourriez-vous essayer de désinstaller puis réinstaller l’application ? Si le problème persiste, vous pouvez nous contacter directement à landmarkaiguide@gmail.com afin que nous puissions vous aider plus rapidement.

Merci pour votre patience et encore désolé pour ce souci ! ❤️

### 1/5 — Had to pay

*2026-07-07*

If you even wanted to learn you had to pay at least 10 dollars for a month. There are apps that are better and are free. Don’t install if you want to learn for free.

### 1/5 — Pay kind of app

*2026-06-27*

I downloaded this app expecting a easy to learn and helpful app and this is what it displays, until you want to actually learn a lesson. From my personal experience, I signed in expecting a lesson, but it expects me to pay for my lessons every month, which is not what I was looking for. I was looking for a free app to learn my lessons. And across this page, there was no X button to get out of that page, instead below, it said "try it for 0.00" and usually I do not want to do that with this app. I am disappointed because this made it seem like a very good app but you have to pay for everything. Please at least add an X button to your paying pages, not everyone wants to pay for everything.

### 5/5 — Random

*2026-06-20*

This actually saved me from listening to Spanish I love this app so much

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re really happy Gold List is helping you enjoy Spanish learning more. Listening is still important, but building vocabulary in a calm and structured way can make it much easier over time. We are currently trying to make app better in terms of vocabulary collecting experience. 

Thank you for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-14*

It’s very good it helped me

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really happy to hear that Gold List helped you.

We’ll keep improving the app and adding more useful features to make the vocabulary learning process even smoother.

### 2/5 — false

*2026-06-14*

all the promotions and people online claiming u will learn a new language quick are false this app doesnt even teach you just makes u write down things you already know but what if u don’t know anything and need to be taught?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Gold List is not a traditional language course and does not claim to teach a full language by itself. It is a digital companion for the Gold List Method, where users add vocabulary they want to remember and review it at structured intervals.

The Gold List Method has never been about learning a language quickly. It is based on building long-term vocabulary through writing, reviewing, and spaced repetition over longer intervals.

We also explain inside the app that this method may not be suitable for everyone. Some learners may prefer guided lessons or ready-made content, while this method is more about creating a structured vocabulary habit over time.

We’ll keep improving how we explain the app’s purpose and workflow.

### 1/5 — Absolutely trash

*2026-06-09*

Made me spend $10 dollars a month and won’t teach me, this app is just a notebook, you can easily recreate it using a $3 notebook and a pencil. Do NOT buy people saying this works are just brain dead or can’t get off their screen so they buy a digital notebook

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The app does not claim to teach a language by itself. Its purpose is to help users apply the Gold List Method digitally by organizing lists, tracking review times, and keeping the process easier to follow.

The method can definitely be done with a paper notebook and a pencil. This app is simply a digital alternative for users who prefer using their phone instead of manually tracking everything on paper. It is totally optional to use, also,it offers free trial to see if it is for you or not. 

I understand if it did not meet your expectations, and I appreciate the feedback.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2026-06-07*

Very good app learned Spanish in 2 weeks

### 1/5 — Sign in

*2026-05-22*

It won’t let me sign in, I thought it was my phone so I signed in on another app and it worked. It lets me go all the way on the sign in but when it’s talking about trying the gold list method it just freezes and nothing happens, it made me mad so I uninstalled it and tried again but the same thing happened! So personally I don’t like this app if possible I’d give it a zero out of ten since I couldn’t use it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the negative experience you had.

Sometimes bugs may occur, and once we identify them, releasing fixes can depend on Apple’s review process.

For more detailed information and support, you can contact us at [landmarkaiguide@gmail.com](mailto:landmarkaiguide@gmail.com).

Have a nice day.

### 5/5 — love it 💗

*2026-03-29*

I HAVE NO WORDS I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH!💗❤️

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and love!!. We are trying to make it better and better each day.
