### 1/5 — Needs updates

*2023-10-26, version 1.02*

App is crashing with iOS 17. Is it going to be updated?

### 2/5 — Not comfortable

*2016-09-27*

To surf another word swapping is not possible. I have to come back and select another word... This system is time consuming.. :(

### 4/5 — GRE Vocab

*2021-03-09, version 1.02*

Great app, loved the short sets and quizzes. It would help if there was an audio that pronounced the words.

### 4/5 — great

*2020-02-29, version 1.02*

great for learning. the only thing is I think the definition to the word ‘Obsequy’ is incorrect and is actually the definition to the word ‘Obloquy’. 

the definition to ‘Obsequy’ (or ‘Obsequies’) is ‘a funeral right or ceremony’ but the definition in the app is ‘state of disgrace from public shame’, which is the definition to ‘Obloquy’.

### 4/5 — GRE Words

*2019-06-26, version 1.02*

I absolutely enjoy using the app and learning new words. However, it would be helpful if there was audio to accompany the words. So that a person can know that they have the appropriate pronunciations to the words.

### 4/5 — Can you please update the UI for X series?

Love the app. But really do update it to the suit the notch.
