The app keeps crashing while I use it, however, which makes me reticent to keep using it. ### 2/5 — Update *2019-10-27* The app is glitching and not showing the words ### 2/5 — Flash card option not working properly *2019-10-24* The words on the flash cards are not showing up. Not just that, the entire 3rd section has the same problem. ### 2/5 — Paid version freezing *2019-09-24* I was using the free version with ease and seamless transitions between pages. I decided to buy the paid version after seeing some recommendations. Then boom! After the purchase the app became extremely slow. Restarted phone, didn’t change anytt ### 2/5 — Crashing frequently and deadly slow *2018-10-15* Please improve speed and crash issue.. otherwise its great app ### 1/5 — No “revise" option-terrible for learning *2015-12-23, version 1.3* I bought this to learn 300 high frequency list. The flash card format is nice. However that’s about it. You get a word, and there are only two things you can do with it: if you don’t know it, you send it to the folder “Study it” and if you know, “Know it”. Unless you already know the word, the words that you are just learning go back to the “Study” folder and just get mixed with the entire stack of almost 300 words! Assuming I don’t know most of the words in this stack (that’s why I buy it right), you can calculate the probability of me coming across any word I learned again…. This is so inefficient for memorization. ### 1/5 — Tired of studying *2015-09-27* There are free apps that do the same thing. Get Magoosh. ### 2/5 — Screenshots are misguiding *2013-10-28* The screenshots show that these flashcards have 800 essential words, however they just have 300 words. Not worth $5 ### 2/5 — Definitions poor *2013-07-27* Nicely organized to help you keep track of the words you know and the ones you don't but the word definitions are basic and without nuance, making it difficult to know how to distinguish the word from synonyms and how to use it in real life. ### 3/5 — Word lists excellent, interface suboptimal *2013-06-22* Grouping of the words into an "essential" list was great. However, needs to ability to rate words on a graded scale, vice a binary one (either "know it" or "don't know it") ### 1/5 — Inaccurate definitions *2012-10-26, version 1.2* I'm finding that many of the definitions miss the mark. In addition, some of the sentences used to illustrate the words contain grammatical errors. ### 3/5 — Good but could be better *2012-10-21, version 1.2* Needs text to speech of each word. Also it needs a third box labeled sort of know it. It only has two boxes- know it and study it. A third box would be helpful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Near useless *2020-09-02* I got the paid version because the book by them had a convenient list of roots you could study independently of the word. This app is utterly useless in that respect and it was a waste of my money. The “Flashcards” have the root and meaning on the same side!!! Useless! ### 1/5 — 10 WORDS ONLY!!! *2020-05-01, version 8.17.6525* Only gives out 10 words free rest of the app is paid. Only good feature is the pretest,which shows your current aptitude.DELETED THE APP NEXT DAY ### 1/5 — Words are cutoff making the app unusable *2020-02-06* Please fix the app ### 1/5 — Good content but *2019-12-30* Took forever to fix a bug that pretty much rendered the app useless. ### 1/5 — words not showing up *2019-11-24* flashcards words not showing up ### 1/5 — Words not showing up in flash cards *2019-10-29* In the flash card section, the words are not displaying on the card, only the definition. ### 1/5 — Needs some work *2019-10-20* This app looks like it could be useful but it crashes frequently and you can’t even read the front of some of the flashcards because the words are cut off. ### 1/5 — App not working *2018-12-22* the app remains frozen (iphone 6) and nothing happens apart from the initial screen that is displayed ### 1/5 — Worst app *2018-09-07* App takes too long to load. UI gets frozen every time i switch from tab bar. For any click user has to wait 10-15 secs till app responds. The developer has done a pretty sick task for developing. Crazy ### 1/5 — No updates???? *2018-02-27* It’s not been updated for a long time, now I cannot open the app any more. This is not fair because I paid for this app, and I was still using this to study vocabularies. Well, Barron’s is not an educator but a businessman obviously. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — M *2020-03-18* What happened to the website with projected scores? ### 5/5 — Kelvin *2019-07-27, version 6.6.4564* Very easy to use with lots of new words ### 5/5 — It needs to be updated. *2018-04-05* I can’t use this excellent app because it “ “... needs to o update it to work with iOS11.” Please the developer do help it :-) ### 5/5 — Update for 64 Bit. *2018-01-02* Please update this app for 64-bit support. I had used this for my gre earlier. And I need it again. It was extremely useful. ### 5/5 — Worth the price *2013-12-18* Works as promised! ### 5/5 — Helps me focus my time ... *2012-01-17* Separating the 300 "essential" words from the 800 "high frequency" words is a great idea. I can only work through this list a few minutes at a time so I can focus on the essential words first and come back to the rest when I have more time. ### 4/5 — Adding pronouncation is better *2020-04-28, version 8.17.6525* Adding pronouncation is better ### 4/5 — Worst app ever. It is a scam *2020-01-16* I bought the monthly subscription today for Rs 719 which is approximately $10.13 for my upcoming gre test but the app did not unlock the paid resources. I don’t know how to get the access to them **Developer response:** We would be happy to help you with this issue. Please contact our Customer Success team at support@hltcorp.com and we’ll get it resolved right away. ### 4/5 — Crashes sometimes *2019-08-31* Whenever I favorite a word the program closes out and I have to open it again. I’m trying to save every word in my GRE study book so it gets a bit old really quick. A suggestion to make the app better is to allow you to create different lists to organized lists of words to memorize. So far favoriting words is the only list I can make. ### 4/5 — Great app with annoying bug *2012-02-23* This is the best GRE vocab app out there. However, when you use the Flash Cards for all 800 words, and thoroughly close the app, and reopen, your Flash Card pile includes only the 300 'essential' words. You then can choose to 'view all words', but this resets your deck, and erases all of your progress :( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
