Some sentences confuse me more and some seem run on or too long. If they can approve upon their sentences on the flash cards I will give them five stars. ### 5/5 — The best one *2025-12-08, version 3.6.3* I have predilection for flashcard 🧡 ### 4/5 — Best vocabulary builder app *2025-12-05, version 3.6.3* Good for non GRE applicants too ### 4/5 — Overall really good - needs to give more than one meaning though *2025-11-14, version 3.6.3* Really a good app. But it only gives one meaning for some words that have a very different more commonly used meaning. On words that have more than one Webster definition, this app needs to give two most common meanings. ### 5/5 — Use this *2025-11-13, version 3.6.3* Highly recommend for prep . Easy to use ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-12, version 3.6.3* Very comprehensive for GRE prep ### 5/5 — Grafetul *2025-10-30, version 3.6.3* Thank you for support me. 100 recommended ### 3/5 — Not working properly *2025-10-20, version 3.6.3* Although it is very useful in the words presented, the app often loses the advances in learning that one has done, so usually it makes you go through the same words again even if you had already mastered them ### 5/5 — Fun & free *2025-10-15, version 3.6.3* Great flash cards & sentences. Wish they had a math section ### 5/5 — Good flashcards *2025-10-09, version 3.6.3* No ads (so far), good system to actually make you memorize the vocab ### 5/5 — Best way to learn vocabulary *2025-10-04, version 3.6.3* Thank you for helping me to learning vocabulary. I think this app is best for learning vocabulary because of there have definitions, meaning, and explanations in a word. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2025-09-06, version 3.6.3* There are some features that are missing, like for example the ability to manually change the status of a word from Mastered to Learning. I accidentally clicked mastered on a word I hadn’t known, and now I can’t change it and hence it wont appear in the list of words I need to study. ### 5/5 — Life saver!! *2025-08-27, version 3.6.3* I didn’t realize how bad my vocab was till I started this app ### 5/5 — No ads and it's free! *2025-08-26, version 3.6.3* Hope they keep these good features ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2025-08-23, version 3.6.3* Wonderful way to build vocabulary in an easy and assured way ### 4/5 — nice app, but some bugs! *2025-08-12, version 3.6.3* the app itself is very nice and easy to use, but i noticed there are still some bugs. sometimes after you master a word, it pops up again as a new word. sometimes after i’ve mastered a deck, it will change the next day to say that i still have 1 more card to master in that deck. and sometimes after you press “next” the screen is just blank and the definition card doesn’t show up. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-07-31, version 3.6.3* The way you have to go through the flash cards individually and almost randomly really helps make the vocab words stick. It’s sometimes frustrating to want to go back and single words out for review since there is no option to do that. But I find that this allows for a more through review anyways, so I take it as a constructively challenging. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recent progress is removed *2026-07-03* Recent progress is not saved properly. Everytime I reopen the app, it reverts back to a previous state and all my recent progress is removed. This gets even worse when phone is in low power mode. The app needs to save the activity on each update and not in background (app could get killed when in background). This is a very basic thing to keep in mind while developing apps, but the developers seem to have missed this. It's really frustrating to have your progress reset everytime you reopen the app! ### 1/5 — Forces survey questions *2026-04-10, version 3.6.3* I'm fundamentally opposed to forced data gathering of any kind. Fix this please. ### 1/5 — Poor app and inflexible design *2023-11-07, version 3.1.4* App is buggy and frequently loses your progress or fails to calibrate to your responses No way to see list of all words - you’re forced to click through the flashcards, which are shown in a set order depending on how much magoosh thinks you struggled with it. Good concept but with a subpar model fueling the ranking, often receive overly redundant cards and am left wondering about the words that I saw less recently No way to add cards or supplement vocab ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-02-18, version 3.1.4* I don’t need to be notified of the magoosh blog every 5 flash cards. It’s extremely irritating to see when I already pay for a subscription ### 1/5 — What is happening!? I have a test soon and the app won’t open!! *2021-10-07, version 3.1.4* The app won’t open?? ### 1/5 — Server error can’t login *2021-09-15, version 3.1.4* The content of the app is awesome but as an app it failed. I can’t login with gmail facebook or anything. Its just keep showing me login failed and server error ### 1/5 — Great material, failed app *2020-06-12* The vocabulary is very helpful. However, as an app, it has so many failures and shortcomings it’s almost impossible to use anymore. Not once, but twice it has completely lost hundreds of cards of progress that I had to go back and spend forever redoing. If you accidentally answer wrong or tap past a word you don’t actually know, there is no going back and you have to wait until that card pops up again randomly (and if you know it but answered wrong once, you have to answer it right 3+ times for it to register that you know it). You have no control over the order of the words or any options to view the word lists; you get them randomly, one at a time. If you want to go back and review a few words from a set, you have to also go through the 47 words you know 3+ times each to find those few words you want. I’m seriously considering just taking the time to manually enter these words into a quizlet set so that I can get the vocabulary words with an actually good digital flash card system. **Developer response:** I am so sorry for the trouble you have had with the app! If you continue to experience these issues, please feel free to reach out to help@magoosh.com for support. Best wishes! -Ben from Magoosh ### 1/5 — Can't select text inside given examples. *2018-01-23* After new update can't select text and copy it, doing to translate it in google translate. Now i had to write the whole text word by word. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2017-08-17, version 2.4.2* It requires you to create an account and sign in, won't work offline, the app is slow and glitchy, and it won't display any vocabulary. It's a shame, the mastered/reviewing/learning feature looked cool. ### 1/5 — Online Account Required??? *2013-10-01, version 2* Why is there even a need to sync answers with an online account??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-08-23, version 3.6.3* Really helpful app for learning new vocabulary, this has helped me use my spare time learning as opposed to using my time playing gaming apps ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-22, version 3.6.3* Studying for the GRE is hard…this Vocab App really breaks the process down to small steps that makes the task less daunting..thank you!!! 💯💯💯🍀👍🙌✌️👌🫶😎 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-02, version 3.6.3* Well organized ### 5/5 — Amazing Way to Learn Vocab! *2026-07-02, version 3.6.3* Love, love, love you guys!! I started out just wanting to passively learn vocab in my day-to-day, and Magoosh has been nothing but loyal to that goal. Just having the habit of doing flash cards 10 minutes a day—heck, even 5—is enough to learn valuable vocab that I can use in my essays. Might come in handy if I need to take the GRE in the future too :) Thank you, Magoosh <3 Love you! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-05-29, version 3.6.3* Looking for a neutral, honest review? Here. I’ve simply found this app helpful. Nothing extravagant. Seems like a good set for words to study for the GRE. ### 5/5 — GPT recommended this as one of the best free GRE vocab resources *2026-03-25, version 3.6.3* This is amazing.

It helps me to stop doom scrolling and to simply click over to here and pick up where I left off with my word knowledge! ### 5/5 — Definitely worth downloading *2026-01-22, version 3.6.3* The app is very helpful for beginners who are learning new words. ### 5/5 — Great study tool *2025-12-20, version 3.6.3* I absolutely love the way this app is designed and interacts with the people studying for a test --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
