### 5/5 — 是我需要的，有语音读英文和中文，非常好，简单好用

*2025-06-19*

是我需要的，有语音读英文和中文，非常好，简单好用

**Developer response:** 感谢你的评价，看到「简单好用」真的会很开心。

英文和中文都能读出来，正是希望你在宿舍、路上也能随时听一听、记一记——不用复杂操作，打开就能学，这点和你说的完全一致。

如果之后有想加的功能，或哪里用着不顺手，欢迎随时留言；我会认真看、慢慢改。祝你学习顺利，单词越记越轻松。

### 5/5 — 增加词频排序

*2022-03-13*

建议增加每个字母组的词频排序，比如前1000

**Developer response:** 你好，9.0版本已优化，适配最新系统，欢迎更新体验。

 Around the galaxy, there are no brighter stars than you. 环游遍了整个星系，找不到比你更亮的星星。

### 2/5 — 学习内容单调不有趣

*2020-06-22*

学习内容单调

**Developer response:** 您好，这条评价是 2020 年的，当时版本确实主要是「看词表 + 听发音」，形式比较单一，向您说声抱歉。

这几年到 10.2.0 我们陆续加了：每日测验与打卡、自定义播放列表与连播、主屏小组件、列表/网格切换、学习记录（已学/已掌握）、详情页词典与分享等，希望换几种方式学会更轻松一些。

词库仍是 3000 核心词汇，没有做成游戏闯关类 App；若您还愿意给一次机会，欢迎更新后试试「测验」和「播放列表」Tab。有任何具体想法也欢迎继续留言，我们会认真参考。谢谢您的反馈。

### 1/5 — 声音

*2020-06-03*

声音单词发音太小

### 4/5 — 评论

*2020-03-12*

如果有评分和讲解就更好了！🥳😘

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈！您说的评分功能是指什么？讲解后缀考虑增加，感谢支持！

### 1/5 — 怎么只有单词……哪里测评，如何分级学习

*2020-02-29*

怎么只有单词……哪里测评，如何分级学习

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈！暂时不支持测评，分级学习是指分类的词汇，因为是针对初级的，不知道您心里的分级学习是怎么样，期待你的回复~

### 3/5 — 为什么点单词，不发声了

*2019-12-10*

没声音

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈，8.0版本已经支持设置音量开关、速度、大小等，祝好~
