Good clean fun
Challenging enough, and educational while still being fun. If you like word games and enjoy learning new things about a variety of topics, you will likely enjoy this app. Well done!
Glitchy or what?!
I love games of vocabulary and spelling. I was enjoying this for a very short while until the game wouldn’t allow me to spell some words like ‘atom’ correctly and it kept changing it to ‘aton’. I tried 4 times and carefully tapped the letter m. But to no avail. Similar glitches were present on other pages. ( as the page on Mona Lisa)
So perhaps I do not completely understand the rules?! Why doesn’t the system allow me to spell such a word correctly?!
I would be happy to change my rating if there were an explanation for this issue.

Spelling
Spelling of words for a program teaching English with a picture of the British flag in its icon should not use American spelling of English words! Color is spelled colour correctly if it’s English. And no I am not from England, however that is where the English language is from, so if education is important in a program there should be at least some way to spell the words both ways.

Word Nerd Heaven!
I’m a word nerd who reads with a red pen using editors’ marks. Mind The Gap is perfect for me—I get to learn about a wide variety of subjects while I’m filling in the gaps.

Nothing too exciting
And selections are from a specific point of view. One starts to feel like there is an agenda behind the specific selections. Kind of a turn off for me, but maybe someone else’s point of view.
I little too easy though. The words are obvious. Especially the shear quantity of filling out “and” “the” “in”. Not too stimulating.

Delightfully different approach to word play
This is an entertaining and challenging way to play with words. You are given a passage on a specific subject and challenged to fill in missing word fragments based only on the context. My only small quibble is when what is missing is part of the name of an individual. At that point, you really have to guess. But I am really enjoying this app a great deal.

Love this app!
Really fun, no pesky timer, but challenging. Necessary to pay careful attention to spelling and verb tenses.
Simple, smart and satisfying!
I love the arcade challenge! It makes me laugh when I fill out the gaps incorrectly and the phrase takes on a new and quirky meaning.
English is my first language and I still find the games to be challenging. A big bonus is I keep learning new things and/or refreshing my memory on subjects that I studied in the past.
I love being rewarded with delightful applause and fireworks for a perfect score!

Just hard enough to make you think but not hard enough to make you give up
REVIEW
Great app for every level of knowledge of english!
Gostei muito
Serve pra quem já tem noção do idioma se aprimorar em vocabulário e gramática. Muito bom.
Addictive & informative
I've addressed the puzzle now for about 3months on a daily basis. It is now habit to mind the gap every day at elevenses. The set is quick, stretches the knowledge and imagination at each level of the paragraph. I did run into one glitch which I reported and got a nearly immediate response and a solution. I don't think this app is good for children because it asks for and provides information which I think is more in the range of young and older adults. I would strongly recommend the app for that demographic.

Very good to improve vocabulary.
Good app
Love the app, however, the keyboard hardly ever appears. Would rate as a 5 star if I could get the keyboard to work. I usually have to uninstall and rest all to get it to work. Not good.
Very Thought Provoking!!!
Now you know why your teachers told you to use your context clues!!! Great app!
Mind the gap
A mildly enjoyable distraction
Not as simple as you think
This game will humble you.
Fun to play but doesn't work reliably
I really enjoy playing this game. I like to challenge myself intellectually and this fits the bill. At least, it does when it works right. Many times the keyboard doesn't appear and I have to completely close the program and restart it. I tried reloading the program from the web but that didn't help. I hope they get it fixed because I enjoy playing it, when it works.

Not as advertised
How can it improve one's English and vocabulary when many of the gaps are simple words like "to", "the", "of".
Or peoples first or last names.
Or repeating something childish obvious, for example in the Lincoln story filling in the gap for Lincoln.

Doesn't work on my iPad
Downloaded to my iPad and ran it. Only the text displays; the area for the keyboard does not. So, can't enter answers. Tried rebooting and it didn't help. When I tried "app support", I got a bunch of ads for upcoming games.
