It is a little bit annoying. ### 3/5 — Spelling *2021-04-24, version 1.2* 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. ### 4/5 — REVIEW *2017-04-16, version 1.2* Great app for every level of knowledge of english! ### 5/5 — Gostei muito *2017-03-18, version 1.2* Serve pra quem já tem noção do idioma se aprimorar em vocabulário e gramática. Muito bom. ### 5/5 — 영어공부하기 좋은 앱 *2016-11-15* 읽기 쓰기 초보자들에게 좋은 영어공부앱. 마음에 들어요 Like it very mush. So useful and good for practice reading and writing. 딱 한가지 단점은. 이 앱과 음악을 동시에 들을 수 없다는 겁니다. One thing. I wanna listen to the music while I use this :( ### 5/5 — Addictive & informative *2016-10-29, version 1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Soni *2016-08-20, version 1.2* Very good to improve vocabulary. ### 4/5 — Superb mind the gap *2016-08-05* It's very interesting.. ### 5/5 — Well-built app *2016-08-02* Like it. ### 3/5 — Good app *2016-07-31, version 1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Teilweise knifflig.. *2016-07-23* ..aber sehr gut! ### 5/5 — Very Thought Provoking!!! *2016-07-03, version 1.2* Now you know why your teachers told you to use your context clues!!! Great app! ### 3/5 — Mind the gap *2016-07-02, version 1.2* A mildly enjoyable distraction ### 5/5 — Nice app *2016-07-01* According to what has been written about the app by others I would like to recommend this app as well! Download it - you won't regret it, it will help to keep or improve your EN skills :) ### 5/5 — Not as simple as you think *2016-06-29, version 1.2* This game will humble you. ### 4/5 — Fun to play but doesn't work reliably *2016-06-27, version 1.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Not as advertised *2016-06-26, version 1.2* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy or what?! *2021-04-24, version 1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Nothing too exciting *2021-04-23, version 1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on my iPad *2016-06-26, version 1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Gute Idee mit großem Fehler *2016-03-28* Leider funktioniert die Tastatur nicht richtig. Viele Buchstaben lassen sich nur schwer eingeben, weil immer zwei ausgewählt werden. Das ist einfach lästig! Solange das nicht behoben wird, ist die App beinahe unbrauchbar. ### 1/5 — Don't Buy...YET *2015-03-14, version 1.1* I played without any problems the first time I opened this and liked it a lot. However, the second time I had the keyboard problem that so many people are referring to in these reviews. Hope it's fixed soon. I'll be delighted to provide a good review at that time. I'm using a new and updated iPhone. ### 1/5 — Quits on iOS 6.1.3 *2014-12-17, version 1.1* Review by Starshooter has it right - I wasn't able to play it, but it looks great :(. I had to delete it because it would force close a few seconds after opening, every time. Lasts long enough to see the menu screen with categories. This is a first for me... I've never had this problem with any other app (& I've had 100's!). Restarting device did not help. I would love the chance to try the game. Please fix, and I'll revise my rating! Still using iOS 6.1.3 on an iPod 5 ### 1/5 — So Sad!! *2014-12-14, version 1.1* Would love to play, but it keeps crashing. I can USUALLY pick a category, then when I pick a Topic, it closes!! Please fix!! Will readjust rating if and when fixed! ### 1/5 — Crashes and unstable - do not recommend for older devices such as iPod 4g *2014-12-14, version 1.1* Cant do anything because the application crashes the moment the game starts ### 1/5 — Poor *2014-12-13* Poor no use if our guesses are wrong then this app shuould correct us totally waste ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2014-12-13, version 1.1* Game keeps crashing please fix it I would love to play it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good clean fun *2024-07-15, version 1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Word Nerd Heaven! *2021-04-23, version 1.2* 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. --Chicago Blue ### 5/5 — Delightfully different approach to word play *2018-12-01, version 1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-12-07* This is an amazing app! ### 5/5 — 굿 *2017-08-15* 대변보면서 영어공부 ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2017-07-05, version 1.2* Really fun, no pesky timer, but challenging. Necessary to pay careful attention to spelling and verb tenses. ### 5/5 — Awesome learning app *2017-06-08* Love the idea. Love the implementation. Do add more texts in the future. ### 5/5 — Simple, smart and satisfying! *2017-06-06, version 1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Learning and fun at the same time *2017-05-26, version 1.2* Just hard enough to make you think but not hard enough to make you give up ### 5/5 — Einfach super *2017-04-22* Meine Tochter (15) ist die ewige Lernerei in der Schule überdrüssig. Aber dies hier macht sie regelmäßig gern. Mir, der Mutter mit schlechtem Englisch macht es auch Spaß. Was will man mehr. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
