An app like this not having a free option is unbelievable greed. No one is paying for this. ### 1/5 — payment required - Useless app *2026-07-28* You cannot do anything on this app without paying. It had two or three demo words and then everything else is behind a pay wall. I saw an advert for this app which focused on the widget feature on the lock screen. This is not a free feature. The app requires a £2.99 subscription fee for any functionality, which is an awfully expensive considering that it is just a glorified dictionary and there are much cheaper/free options available. ### 5/5 — great for moms *2026-07-27* i’m a new mom in america from hongkong and didn’t know many new english words. it’s been nice to use this while my kids are at soccer practice **Developer response:** Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it :) ### 2/5 — Great Idea *2026-07-23* Stumbled upon this app through an ad online, thought it was a fantastic idea and started to get into it, thought it could really help me push myself, and learn new things.. Although, after it lead me to believe it was free, a pop-up appeared with the subscription price which I won’t go forward with. Such a shame as it seems a fantastic concept. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-23* Good idea but locking absolutely everything behind pay wall😔 ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-07-22* The app makes it seem like it’s free, I’m not paying for this, at least have a free option ### 1/5 — Like the others say *2026-07-18* “Free version” is not actually available. Even if you can’t X out of the paywall, the widget will only have an ad for the paid subscription instead of words. ### 1/5 — Extremely aggressive paywalling *2026-07-17* Pressing the “X” during the first-open-experience doesn’t get you to the app, it gives a discount advertisement. Not even remotely worth a subscription. ### 1/5 — It's paid app mascarading as free *2026-07-16* 2.99-4.99 a month. Hate when apple allows this ### 1/5 — Why would I pay a monthly subscription for this?! *2026-07-15* Cute idea, really liked the look of it. But a monthly subscription for the definition of a word on my Lock Screen? GURL. ## Frequently asked questions about Professor Pip ### How does Professor Pip teach new words?
