## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-31*

Terrible, there’s nothing you can do without paying 2.99 a month. 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Fully Paywalled

*2026-07-03*

Word for word copy of the Vocabulary app, but the paywall is impassible. Not sure if that’s intended, but when I tried to X out of the paywall it only threw up a deal repeatedly. Just get Vocabulary

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear about your experience. We allow users to close the paywall to experience the free version of the app with thousands of words. We'll look into it🕵

### 1/5 — Requires a subscription to do anything on the app

*2026-06-21*

The app opens with a onboarding process, but before it even teaches you a word you have to sign up for the subscription. I’d understand if the subscription gave access to more advance features, like maybe without it you only get one word a day, but to have the whole app completely paywalled is ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Hello! If you click the "X" in the top left of the paywall it will take you to the main app experience where you can learn 30 words a day completely free. You can also use the lockscreen widget this way. Happy learning!!

### 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 :)

### 4/5 — Free version

*2026-06-29*

Seems too good to be true. I’ve been using just the free version for an hour now and there are no ads, easy format and great words

### 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.

### 2/5 — Not worth a $7 monthly subscription!

*2026-07-14*

Developer should consider whether $60 a year is a reasonable price for what is essentially a widget showing on your lockscreen.
