### 4/5 — Wow

*2026-06-02, version 1.3.2*

If you enjoying reading the dictionary and thesaurus, leafing through encyclopedias and have a dictionary app saved in your favorites or any combination of the above, then you may just enjoy this new ‘game’ I found. UNFORTUNATELY, after 2 levels you must Pay 1.99 to continue.

### 4/5 — Great, but

*2025-03-12, version 1.3.2*

Need game instructions I can go to repeatedly. I skip months then need to learn games again. Re: Hidden Letter

### 5/5 — Word lover

*2025-01-07, version 1.3.2*

The best app ever for improving vocabulary and thoughtful design  enables review of missed words. Wish MW would come out w/  a new version.

### 5/5 — Educational

*2024-12-16, version 1.3.2*

I am a nerd and love to learn. This helps to remind me of words and teach me words. It’s phenomenal!

### 5/5 — Challenges My Mind

*2024-10-17, version 1.3.2*

I enjoy good challenges. This game challenges me to think quickly, and respond in kind. Thank you for this game.

### 2/5 — please make the timer adjustable

*2024-08-26, version 1.3.2*

Dear Quizzitive, Please consider making the timers ⏲️ adjustable. Using your app makes me feel hurried and i don’t see any advantage to that. Otherwise it’s a useful product.

### 5/5 — Interesting       I  have really enjoyed playing these games

*2024-08-01, version 1.3.2*

Some are challenging , but I’ve managed to get to the next levels.

### 5/5 — Word lovers!

*2024-07-28, version 1.3.2*

Fun, quick word games.  If I have to stop for a while, the game picks up where I left off.  The games laid quickly and keep track of progress.

### 5/5 — Expand on this please!

*2024-05-26, version 1.3.2*

Excellent app. More games would be appreciated. Completely enjoy these so far though.

### 5/5 — Remarkable

*2024-01-14, version 1.3.2*

As English is my second language, this app has been challenging but remarkable, fun, and revolutionary for improving my vocabulary. I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Super User Friendly

*2023-12-20, version 1.3.2*

Love the challenge, the clear images, and the ease to play all of the games.

### 5/5 — Well done and engaging

*2023-11-12, version 1.3.2*

An excellent app that is very well done, engaging, and educational. You can’t help but learn while having fun. What could be better?!

### 5/5 — My Favorite App

*2023-10-29, version 1.3.2*

Learning vocabulary words with this app is fun and it works! I hope it will continue to be updated to include sentences using the vocabulary words. Absolutely fantastic

### 3/5 — Pronounce the words

*2023-10-09, version 1.3.2*

I wish it would pronounce the words.

### 4/5 — Great, wish it tracked cumulative stats

*2023-10-06, version 1.3.2*

Great way to test one’s vocabulary and pick up some new words along the way. Percentile scores are given for each quiz individually.. I wish there was a cumulative ranking to track progress with. Also, wish there was a module that included the words from all 10 modules.

### 5/5 — Pushpa Pai

*2023-08-09, version 1.3.2*

Love this app. It challenges my English language skills in a good way!

### 5/5 — Fun yet educational

*2023-07-21, version 1.3.2*

This game is unlike any game I’ve ever played. It is fun and educational at the same time and very addictive

### 5/5 — Fun but could use definitions feature

*2023-05-31, version 1.3.2*

fun word game even for adults. I’ve had it for 1-2 weeks and already recommended it to 4 friends 

My only wish is the app had actual definitions of the words during Review.

### 1/5 — “deft” level 1

*2025-02-14, version 1.3.2*

deft kelimesi örnek cümlede kullanılmamış…

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-11-12, version 1.3.2*

Bad app

### 1/5 — Ad Free: With Ads!

*2021-10-22, version 1.3.2*

Pay $9.99 for an ad free experience - still get flashing ads under every game page. 

Weak sauce. Do not recommend. Designers get rekt.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t pause when ads play

*2021-06-18, version 1.3.2*

The game timer keeps going when the ads play and so after the ad it says times up

### 1/5 — Won’t function

*2021-01-27, version 1.3.2*

Having ads is one thing but having so many ads that won’t load and interfere with app’s functionality is other. There are obtrusive ads that won’t let you complete a drill. I am uninstalling it.

### 1/5 — 2 stars for the first two levels!

*2019-10-26, version 1.3.2*

So looks like this will never be updated. I complained about paying $1.99 for 10 levels, though it’s a good app. But that was years ago. Doesn’t seem like adding new content would be that hard.

### 1/5 — Random Events

*2019-02-03, version 1.3.2*

This is a great app when it doesn’t crash for some reason and doesn’t break into a video ad in the middle of a game making selection of an answer impossible. Fix these issues and you have something worthy of attention.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2018-10-21, version 1.3.2*

Can’t get through any of the quizzes without 800 ads popping up therefore impeding my progress and giving me an unfair advantage, I’d like to actually play the game and not have to exit an ad every 2 seconds or less

### 1/5 — Developers Must Fix!

*2018-04-23, version 1.3.2*

This is a great game. My 10 year old son and I have been playing it together and learning new words. It’s super fun.

Today while playing, ads started popping up constantly during the game play which distracted me and the timer was still counting. I lost a few because of the ads. Then when I got an answer right it counted it as wrong. All other games I play have ads between levels or offer something in return of watching one. Perhaps the developers will adopt this instead of annoying their players.

### 1/5 — Are you kidding?!

*2018-01-03, version 1.3.2*

I am happy to say that I have an above average vocabulary and am a proud owner of a master's in science. But I'm definitely too stupid for this. Even as a group, we cannot make any progress. The very first word was twelve letters and something I'd never seen before, and I'm an avid reader. You can't learn anything if you are desperately scrambling to figure out a Latin word in fifteen seconds. Well, all it took was fifteen seconds for me to realize this is not an app for learning. It's an app that feels like taking the SAT's only with a few seconds to guess. Good luck to all who attempt this. You'll need it.
