This app is abandoned by its dev team, sadly. The concept is brilliant, and for half an hour that it worked I enjoyed it. Then all the words disappeared. I was thinking about getting a paid version. But since the free tier is so obviously broken, I will not.

Shady

The “free version” is an absolutely useless trial that gives no indication on the quality of the app. Only way to find out how functional the app is? Buy the subscription.
I wish Apple would block obvious marketing ploys that only strive to gain money by those who would forget to cancel…

Nothing in this app

I subscribed to a month of premium but still nothing but the vowel wheel shows up. I can not click on the tests or look up a word. It’s just empty and nothing happens .

DSDon’t buy this sht

Terrible and expensive

I don’t recommend it, for an application that has multiple errors and with very few functions it is too expensive.
