### 4/5 — I recognize many word from Duolingo app,

*2020-03-27*

...this is a fantastic review of words I’m not sure of. The repeating of the set of words helps me retain the meaning...I’m impressed. I just started and am at 2-3....I’m not rushing thru this, I really want to retain words. You can hear the pronunciation. Of the word each time! But you have the option of turning it off. Good luck!

### 4/5 — Fun but I wish it worked VoiceOver better

*2019-09-14*

Cool app, it doesn’t work really well with voiceover. It would also be helpful if the app let you review words and allowed you to see how they are used in sentences.

### 4/5 — Adverts

*2018-12-01, version 2.8.6*

O way to remove adverts on this app, be warned!

### 4/5 — Fun, but...

*2018-06-02*

I really wish there was a way to review words already 'mastered' in game format rather than just looking at the reference list. Even though I master them in the game, there are some words I need more exposure to for them to 'stick'

### 4/5 — Great practice

*2018-05-31*

Works very well. It would be great to be able to add your own custom vocabulary lists.

### 4/5 — I enjoy this... and wish....

*2017-04-12*

...that there was another optional stage where there were sentences made with words you've learned as a secondary reinforcement for learning.  I do really really enjoy this app though.

### 4/5 — Good

*2015-11-27, version 2.8.2*

Very nice, it is Reality well, thanks I help many with my vocabulary and practice every day and all time ;)

### 3/5 — Spanish

*2015-08-12, version 2.8.6*

Estonia is Bueno! This is a great app

### 4/5 — Decent for helping with vocabulary

*2015-07-05*

There's not much to this app, but it's good for reinforcing vocabulary learned from a class or Rosetta.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2015-05-27, version 2.8.2*

Not as immersive as I hoped but still systematic and worthwhile.

### 5/5 — Helpful Resource!

*2015-05-06, version 2.8.2*

This is simply a great way to associate the Spanish words with the English I know.  It trains your brain to recognize them quicker, thus using them more effectively!  

I am very excited to utilize this resource, to help me learn faster.

### 4/5 — Spanish Vocabulary Trainer

*2015-05-05, version 2.8.2*

Quite helpful means of drill on basic vocabulary.

### 5/5 — Fun and different

*2015-04-19*

I enjoy using this practice a couple times a day for refreshing my Spanish.  I only wish for one thing, more! I would pay for this if it had more words or practice styles.  I have used many other apps for my travel Spanish but am enjoying this one very much.

### 5/5 — helps build a foundation of vocabulary

*2015-04-18, version 2.8.2*

muy excelente

### 5/5 — Easy to use and challenging.

*2015-03-30, version 2.8.2*

Love this app!

### 4/5 — Great language tool

*2015-02-19, version 2.8.2*

I've only been using this app for toe weeks but feel it has helped me improve was knowledge of Spanish words. I wish I could go back to the last session to practice more.

### 1/5 — I Try to Finish the Last Test, and it Force Closes!

*2015-05-30, version 2.8.4*

Ok, that's frustrating. I could have finished both sides of Bid Box by now, but it force-closes when I get to the end of 100 - 3. (The Spanish-to-English side.) So much for winning....

### 1/5 — Stupid app just came on and woke the baby!!

*2013-12-13, version 2.6.2*

This was one of my favorite apps but the damned thing just popped on playing loud music and woke the baby so I deleted it!! You had no right forcing a reminder like that!! If u want to reach me - send me an email and wait til it's convenient for me!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Conjugation Errors

*2013-10-20, version 2.6*

The app is a bit confusing, and I speak Spanish! Often three English words (ex: she will go) is one Spanish word. The app isn't clear on tense or conjugation. It should say "to speak = hablar" rather than "speak = hablar". It also gives just one English meaning when there may several based on context ("su" is listed as "he", but it could also be his, your, etc).

### 1/5 — Falla

*2013-09-28, version 2.6*

El juego falla en la ruleta

### 1/5 — Silly

*2013-03-31, version 2.2*

The spanish words on the wheel are so tiny, and gray, they are barely legible. There's no logic to this game relative to learning a language, although you could say it's mildly entertaining. Try a more robust app that let's you practice in several different ways: reading, writing, listening, speaking.

### 1/5 — Trivial ... Utterly without educational or linguistic value

*2013-03-21, version 2.2*

At best, this game may teach you to move your fingers faster, but it's utterly worthless for education. It won't help you learn Spanish!

This has been a low-cost game for ages, and my excoriating review has always been rated the most helpful. Now its developers have created this free version with Game Center integration. They intend to get you to pay for an upgrade after you install this free version. See the list of rave reviews, all of which appeared in a few days after the app's release? Do you smell what I smell?

### 1/5 — Teacher

*2011-09-18, version 2.0*

There are some problems with how the sentences and vocabulary line up on these questions. "Does he like work?" cannot be translated as "Hacer el gustar trabajo?". The verbs need to be conjugated, and you can't translate everything between 2 languages word for word.  This foreign language teacher says don't spend your study time on this app.

### 2/5 — Mediocre

*2016-11-07*

Extremely basic, poor interface.

### 3/5 — Brain agility or learning Spanish?

*2017-09-24*

This may be good training for one's brain, be it memory, reaction and visual recognition (not necessarily in that order) but whether this actually helps to learn Spanish may be debatable. It would be useful if the company offers some data in support of the learning-Spanish claim / intent.

### 3/5 — Good but for adverts & pop-up share

*2016-08-11*

I like this app but I wish I could buy is without advertisement banners. Also I don't want to tweet or share my progress, how can I turn this off so it doesn't pop up every five minutes.

### 5/5 — Sencilla y práctica

*2025-07-21, version 2.8.6*

Una manera fácil e intuitiva de aprender nuevas palabras.
Es tipo juego de repetición y elección simple, rápido y sencillo lo que ayuda a que se te queden las cosas.
Me está ayudando mucho a ampliar mi vocabulario de inglés.
100% recomiendo

### 5/5 — Useful for vocabulary

*2020-11-15*

This app is good for learning vocabulary because it repeats vocabulary, you can go back in the lessons, and you can see the full vocabulary list up to where you are.  And there are no gimmicks!

### 5/5 — Magic

*2020-06-10, version 2.8.6*

Been buying language apps for two years now this is by far the best for learning new words also the most enjoyable hours of fun and addictive

### 5/5 — Spanish Vocabulary

*2019-01-20*

This is a great app to practice and memorize vocabulary!

### 5/5 — Fun and different way to learn

*2018-05-15*

A new and different way to reinforce words. I really like it

### 5/5 — Fun way to do lists of vocabulary and increase it!

*2017-01-15*

Hate lists. This is a fun way to learn more words. Do the practice area first then the game. It doesn't take much time but you'd be amazed how much fun it can be. Wish it could make my own list of hard words personally to learn within this app. But take it as it comes, it is great.

### 5/5 — Fun way to learn Spanish

*2016-05-27*

This app is a must have to learn new Spanish vocabulary.  I use this app to add to my Spanish class.

### 5/5 — THANK YOU!!!

*2016-04-19*

I LOVE THIS!! Do u know how long I have been looking for something effective to help me with my Spanish??? Thank you so much this is exactly what I need. No more stumbling around while searching my memory for the correct word! This gets the words firmly in my mind.  I like this even better than duolingo. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Great Supplement

*2015-10-19*

Great addition to classes, especially for enhancing your ability to think quickly for the word you want to use.

### 5/5 — Awesome ap
