### 1/5 — Adverts hide everything

*2026-07-18, version 1.2.21*

How do you stop the advert games that pop up? That takes longer than the word of the day. No X to get rid of whole screen?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-10, version 1.2.21*

The app hasn’t generated a new word since I installed it.

### 2/5 — Not as expected

*2025-12-04, version 1.2.21*

Great idea, but problems. More of a phrase than word of the day, but the biggest problem is it sounds like somebody is speaking like he has a mouthful of marbles. No point in this.

### 4/5 — Vocabulary:

*2024-08-31, version 1.2.11*

Really enjoy this free Spanish Word App which generates a new random word daily.
I use it daily. The calendar of words for review is an handy feature.

### 5/5 — Learning Spanish

*2024-07-08, version 1.2.11*

Love how it puts the word of a day in a sentence and it gives a picture of the word.  Great way to learn

### 1/5 — Incorrect word!

*2023-10-17, version 1.2.9*

Negro is  not “blue.” Check the el telefono page.

### 5/5 — Really awesome

*2023-09-22, version 1.2.8*

Love this app

### 3/5 — Fast speaking.

*2023-06-11, version 1.2.5*

The speaking is much too fast for me to follow. There should be a speed control, so I can hear the words accurately.

### 1/5 — Stinks

*2023-01-14, version 1.2.4*

Filled with advertising and on the third day no new word. Don’t waste your money.

### 5/5 — so amazing

*2023-01-01, version 1.2.4*

very helpful !
