## Newest reviews (3 of 23)

### 3/5 — Words (palabras) need to be words we would use daily

*2021-09-20, version 1.1.8*

For instance Bats are not an everyday useful word

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2021-04-02, version 1.1.4*

The word of the day is good but it seems to use a limited number of words. Needs to add more vocabulary especially during the exercises. App has potential!

### 3/5 — Hm

*2020-07-26, version 1.0.1*

I like it but it has a lot of glitches. It clicks out of the app after like few seconds.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Incorrect word!

*2023-10-17, version 1.2.9*

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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Same word every day

*2022-09-28, version 1.2.2*

It’s kinda funny but I get Diente (tooth) every single day I’ve never gotten another word😭

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2022-01-19, version 1.2*

Every time I open the app it gets stuck on the loading page. I have deleted and redownloaded and the problem persist so :(

### 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.

### 2/5 — Was great until recently

*2022-09-18, version 1.2.2*

The app used to send push notifications with the word and definition, which allowed users to passively learn Spanish and reinforce their vocabulary. It now sends a notification everyday telling the user to click to see the word. While the app still has many useful learning features when you do click it, the push notification was my main use for the app. I will be uninstalling and replacing the app now.

### 2/5 — Needs a difficulty setting

*2021-01-23, version 1.1.4*

Good for absolute beginners, but not useful for anything more advanced.

### 2/5 — Ads!

*2020-06-25, version 1.0.1*

I understand the need for ads..... but maybe just a few less?

### 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

### 5/5 — Really awesome

*2023-09-22, version 1.2.8*

Love this app

### 5/5 — so amazing

*2023-01-01, version 1.2.4*

very helpful !

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-01-06, version 1.2*

This is a delightful app! It’s exactly what it needs to be and nothing more. I always use the word finds as a little treat after completing my Spanish lesson on Duolingo. The one thing I’d like to suggest is that you should let people remove the system popups without restarting the puzzle. Every time I complete the word find the “restart” popup blocks my view. I just want to sit in the feeling of accomplishment and look at my competed word find.

Update: Thank you all for listening! I just got to enjoy the confetti covered success of completing your word find. 10 stars!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-10-21, version 1.1.10*

Excellent app for Spanish

### 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.

### 4/5 — Crossword

*2022-07-23, version 1.2.2*

I wish the crossword would provide the English translation after completing the puzzle instead of having to look them up myself.

### 4/5 — Great but the recordings should be slower speech.

*2021-09-22, version 1.1.8*

The recordings are too fast but otherwise it’s pretty good and I like the different phrases to choose from.

### 4/5 — What I was looking for

*2020-04-08*

I only spent 20 minutes with this app, and purchased it.  I said to myself after I left a vacation in Mexico last year, I would love to just learn a Spanish word a day.  I am tired of COVID 19 news, so app is set to be a great distraction.  I am not seeking to be fluent in the language, just have a better grasp of it to make basic communication easier.  I think this app can help me.

### 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.
