## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The gambling ads is very inappropriate!

*2018-06-12, version 4.1.1*

Can’t understand the ads is on an educational app and it keeps flashing can’t be closed at all! Very Bad!

### 1/5 — Distracting Google Add

*2018-06-10, version 4.1.1*

I installed this app to help my son with creative wiring for 11+.  Unfortunately on my first use I got so distracted by the flashy google ads at the bottom that I deleted it within 15 min and would never allow my kids to use it.  One of the ads was for a gambling type app which is totally inappropriate for an educational app.  Might be a good app but defeats its purpose by the unnecessary distractions.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2018-04-22*

This app does not work. I am always presented with just a black screen. Fix it or get rid of it

### 4/5 — Simple But Not Bad

*2016-10-11, version 3.1.2*

Good for very basic writing and reference. It might be of some help to young students. It would be an improvement if there was a definition of the word in addition to a sentence that gives an example of the meaning. Maybe there will be updates to include more content in the future. By the way, the developer has another app called Prang, which I find to be a very good idea. Check it out. And thanks!

### 5/5 — Brilliant !!!

### 5/5 — So good!

Definitely recommend!! It Helped me so much with my creative writing during my GCSE’s!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-11-23, version 4.1.1*

I'm looking for some useful app to help my children's literacy writing.
This app offered a lot. I personally think the word bank is really helpful.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2017-05-31, version 4.1.1*

Extremely helpful as it has everything you would ever need to know for your English GCSE, but is very very quick and easy to use

### 5/5 — Fantabulous!

*2017-04-06, version 4.1.1*

This app has been a fantastic asset to helping me with my descriptive writing skills for Cambridge IGCSE. The app has a comprehensive, non-exhaustive list of powerful vocabulary, and exemplar short story entries. In addition, the app gives plenty of advice for fiction and non-fiction writing, teaching you the quintessential skills for effective and successful writing. For those doing KS3 and GCSE English, I would highly recommended this app to support your study and revision!

### 5/5 — Survival for writers

*2015-11-26, version 2.1.1*

It gives you plenty of information and keeps you motivated.
