### 1/5 — awful

*2023-09-03, version 1.5*

i absolutely despise this app, the fact that if you make even the smallest mistake on one word you have to start the entire block again is incredibly frustrating. the people assigning the work have absolutely no idea how long this takes and how insanely dull it is. this has literally made me hate languages and resent my teacher alongside feeling dread every time I see homework set on here.

### 1/5 — I HATE IT

*2023-03-03, version 1.5*

whenever i play vocab express i accidently tap on the launch learning and im stuck in it and then i cant get out of it! Even if i put the acent the wrong way its wrong!!!!😡😡😡༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ

### 1/5 — Terrible wouldn’t recommend

*2022-11-26, version 1.5*

A frustrating app that never ceases to ruin my day every single time I’ve logged on with its slow loading and irritating method of memorisation. With any other app like Seneca it is fine to complete work on there however with vocab express it can take upward of an hour due to the constant resets and technical issues. When deleted I will give 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2022-02-03, version 1.5*

Worst app in history

### 1/5 — Spelling and typing words by accident and pressing ‘ok’

*2021-10-06, version 1.5*

When I accidentally put the wrong spelling, I tend to click ok and I get it wrong, and I’m getting mad about it. So I want 2 try’s every task/question.

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-09-10, version 1.5*

Easy for me to do before school on my phone so I don’t get into trouble :)

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-05-07, version 1.5*

1 question wrong means boom, restart

### 1/5 — A disgusting site and app

*2021-03-05, version 1.5*

This is a horrific site and app that has an awful system. It is extremely unfair and will penalise you by forcing you to do an entire test again if you make so much as a spelling error.

Also, the app is abysmally formatted and is básica useless for an iPad, as you are forced into portrait mode. It also looks disgusting.

### 1/5 — This app isn’t even worth one star

*2020-12-03, version 1.5*

The irritation of having TO RESTART THE WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT ONE THING WRONG IS NOT IT. Do not get this app, if your teacher makes you, tell her to kindly jog on.

### 1/5 — Irritating

*2020-03-20, version 1.5*

Its a good way to do your homework on your phone quickly however its very irritating that if you get one letter or word wrong or forget the accent on the letter you have to do the entire thing again and again which is enough to annoy anyone
