Along with the fonts already installed on your device, Vocab Pro includes several other great unicode fonts: 
* Cardo 
* Gentium Plus 
* Andika

* Ezra SIL 
* Scheherazade

Vocab Pro uses the popular ProVoc file format. ProVoc is a sensational Mac application for vocabulary learning available for free. You can also add new words, edit words and record audio inside this app. If you wish to edit the file more fully, use ProVoc on your Mac through which you can easily create and edit all the files you need to use with Vocab Pro on your device.

Vocab Pro will also play audio that is associated with your word (but other media, such as images, are not supported).

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2017-07-26, version 2.60*

I'm learning Greek and this is exactly the app I needed to help.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-02-06, version 1.4.1*

Invaluable to me for memorising vocab!

### 1/5 — big problem

*2013-11-25*

I paid for the unlock, but it doesn't work.  And my email to the developer website bounced.  Too bad, if it would unlock, it would be a useful program and I would give it 4 stars.  The comment field needs a swap in the settings so that you can set them to appear with the second field if you choose.

### 1/5 — Program doesn't work

*2013-11-11*

When I am given the choice to select language it freezes. I have never been able to use.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2012-03-11, version 1.1*

So easy to use for my greek and hebrew classes. So many vocab files from provoc, i only need 1 app for all my languages. I can even create my own word lists in provoc and then upload them to this app :)
