Some of the words are easy while others are more rare and complex. I would like for the developers to add phonetic pronunciation since some words are difficult to pronounce. ### 4/5 — Great, Simple App *2008-12-28* I really don't understand all the bashing of this program. It is simple, easy to use, and is a great way to kill time while waiting in line, bored at work, et cetera. While, it may not carry the luster of a typical iPhone app, it certainly follows the formula that simplicity makes life easier. The app shows a word, has one button to Show/Hide the definition, and then another click gets you to the next word. It's easy to use and could use a few more improvements of course, but I'm satisfied thus far. ### 4/5 — ok *2008-12-28* this is a good app it helped me study might consider more words and maybe other features to help study. :) ### 3/5 — Does what it says. *2008-12-03* Does what it says. However most of the words are more inane than academic. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Okay *2009-03-31, version 0* Should put a serch list at the top ### 1/5 — Ugly bkgrnd *2009-02-01* Really ugly grey background and very east vocab selection. Suitable for 13 and under - all older should avoid it. What a waste of time :( ### 1/5 — Suck: Seemingly not worth the effort *2008-12-30, version 0* If you're an anglophone it's not worth the download time, even if it's free. If i could rate zero, I would. ### 1/5 — Get something better *2008-11-28* Too easy. Not useful for test study. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2008-11-21* I see only a empty wall and a bottom that's all. Big deal ### 2/5 — No *2010-09-19, version 0* No voice! ### 2/5 — Pretty good *2009-02-12* Can you add a hearing feature? I don't even know how to pronous half these words!!! ### 2/5 — So so *2009-02-10* It would be much better if it had examples. ### 2/5 — Too bad *2008-12-30* It needs an Internet connection. ### 3/5 — Good app *2009-04-14* Enjoy this app. Learning new words and refreshing the meanings of words that I know. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Word Selection. Interface very buggy and Buttons are too small *2009-11-03* This app has the entire Barron's GRE wordlist apart from a couple more words. So, the vocabulary available isn't bad as someone else said and certainly not meant for ONLY under 13. But the interface is very buggy. Swiping to change the word is a hit 'n' miss. Many times, it doesn't change the word on swiping and this is annoying. Also, the buttons are tiny. Many times I either changed the word by mistake or pressed on the "tap" button when I was aiming at the little "i" to reveal the other side with the sentence. Also, I noticed that if I tapped the screen on the right side or the left side, the previous word is shown. It should be such that if I tap on the right side, the "next" word is shown, and on tapping the left side, the "previous" word is shown. This is also a hit 'n' miss and many times nothing happens on tapping. So to the Developer: PLEASE improve the interface and remove the inconsistencies. And make the buttons (especially the small "i") larger and easier to press. I like this app a lot and rely on it as well, as it has a *great* word list and features and as it is free, because I can't afford to buy any app (being a student and all). So, please rectify these problems and release an update! ### 5/5 — Best *2009-01-31* I found this app to be very good just to learn a few words ### 5/5 — not bad *2009-01-14* this app is not bad, but it needs to have the words as an example, like in a sentence ### 5/5 — 5 stars to offset previous review *2008-11-23* Empty screen because the program has not start. To start, click "Next Word". This program does what it claims and is free. ### 4/5 — GREAT - Just add one more function. *2010-11-28, version 0* This is a GREAT App for studying GRE words or just using as a dictionary when there is no web access. I would recommend adding a "Favorite" word function. See VocabBuilder App. ### 4/5 — Great application *2010-03-25* I like this application. It is very easy to use and has great interface with very useful functions with good set of words. And it's all FREE ### 4/5 — Great collection of words *2010-03-12* Great collection of words!! And that too absolutely free!! Worth trying. I love it. ### 4/5 — Hmmm *2009-12-12* The word list is good. The interface isn't! Going forward in the word list with each swipe has a <20% chance! I wish there was an option to add notes to words as I try and use imagination to memoriZe words... Also, if anyone finds the other apps expensive, is waiting to buy them later(thanks to the overwhelming amounts of choice) or is just increasing vocabulary for fun, i suggest scrolling the list backwards as tapping the screen moves you to the previous word which will make moving forward easier! ### 4/5 — Nice app *2009-04-11* Useful application. I would give it 5 stars with the following additional feature: - some sort of "add star" feature, that lets you mark words you didn't know and would like to go back to sometime later. Currently there's no way to keep track of words you didn't know and therefore it's hard to test yourself, to see if you learn/remember them Other nice to have features would be: - examples, context... - audio pronounciation - show/filter words by category (noun, verb, adjective...) - ethimology ### 4/5 — Nice app *2009-03-15* Good list of words. Very basic interface. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
