Widget isn’t working

I just got the app and it’s great so far, but the widgets on home screen isn’t working ? It’s just showing a white screen, i’ve tried changing the theme of the widget multiple times but the white background won’t change. I can’t see the words either. Any way I can fix this?

Made up words

Koenig’s made up words ruin this. How about just include real English words? There are plenty. Instead I have to check each word to see if I can actually use it or if it’s one of Koenig’s fictional words. Not to knock Koenig or his work, but I don’t want it incorporated into an app that’s supposed to increase my English vocabulary.

Waste of time to find out it’s $25/mo

Bait & switch deception on pricing

Wanted to like it

Really don’t like how when trying to set up the widget on your Home Screen the example word the app showed ā€œPigs. n. Police officersā€ā€¦.

Subscription

I think this app is a very good app, but I also believe that they withhold too much from learn learners without a subscription, I can’t even look at my history or change the theme without having to be reminded to pay twenty dollars, I believe if this changes this will be a great app and I will share it with other, as of the moment though I don’t fully recommend.

Not worth it

Firstly, I never got the notification asking if I wanted to proceed after the free trial, was just charged. Decided to give it a go rather than complain. Subsequent to that, they have reduced the amount of things you have access to unless you upgrade to a more expensive plan. So what I’ve paid for is not what I was told I would be getting. Rubbish. Will NOT be renewing.

Updating here as the link to contact you doesn’t work.
It may be that the notifications were not enabled, I’m not sure. I would have expected an email.
With regard to the forthcoming updates, I hope they include restoring the features I signed up for. Otherwise, it’s like allowing someone to buy a loaf of bread and when they walk out the shop you go and take half of it back.

Response from developer

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We're sorry this was your experience. Regarding the trial reminder, could you please check whether notifications were enabled for the app on your device? We'd genuinely like to understand what happened here. We also understand why the recent changes were frustrating. We're currently preparing a major update and have been reworking parts of the app as part of that process. We know it's disappointing when features change after you've already signed up, and we're working hard to make sure the upcoming updates bring much more value to the experience. Thank you for being honest with us. Feedback like this helps us build a better app, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it.

App is stuck on a page with only the logo

I did the little questionnaire thing, and when faced with the choice to subscribe, I hit the ā€œXā€ in the corner. Now I just see a big ā€œVā€ logo on an otherwise black screen. I closed and reopened the app; same thing.

relevant vocabulary choice

Didn’t think I’d stick with a vocab app, but this one is different. It’s simple and the words feel relevant.

discovering new words

This app made me realize how many cool words exist that I’ve never heard before. Petrichor was one of them and now I notice that smell every time it rains.

Response from developer

Love this, thank you! Petrichor is such a good one — and yeah, once you know it, you can’t un-notice it! Really glad the words are sticking with you like that. That’s the best part

Great vocabulary builder

Really useful vocabulary builder. I like learning a few new words every day without feeling overwhelmed. Great for improving English step by step.

Really useful app

The daily word notifications are actually useful, i learn 2-3 new words a day without it feeling like studying. The curated lists for GRE prep are solid too. Only wish i could customize the notification times more easily, but overall a great app

Easy to stick with

Started using it without any real plan, just wanted to improve vocabulary a bit. What I like is that it doesn’t pressure you, just jump in for a minute and still feel like you did something useful.
Some words repeat more than I’d like, but at the same time it probably helps memorizing. I catch myself recognizing words I learned here in real life, which is a good sign

at least im trying lol

I’ve been waiting to improve my vocabulary for a while but I literally don’t read at all so yeah šŸ˜…
this felt like an easier way to at least do something instead of nothing
Also the design is actually nice like it doesnt feel boring or heavy so I don’t mind opening it. Not say it’s gonna magically fix my English lol but at least im trying a bit ✨

Vocabulary issue

Many of these words no longer exist or are rarely used; they are no longer part of modern English, so this list isn't useful for learning everyday vocabulary

A must-have for word lovers

I’ve tried plenty of vocabulary apps over the years, but this one stands the most. Each word comes with a clear definition, example sentences, and even audio pronunciation, which is a huge help for non-native speakers. My vocabulary has noticeably expanded in just two months of consistent use. Highly recommend.
