Coming from me

The App is great has many levels and words I’ve never seen or heard before. Also excellent for state testing and it’s all free. I love it just like this! ❤️

Exactly what I needed

I need a lot of improvement in my vocabulary and this has been so helpful in explaining the definition and they bring up the word a few times even after getting it right to make sure you actually learned the meaning
