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

Efficient Vocabulary study

My favorite Vocabulary app.

More better than good can be some times

Yea dude

Dumb

This app kinda sucks. It’s the only vocab app I’ve found so far where I don’t have to pay for a subscription but it’s not as good as the other ones. The definitions aren’t very clear. It just shows you a synonym and then uses it in a sentence. I wish there was an actual definition under it. It would make learning them so much easier

Good for everyone

I personally believe this app will help all every people build up and retain their vocabulary. I am being sincere when saying this app has helped expand my roster of words, and I don’t feel like in some conversation.

One word answers and multiple correct answers

There are one-word descriptions of words. You can’t possibly accurately describe every word doing this. The definitions/answers need to be more elaborate and concise with more words.

Also, lot of these words seem like have more than one answer because the word is multifaceted. It’s like some of these are “trick questions.”

Some of the words don’t even have the most popular correct definition within the answers. Like the word “resolve” for example. The most popular definition of this word is to provide a solution or ending to something. There was no answer like this, so I felt like the answer “rewrite” was the most accurate to the most popular definition. I then see that the correct answer is to make a decision. Which I guess technically would be correct, but it’s a far less used definition of the word. It makes it feel as if this app was developed by foreign person that doesn’t fully understand English. Why wouldn’t you just include the most popular definition and not include trick words that are too close to that?

Easy to use
Fascinating

This is Amazing

Its surprisingly affective, i complete a level, then come back to it a while later expecting to have forgotten everything but find that i still remember jt all.

Helpful

It helped me improve my vocabulary

This app is 6 years old and it’s out dated

Like with Chat they definitely can write a better iOS app. Some of the sounding for flash cards does not work.

Strengthen vocabulary

This app is really good for vocabulary building and review.

Miss information

Some of the vocab words seem to be mislabeled, incorrectly defined, or have multiple meanings that could make more than one answer correct. It would be helpful if there were a “all of the above” option or a way to accept multiple answers as correct. It’s frustrating to get answers incorrectly when the answer selected can also be correct. This can make the experience very obnoxious, and is somewhat misleading.

Limited benefits

This app is a great refresher for native English speakers who want to expand or polish their vocabulary. The interface is simple, engaging, and effective for reinforcing word meanings.

However, I would be cautious about recommending it to people who are learning English as a second language or who lack confidence in their language skills. Throughout the exercises, the app often presents a single word and asks users to select the correct meaning from multiple options. The problem is that many English words have multiple legitimate meanings depending on the context in which they are used.

For example, the word “resolve” can mean to determine or decide, which is the answer accepted by the app, but it can also mean to solve a problem or dispute. Without a sentence or contextual clue, several answer choices may appear equally correct. This can create confusion and potentially reinforce the idea that alternative valid meanings are incorrect.

The app works well as a vocabulary refresher when you already have a solid grasp of English, but learners may benefit more from a platform that teaches words within sentences and real-world contexts rather than relying solely on isolated definitions.

Its really helpful to learn new vocabulary

No updates

This app has a lot of potential but gets no updates. Some words definitions also need revision. Overall with some work it could be a great app.

A very cool app

The design is very simple. The words presented ARE indeed the ones people struggle with. The review practice is cool, too

Laudable learning tool

I’m always looking to improve my vocabulary, even if it’s just to use extremely specific, fancy-sounding words on academic papers. This is an excellent tool; plus, there are no ads (at least that I’ve seen) which is a rarity for any app today, so I felt compelled to give my endorsement. Thank y’all for making this app and keeping it simple!

Good

It’s good but I wish that it gave you actual definitions and not only examples because I REALLY need to improve my vocabulary. So…. 3 stars

Actually Free

This has been helpful for me even starting at high school level, and I have my Masters 😂

Highly recommend!
