Vocab

Vocab helps me learn. And over the years I am doing 6th grade words and getting them right even though I am in the 3rd grade! It is cool (▼⌣▼)

Vocabulary Boost

This app allows me to ameliorate my vocabulary

Technical difficulties

It’s so frustrating to try to get so many of the things in this app to work. When I try to click the “start learning this list”, it doesn’t do anything. When I click “start learning this word” it just tells me it was unable to add the word. I kept trying to re-set my password and the “ forgot my password” button wasn’t working for about the first ten times I clicked it, then when it finally worked and said it sent me the reset password email, I saw nothing in my inbox or spam folder, even after re-sending it. The vocab learning is nice when you get into it, but the mobile version is subpar at best

Cannot Sing Up

Although have lot’s of bad reviews, tried to give it a try. Cannot fill the age of birth at this stage, no option to fill in, just stuck at current date.
Don’t see any sense trying to use, since has problem at literally second page after opening app.

Almost a great learning tool

The learning feature of this app is strongly undermined by the fact that a lot of words don’t give the option to “start learning”. Very frustrating each time this happens which is frequently
