Too glitchy

Frustrating esp after investing time & words.

Bad Update

Please fix this. I was willing to forgive some of the weird navigation issues and the random crashes because the app had one feature I genuinely loved—it let me save new vocab words, which I could then study and learn. Now, that feature has been removed, and I can’t access my full list of words on the app. If I wanted to simply look up words, I’d choose an app with smoother functionality.

Good but could use some improvements

I enjoy this app and learning new words at the tip of my fingers however it won’t always let me add new words to my list and doesn’t not store all of the words I’ve mastered since using the app.
