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.
