It does have many pre made lists you can use, but it no longer serves my needs, unfortunately. I will say that the team was very helpful in conveying this information and helping me understand that this functionality is no longer available on the app and is only available on the web browser. ### 2/5 — Vocab *2026-07-20, version 1.0.2* 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 (▼⌣▼) ### 2/5 — Technical difficulties *2026-06-27, version 1.0.2* 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 ### 3/5 — Almost a great learning tool *2026-06-23, version 1.0.2* 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 ### 4/5 — Great and challenging *2026-06-19, version 1.0.2* Has great vocabulary included and is always challenging for all the people who really want to learn on a harder level. I’d say it’s more for experienced people than beginners but it really helps you strengthen your mind and excel at vocabulary, and it also provides great motivation with it’s streaks! ### 2/5 — 굳이 돈내고 살필요 없음 *2026-05-31* 이 앱은 왜인지 자꾸 로그아웃을 시켜버려서 사용하기 굉장히 번거로움. 그냥 모바일버전이 훨씬나음. 모바일버전은 비번 저장이 되는데 이 앱버전은 그게 안돼서 일일히 아이디비번 치고 들어가야함 ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-04-25, version 1.0.2* Great app. Just sometimes doesn't have an example for very advanced words. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-04-22, version 1.0.2* Such an amazing app. I’ve been using for a long time and helped me learn so many words ### 5/5 — Problem *2026-04-20, version 1.0.2* I can’t seem to get any word usage examples lately. How do I correct this problem? ### 4/5 — Hard to track *2026-02-22, version 1.0.2* This is a good app but very hard to track how much work is done. ### 4/5 — Still Needs Polishing *2026-02-17, version 1.0.2* This app covers all the essential functions a vocabulary app should have, and its definitions are succinct and precise. However, a few issues need attention: 1. The pages occasionally freeze, and lagging occurs from time to time. 2. Progress tracking should be adjustable, allowing users to reset or revisit a vocabulary list multiple times for reinforcement. 3. The audio button sometimes does not respond when tapped. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-14, version 1.0.2* I have been using this app for many years. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too glitchy *2026-08-08, version 1.0.2* Frustrating esp after investing time & words. ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2026-08-03, version 1.0.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Cannot Sing Up *2026-06-25, version 1.0.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Not very compatible.. just use website *2026-06-22, version 1.0.2* They need a few updates it keeps closing me out and logging me out and saying server not available when I click on anything, ### 1/5 — Out of pocket definition *2026-06-22, version 1.0.2* They have the definition for “holla” as utterance said by animals. And every single example they have is basically conversations between people of Color. ### 1/5 — Apparently I’m not a human *2026-05-20, version 1.0.2* I can’t even sign up for an account when the verification system keeps saying the words I put in is incorrect. I’ve attempted to enter the word multiple times with capitals periods but nothing works. FIX YOUR VERIFICATION SYSTEM. ### 1/5 — I cannot input my birthday to the field. *2026-05-06* I cannot input my birthday when I try to sign up. The dialog popup disappears immediately when I tap the field. How should I do? ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-10-24, version 1.0.2* Trash ### 1/5 — Cant even make an account so glitchy *2025-10-07, version 1.0.2* Asks for my “parents email” and wont let me sign up. App looks old, probably not worth the time ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up *2025-09-14, version 1.0.2* When I tried putting in my age to sign up, it wouldn’t let me put in my actual date of birth. Instead, it just filled in today’s date. Then I finished filling everything out and it wouldn’t let me sign up, I pressed the button multiple times. I tried this process twice. Fix your app bud. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-08-19, version 1.0.2* I spend hours on this app!
