The first one was trampoline, then magician, then elusive, which is a bit better and less known, but the last time it told me cosmic. I set it to be more and more advanced every day, and somehow cosmic is a word for the most advanced language? I’m trying to learn new words, not go back to elementary school. This is probably good for people who don’t know english, but not those who are native speakers and want to really enhance their vocabulary unfortunately. ### 2/5 — Very low level vocabulary *2025-09-02, version 2.0.5* The words have been very simple. ### 3/5 — Good concept *2025-01-14, version 2.0.3* Good concept for a widget. Pronunciation tool does not work.. ### 1/5 — Spelling police *2024-09-20, version 2.0.2* Today’s word of the day was licence. That should be all you need to know right there. The specific example was “a gun licence” the definition is absolutely AI generated. Deleting app now, it’s garbage. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2024-09-20, version 2.0.2* Same word for three days ### 1/5 — Grave?? *2024-08-02, version 2.0.2* Grave was my word of the day?? What the f. ### 1/5 — Lacklustre words *2024-07-31, version 2.0.2* All of the words so far have been boring, eggshell, litter, submarine. Give us words that aren’t usually used daily or are common ### 1/5 — Not Challenging *2024-07-01, version 2.0.2* The words given are not challenging ! ### 2/5 — Need more complicated words *2024-04-15, version 2.0.2* The vocabulary words shared are too basic. I open the app every morning to words that I already know. Please start introducing higher level words ### 1/5 — I’m not learning any words *2024-03-19, version 2.0.2* Has the easiest words ever and does not teach me anything ### 1/5 — Basic Vocabulary *2024-02-23, version 2.0.2* I downloaded this app to improve my vocabulary, but I’m getting words from my third grade spelling test. Three days into it and I have gotten words like “transit” and “exactly”. ### 1/5 — A waste of an app *2024-02-22, version 2.0.2* You all can really do w/o the ads; you don’t even get to look at the word before an ad comes on! And you have to go to google to even hear the pronunciation. Like I said, waste of space ### 2/5 — Basic stuff *2024-01-25, version 2.0.2* Words are too easy even a kid knows them. ### 1/5 — Not challenging *2024-01-11, version 2.0.2* This app offers very basic words of the day so far (myth, drum), it has not been great for expanding vocabulary. I have not seen an option to change difficulty level. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Strange *2026-07-09, version 3.0.4* The words start being things like fat ugly overweight every day ### 1/5 — This should be called words for 6 year olds *2026-03-02, version 3.0.4* I downloaded this app hoping to brush up on my vocabulary. Today’s word of the day is twelve. And the definition is a group of 12. are you kidding me? Deleting now. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-11-14, version 2.0.5* This app defined Synthetic as “a synthetic compound” and that was the last straw for me ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-10-13, version 2.0.5* High majority of words that show on the daily widget are basic and have terrible definitions. Example: Objection; the act of objecting ### 1/5 — Makes up words *2025-08-08, version 2.0.5* I’ve only had this app for a week and there have been two made up words. Am deleting the app and looking for a new one. ### 1/5 — Needs Harder Words *2025-05-31, version 2.0.5* The words are too simple. Even set to the most advanced setting it was generating words such as terrestrial. ### 1/5 — Unnecessary ads everytime you open the app *2025-02-22, version 2.0.3* Forced to watch ads to view the definition of the word. Stupid ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-09-27, version 2.0.2* I wanted creative words that I could use, instead it’s just any word. Like today, arthritis is the word. Not what I wanted. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-09-24, version 2.0.2* The speaker doesn't work then leads into an ad - it could have been great ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-09-23, version 2.0.2* Simple words, bloated with ads and I can't find the app on my phone to uninstall it. It's such an insult to my intelligence I'm tempted to factory reset my phone just to get rid of it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jane W. *2025-03-31, version 2.0.5* I am grateful to the app for improving my vocabulary. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-02-22, version 2.0.3* No personalizing, no questions, no tricks. It’s a straight up word of the day and even gives you the link to the oxford dictionary and to look it up or translate on google! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-01-17, version 2.0.2* Gggggooooooooooooodddddd ### 5/5 — 𝙲𝕠𝚘𝕜𝚒𝕖 𝑠𝑎𝑦𝑠 “𝐶𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑤！“ *2022-05-17, version 2.0.1* ꧁𝑡𝑎𝑝 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒꧂ ❦♥︎ꨄ♡︎ఌ❣︎❥❤︎︎❀᪥❄︎𖧷❁𑁍☾☁︎︎☽☼☀︎︎☘︎︎シ☻︎㋛☺︎︎ت ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ 𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑙 🇱 🇴 🇦 🇩 🇮 🇳 🇬 ... 20% ƈօʍքʟɛȶɛ 30% ƈօʍքʟɛȶɛ 40% ƈօʍքʟɛȶɛ 50% ƈօʍքʟɛȶɛ 99% ƈօʍքʟɛȶɛ 100% ...

Just wish there was more info available without using additional link such as the pronunciation . But the provided links have everything you could want. Best available for free. ### 4/5 — Ads *2025-06-27, version 2.0.5* Love the word of the day, don’t mind the ads but they are hard to close ### 4/5 — Good except instant ads *2025-01-09, version 2.0.2* Good, except when you open the ad you’re quickly greeted with an ad within seconds. At least give us a moment so we can read and absorb the word before you send the ad in. Would be better if it had etymologies too but that’s probably a big ask and beyond the scope of the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
