Now I can’t learn the word in my widget.. why is it showing August 4th word of the day if it’s August 12 today. I’d like to learn a new word ### 2/5 — False advertising *2026-08-12, version 9.13.11* App advertised one new word everyday in widgets. Instead it forces you to visit the app to find new words. ### 3/5 — Good words. Lots of ads. *2026-07-28, version 9.13.11* In terms of words, this is the best Word of the Day app I’ve found. I really like their quiz to determine your vocabulary level, and have learned a lot. That being said, the amount of ads you get bombarded with is super irritating. You have to watch a 1-2 minute long ad to even get the new word some days because they claim you “missed it”… even though you open it first thing in the morning (it would be one thing to get an ad if you forgot to open the word until 10pm that evening. It’s another when you open it at 6am. I didn’t “miss it”. You’re just making me watching another freaking ad). If you scroll back to the word from the day before - ads. They’re just everywhere all the time and they’re LONG and unskippable. I don’t have the money to pay the premium subscription that every app on the face of the earth now harasses you to get. Can’t I please just learn a new word a day without the crazy amount of ads GOD I am SO TIRED OF ALL THE ADS. Update: they are now making me watch an ad every single morning before getting the word. No matter how early I open it (12:01 AM), I’m told I “missed it” and have to watch an ad to see it. This is getting ridiculous and is totally dishonest — again: I DIDN’T MISS ANYTHING. YOU ARE JUST MAKING ME WATCH YET ANOTHER MILLION-YEAR LONG UNSKIPPABLE AD. I think I’m officially done. ### 3/5 — Mid *2026-07-23, version 9.13.11* I like it I just hate how there are so many ads ### 4/5 — Helpful for my vocabulary *2026-07-17* I find “stop saying” section very effective. **Developer response:** Thank you, luq2345z7! Wishing you continued growth and confidence in your vocabulary! Lexi from Word of the Day ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-07-15, version 9.13.11* It is really awesome that you can begin using this app for free to see what all is available before you have to subscribe to it. I think that is very good business. And I’m looking forward to the adventure of vocabulary expansion! ### 4/5 — Love the premise *2026-07-09, version 9.13.11* Less ads. Everything is great. Waiting for ads is ridiculous. I am tempted to look for a different app, but like the content of this one. ### 4/5 — Feature request *2026-06-29, version 9.13.11* Could you add other English accents when it comes to pronunciation please? ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-25, version 9.13.11* Recommended because I learn new words everyday. My suggestion is please provide the dictionary if we want to search our own words. ### 5/5 — Adult Vocabulary’s *2026-06-22, version 9.13.11* I am so grateful to learn new words and see words my ancestors used regularly! ### 2/5 — ‘Missed a word’ *2026-06-19, version 9.13.11* Everyday I log onto the app, not always at the same time of day, but the app acts like I missed a word even though I didn’t! I’m logging in, looking at the definition and story, yet it tells me every other day I missed a word. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ai slop *2026-08-20, version 9.13.12* Constant ads, ai images and way to expensive ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-16, version 9.13.12* I used the free version. The definitions were vague to the point of being untrue. The words that came up were repetitive and sometimes sounded absurd. I felt like I saw “Smellfungus” every other day ### 1/5 — Constant adds *2026-08-09, version 9.13.11* I deleted this app because I had to watch an add or pay to get the word of the day. I just wanted to learn a new word every day if I missed a day ya ok I got to watch an add to get that one sure no problem but if I missed the word by an hour or two and I got to watch a damn video that is just about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. ### 1/5 — Paid *2026-07-23, version 9.13.11* Does not say in app purchases on the App Store page. Yet it’s another long onboarding app with paid at the end. ### 1/5 — Streaks *2026-07-21, version 9.13.11* I had a good streak!!!! I go to catch my next word and my streaks gone. Back to one😡 can the streaks take more time than zeroing us back down to 1. I’m hoping it can be salvaged. I’m near level 3! I think I’m going to remove the game. I gained very good streaks on this app. Once again my streak is down to one. It’s fair to say that not everything can be afforded with money. I believe the point system should be free and come without mishaps so to speak. I didn’t use it for one day and I lose it all my points.. I have made several complaints. Back to totality of my street points. So I thank you for this being a good game, but it’s done.. ### 1/5 — Do not Do not Do not! *2026-07-20, version 9.13.11* Even before you start, 3 minutes ad!!! Super expensive if you want the premium! Every word 2 minutes ad it’s crazy ### 1/5 — Paywalled the word after 11 am *2026-07-12, version 9.13.11* VERY aggressive upselling— I used it for a week and today I was told I missed today’s word and could unlock it with an ad. Stay FAR away from this one ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-26, version 9.13.11* They charged me £50 without letting me know anything about free trial end and app itself is so confusing you can’t use it as your wallpaper on your phone SCAM avoid!!!!!!!!!!! No response to emails they charge you for nothing useless app ### 1/5 — Beware…this app has serious bugs. *2026-06-19, version 9.13.11* Beware…this app has serious bugs, and the developers have no interest in fixing them! I joined this app in August 2024 and I have noticed one very consistent pattern. Whenever I have a high streak, the app tells me that I have missed a day when I know I have not. It then forces for me to watch ads, which wouldn’t be an issue if it fixed the glitch/problem, but, it doesn’t. This has been going on for a while now and I have reached out to the app’s technical support team, and no one has ever responded to my messages. I really like this app, but it won’t allow you maintain a high streak, which is unfortunate, because it seems the app developers are way more concerned with making money from ads. I am seriously rethinking this app now. ### 1/5 — Forcing advertisements *2026-05-31, version 9.13.10* I check on this app daily, and sometimes, even when I have maintained my “streak” it tells me I missed the word for the day, and asks to either watch an ad, or join premium. This is lame. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hello *2026-08-30, version 9.13.12* Just love this very upmarket app.🥰 ### 5/5 — New WORDS ..~Yay!!! *2026-08-28, version 9.13.12* Really a fan of Learning ~’New Things’: New Words, particularly!! ### 5/5 — vocab app *2026-08-22, version 9.13.12* i think this app is beautiful and that everyone should be open to expanding there knowledge and vocabulary with this amazing app! i don’t have the premium version but it’s still a great app without it.🤗 ### 5/5 — Solid app *2026-08-13, version 9.13.12* I really look forward to seeing what the Word of the day is and how the app will present it.
