- Grab words anytime

I used to write down all the words I did not fully understand in my notebook. Not only copying each word is breaking my reading experience, and also it's easy to lose after a while. In WordBook, you can quickly grab any words I'm reading and "share" them with my Wordbook, like sharing a text with a close friend. Wordbook will put it into a list and remind you to review them until you can fully master those words.

- Sync across devices via iCloud

With the lovely feature and service of iCloud, your personal list of words in Wordbook will be able to sync across all iOS, macOS, and watchOS devices. It means when you add words from the iPad and work them on iPhone or vice versa.

- Quick Revise with Apple Watch App

An Apple Watch App also comes alone with Wordbook. If you allow Wordbook to send you reminder notifications, you can keep working on your words on your watch, anywhere, anytime at your convenience.

- Spacing memorize

The most effective way that technology can bring to you on memorizing things is spacing memorization. It means to show you the words repeatedly in the first few hours, then the next day, subsequently after several days to enforce the memory. Wordbook will do that automatically. Not only that, when you give feedback each time you see a word in the App: fully, kind of, or not remembering, Wordbook will adjust how and when the word will show to you later next time. A perfect pace designed just for you until you can get a full grip.

- Master the language in English, not lost in translation

A strong vocabulary is a crucial for mastering language and understanding valued information. Wordbook believes learning the meaning of the word in English will push the understanding of the word to a deeper level.
