Love this sooooo much!

I have only had this app a short time but it is so much better than any I’ve had before. The words are mostly new to me and always manage to catch my interests in some way. I highly recommend it to any who have a deep desire to constantly learn something new, or an affinity for words!

Not real words

I just had a word of the day “Starkling” looked at how they used it in a sentence, and it didn’t even make sense (“She starkling at 3am again.”)
Looked the word up on google all for me to be told this word hasn’t been used since 1527…

Response from developer

It is true that there were issues with "Starkling", it was a bad sentence and the etymology is not strong. Users have reported in feedback, and I have corrected the bad sentence. But I want to share that I have been honest in my app description, that this app is not for learning English, it will have non-English, old English or modern coined words. 1-star rating is very damaging for a free indie app like mine, hope you can reconsider.

Does what’s advertised for free

As the title says, this app does exactly what you’d expect an app of the sort to do, for free. What a rare find these days

Response from developer

First review from Canada! Thank you!

Very nice app

Makes each day a little it better. Who knew Gökotta was he act of rising at dawn specifically to go outside and listen to the first birds sing. I didn’t before but I sure am glad I know now.

Response from developer

Thanks! Glad it made your day a little better.

Very practical

This app does exactly what most people are looking for. There’s a word of the week, a widget to view quickly, and no ads or subscriptions. Very nice

Response from developer

Thank you! Help spread the word! pun-intended.

Just What I Wanted

We love an app with no AI - no paywall - ANDDD no data tracking ?? Perfect. Just a WOTD. I personally like the facts and pronunciation guide the most.

Response from developer

Thank you! Just to be clear, there are no tracking for ads, but there are basic tracking on how the app is used, without any personal data tracked.

Love it.

It’s simple and free.

Response from developer

Thank you!

Actual new words

One of the only vocabulary apps serving new words I don’t know. And no Ads or in-app purchases. A+

Response from developer

Thank you! Just to share, while there are no in-app purchases to unlock content, I have recently added a new postcard feature, where you can buy a real postcard that is sent directly to your recipient. Hope more people will give it a try.

PERFECT

This is a wonderful app, it is minimalist, free, aesthetically pleasing and has truly interesting words with historical context added. I saved it as a widget and it shows a new word every day. You can save your favorite words to view later. It's exactly what I wanted.

Response from developer

Thank you! Bonus tip: check the Archive tab to see Last Week’s Favourite Word, the word most favourited across all users last week.

Great App & App Creator

The app itself is wonderful, but the thing that is even greater is the creator of the app. I left feedback about if there could be an option for different languages/accents for the voice and received an immediate email about that happening. The speed in which the creator integrated this feature was incredible. Communication was amazing. They followed up and everything. Highly recommend! Thank you, Jin Quan!

My coworkers and I love going through these daily and using them as words of the day for the whole office. It’s a fun addition to

Thank you! Hope you like the voice options. Feedback like yours provided via the app will help all users have a nicer experience.

Incorrect definitions

I downloaded the app to learn new words, obviously. The first word I saw was “Quemadero,” and it was defined as “the peculiar guilt of enjoying something you know is bad for you.” I looked it up to see it used in a sentence, and found that that is NOT the definition of quemadero. I’m not trying to learn new words incorrectly. It seems as though the developers need to do more fact checking before pushing out their words.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. My apologies for this, it was the wrong definition. I have updated the validation process to fact check better, hopefully this will be avoided going forward. I have also corrected the meaning of "Quemadero", so new users won't see the wrong definition.

Bless this developer fr

Exactly what I was searching for just to learn something new everyday! So many apps are behind paywalls or logins, this just takes you right to the WOTD 🙌 even more lovely--it's beautiful and simple and is exactly what I was searching for among tons of (kinda unnecessarily) complex and flashy apps. I never write reviews, but really felt the need to share my appreciation

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind words. Hope you are using the widget! You don't even need to open the app to see the new word everyday. Tried my best to keep things simple.

Just one complaint

This is a good app, I like the design and that you don’t have to pay for it. Buuuut I’m pretty sure some of these words don’t exist, because the only thing that pops up when you search some of them up is something from this app.

Response from developer

Appreciate your feedback. I have done a full audit of all past words and found only 1 word with no basis anywhere, "quoparenthesis". I think that is what you are referring to. I will strengthen my validation process. Here is the rest of my audit: 70.6% validated against dictionaries, 18.4% are neologisms (have basis somewhere but might not be in modern dictionaries), 10.3% are loanwords (non-English words but can be expressed in English). Neologisms and loanwords are popular among users as they express something not easily found in usual English. Hope you can update to a 5-star. A 3-star is impactful for an indie app like this.

Love this app!

I have learned so many new words and love the widget option. Fantastic app!

Response from developer

Glad you liked it. Thank you! Fun fact for you, roughly every 1 out of 2 users will have an active WOTD widget.

It doesnt get any better than this

To find an app in this day and age without ads or trying to sell you a subscription; just an app that does exactly what is promised - thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you for the nice review! This is a hobby project, that is why I can maintain it without ads or subscription. I am curious to explore small monetisation but I want to include my users in this process so as not to betray the expectation of "no ads or subscription". If any users read this, please let me know via "Feedback" inside the app.

Honestly, 10/10.

No hidden subscription bs, I can tell you that (which is sadly what nearly every form of educational or entertainment service has nowadays).

I’ve been using this WOTD app for a few hours and already, I’m excited for the next new word to learn. It’s a clean, well-thought out app. Kudos to you, developer. May both sides of your pillows remain cool.

Appreciate the support! May both sides of your pillows remain cool too. hahaha

EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED

thank you!!!! I wanted a SIMPLE CLEAN WOTD app without any extra bells and whistles!!! this one does the job PHENOMENALLY. clean. simple. easy to use. no extra fluff.

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Amazing

No random walkthroughs or pay screens- just straight to the word of the day. There’s an archive of previous words as well with a favoriting system. The widgets look nice as well!
It would be nice to have genre-specific words, like if I were trying to learn vocabulary of a certain subject, but 5 star app still.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! The concept is that everyone sees the same word each day, and it will be an uncommon word, so not suited for learning. Nevertheless, I appreciate your feedback and will think about how to cater to learners.

Great app

This app does exactly as described, you can do widget on lockscreen or homescreen. The only improvement I suggest is that the word selection should be words that someone is more likely to use in everyday life

Response from developer

Thank you for your support and feedback! I will try to improve the word curation.
