Puku: Learn New Words for Negative User Reviews

Too slowWastes so much time telling you that you are correct. Boring. Need a “speed button” or a “just skip the “puku growing whizzy waste of time graphics” button..Version: 1.12

Rip off !!!!I paid for a year subscription only to find that there are no word lists available any more. Will sure be asking for a refund!!!!.Version: 1.12

Paid Subscription automatically resets to free versionI was in love with the Aap until few days back. My son has been using Puku for over an year and had completed 900 words. Few days back my puku account automatically got reset to free version and all the categories got locked although I have subscrition till Dec 28 2021. All my attempt went in vain and I had to delete the Aap to reover my paid version. My son was very upset his work was lost and puku got short. I cheered him up saying he can rebuild puku while he revised the words. But again the Aap got reset to free version. I have emailed Puku team and has not heard back from hem yet. I am really looking forward for a solution and in the best case scenario recover my son's lost puku work to love the App again and I can update my review..Version: 1.12

Good idea, but never any updatesI paid $7.99 for a 1-year subscription in October 2019. Since then, I've never seen a word-list update, and the last update to the app was almost a year ago. This should absolutely have been a one-time purchase if there were no plans for ongoing development. Charging for a recurring subscription is malicious..Version: 1.12

Not enough words for $8I signed up for $8 which I cannot get back. There are only about 40 words in this program. I contacted the company and they said new lists should come out every month. I waited 2 months and they added 5 words. Otherwise the features of the program are good, just not enough words..Version: 1.12

The app doesn’t workWe are trying to subscribe for the app but it does not work. How we can get it?.Version: 1.12

Will Not Work after I paid for annual subscriptionMy 6 year old son and I found the Puku App yesterday, tried the free version, and loved it! We went through 4 words, and then it stopped working. We tried again the next day with no luck. We deleted the app and restarted my phone. And the app still wouldn't work. Was it because I didn't pay for the subscription? We decided to pay for the annual subscription, and still no luck! This is very sad. The app worked just beautifully the day prior. I have 4 kids ages 6 to 15, and thought this would be a great way for them to improve their vocabulary..Version: 1.12

Can’t get inI can’t even get passed the loading screen! Please fix. I put three stars because I don’t know what the app really has in store..Version: 1.12

I expected so much more.I had such high hopes when I learned Merriam Webster had an app to help with vocabulary and spelling and then capitalism went and tore my word living heart to shreds. This app seemed so cool. Some in app purchases no big deal! I was wrong! THIS IS NOT A FREE APP AT ALL IT IS ALL PAID! You start off thinking okay so I can do the main part free but the side stuff I have to pay for no big that’s fine can still have word fun, then after spending a night doing the main “play Puku” you can’t do anything without spending any money. What a sham! It’s an outrage! It’s an affront to learning, and an utter disgrace. I’m so heartbroken and appalled by how this was described and marketed that I’m debating unsubscribing from my beloved word of the day news letter and finding myself a new dictionary. To be betrayed like this by my oldest and most trusted friend. I know not how I’ll carry on but time trudges forward and so must I in this bleak unforgiving world. I’d give negative stars if I could.Version: 1.12

Cute, But Limited Word ListsIt’s a cute App with lots of promise. Adding words that you want to learn is easy, but they are limited to one list. Once you complete a list, you can’t modify it. If you want to make a new list, you have to do so from scratch. If adding your own words was easier, I’d give this 5 stars..Version: 1.12

Subscription Fee? Delete.Excited when I saw the app and then there was a subscription fee. One time purchase is cool. Subscription is a definite no, but I thought I would try 7 days for free, but then it automatically forces you to get a subscription after 7 days? Nope, deleted..Version: 1.12

Has potential, needs a little more workEnhancing and fun to play overall. However there are a few significant shortcomings that preclude me from giving it more stars. First, this is made by the dictionary - why the limited number of words? I have a profile for myself and quickly ran out of challenges. Huh? Second, my kids are 6, 10, and 13 - their lists and mine are almost the same (if not exactly the same). I love learning new vocabulary, so I was optimistic that I would have a good challenge. Finally, there should be a way to hear the word pronounced and easily get a definition. I’d also like to see some sort of memory challenge / revisit your old words pop up at certain intervals. Or possibly ones that were tricky. Optimistic that the developer is adding some of these features, especially for a paid app. Looking forward to improvements!.Version: 1.12

Nice Idea, Bad ExecutionLimited vocabulary lists and inability to share app amongst different devices (even with same login credentials) makes this a loser. But only if you subscribe..Version: 1.12

Worst app in the universe I hate itPractically everything is for the premium why is there a subscription I hate this app.Version: 1.12

HorribleIt said I could have a seven day free trial of the full app so I wanted to see what it was like and I didn’t enjoy my experience so I went to cancel the subscription and I allready billed me even though I have only had two days off my seven day free trial.Version: 1.12

App and characterThe app isn’t programmed well, is so slow and i think the character design isn’t proper for kids..Version: 1.12

Swiping through answers is ridiculousHaving to swipe through the multiple choice answers is ridiculous. Put all 4 on the screen at once. Animation is too slow and Puku is off putting. This has potential but needs a ton of work..Version: 1.12

WordsIt’s a good app. But I already knew these words. Maybe make it more challenging?.Version: 1.12
