GRE Vocabulary Flashcards for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great resource but not perfect (look here developers)The fact that all these cards are available for free and can be reviewed with no distractions makes this app five-stars, but this app has some issues that keeps me from giving it that rating. Developers, please add a button that allows me to review every card, one after the other, in a deck in a randomized order. At the very list, add a feature where you can see a list every word in a deck. I get so frustrated by the current card randomization algorithm. Once a deck is learned and I go back to review it, sometimes I’ll miss a few. But when I revisit a deck, I want to review ALL of the cards in the deck. Something happens where if I won’t see every card. I’ll get to a point in the revisit where I’ll just keep getting the same cards, and when I come back at a different time or day, then I’ll start seeing some new cards. I’d really like to be able to just go straight through the cards, and if I miss one, maybe shuffle that back in to the rest of the remaining stack until it is “learned,”.UltraBigAlVersion: 3.1.4

✓ App doesn't workIt requires you to create an account and sign in, won't work offline, the app is slow and glitchy, and it won't display any vocabulary. It's a shame, the mastered/reviewing/learning feature looked cool..Lycanthropy186Version: 2.4.2

✓ Poor codingI gave it a 5-star rating initially when I was learning words. But I’m changing it to 3 now that I am going through the flashcards I’ve already memorized. It’s extremely frustrating to go back to the words I’ve already learned because it takes literally hundreds of clicks before I go through a single stack. For example, when I’m going over Common Words I, which has 51 words, it takes me 400+ clicks before I actually see all of them. There must be some kind of an error in coding because it shouldn’t take me this long to review a single set of words. Please fix his problem!! This one issue ruins the entire app!.Marshall.fabVersion: 3.1.4

✓ Okay Flashcard app; could be improvedThis flashcard app isn’t bad, but it definitely could do with some commonsense improvements. To go through the positives and negatives: 1. Vocabulary range/depth seems solid: I typically know the majority of words in each deck, but in some of the harder decks I benefit from (don’t fully know) about 20-30% of the cards. 2. ***The inability to ignore/skip cards I know or star/flag cards I want to focus on is quite bad.*** This seems like a commonsense function of a flashcard app; it can be done on AnkiApp, for example. The result is that I have to occasionally mark things as “missed” even if I got them right or else they will be lost to the “mastered” deck, where I’ll have to sift through tens of cards I already know to find it again. 3. As others have pointed out, the inability to view the overall deck and choose cards is just dumb. (Or, if this is a feature and I just missed it, the app needs better UI) 4. It’s nice that this app technically has a tiered mastery system with which it prioritizes cards you haven’t learned, however it is not a very good system in comparison to something like AnkiApp: you instantly go from the lowest level (red) to reviewing (yellow), and after just a few reviews it gets lost to the mastered deck. There are other points, but those are some of the biggest things..FriendlyVVersion: 3.1.4

✓ Solid but could be so much betterThe app could improve substantially beginning with the definitions. Very very often you’ll find definitions that ramble on for 2-3 sentences and when you compare it to a google search of the same word its almost laughable how different of an approach they could’ve taken. When studying 1000+ words you need clear concise definitions with maybe 3-5 words max and on occasion a bit lengthier. Some other improvements that would make this app elite is: 1) have the ability to “hear” the word on the front side of the flashcard not the back. 1b) atleast have the pronunciation on the front 2) include synonyms on the backside so students are able to make work associations/connections 3) have the ability to go through a deck without the algorithm. While the algorithm genuinely is quality and reinforces words you’re struggling on well, once you master a set and want to review you’ll often find it takes forever to get through it completely because of nonstop repeats. OVERALL: quality app, would absolutely recommend to anyone studying for the GRE but there are some significant improvements the app needs to make..Carlos0812Version: 3.1.0

✓ Online Account Required???Why is there even a need to sync answers with an online account???.SafyanshahVersion: 2

✓ Can’t save words; repeated entriesI really like that it’s free, has pre-loaded words, and tracks your progress on the words, but it has several downfalls. 1) Many if the words are so common that it’s comical that they’re in the list. 2) you can’t save the words that you actually have to work on. If you want to work on them again, you have to hope you remember which set they’re in then flip through the entire deck at random hoping to find them again. 3) many words are duplicated in the different sets of 50. I’m not sure if this is intentional or a major oversight. It’s nice to flip through then once all the way to mastery per deck of 50, but I don’t think I’ll spend much time using them again. It’ll be too much work to find the words I need. I’ll use other, more challenging word lists online and save them on quizlet so I can highlight which words need to be studied..Reviewer Name 6Version: 3.1.1

✓ Not badSyncing problem otherwise good.AjjajajajajjajajajajVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Good vocabulary FlashcardsI recognize the words from all sections of the test. You need to learn these words. There’s a definition, part of speech and each word is used in a sentence. Each time you look at the word, then you see the definition, then you tell it if you knew it or not. Even after you say you know it, the word stays in rotation in order to review. It isn’t a set rotation, so you don’t start predicting the words. The words are in groups of about 50 words. You have to work on them one group at a time, but you can work on any given group at any time. If I see the same words too much in group, I’ll switch over to another group. This helps me internalize the words better. The only suggestion I have is the option to see all your words, preferably grouped by unseen, learning, reviewing or mastered. It also might be a good tool to have matching games with it. Either matching definitions or synonyms or even antonyms. This would be good practice for the select two words section. Thanks for your help Magoosh!.Elsie618Version: 3.1.0

✓ Great material, failed appThe vocabulary is very helpful. However, as an app, it has so many failures and shortcomings it’s almost impossible to use anymore. Not once, but twice it has completely lost hundreds of cards of progress that I had to go back and spend forever redoing. If you accidentally answer wrong or tap past a word you don’t actually know, there is no going back and you have to wait until that card pops up again randomly (and if you know it but answered wrong once, you have to answer it right 3+ times for it to register that you know it). You have no control over the order of the words or any options to view the word lists; you get them randomly, one at a time. If you want to go back and review a few words from a set, you have to also go through the 47 words you know 3+ times each to find those few words you want. I’m seriously considering just taking the time to manually enter these words into a quizlet set so that I can get the vocabulary words with an actually good digital flash card system..HgfhbubibivvuddVersion: 3.1.4
