Vocabulary.com for Positive User Reviews
✓ Needs an update for newer iphonesIPhone 13 resolutions aren’t properly supported by the app. Poor UX experience.. If you have an older iphone, like the iphone se, it should be fine. With that being said, the app works well for vocabulary. I find myself using the words I learn throughout the day. What I appreciate about this app, is how much they make you review the word. The app seems to focus more on REVIEW than it does learning. Which is how learning works. seems to be like 90% review, 10% new words. I could read the dictionary if i wanted to find new words. This app gives you a few words to start with, then hammers them into you. Then, you may see a new word. While still being hammered with old words. Continue with this app, try to be ranked 50,000. You will find yourself using your improved vocabulary throughout the day; or at least find opportunities where you could have used the new word..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Words Fail MeOK, maybe they don't, since I'm writing this review. The quiz style games are easy to follow and the way they appear to the user really does help that user to remember new words. It also seemed to me that it did not take long for the app to get a feel for the user's proficiency in English. This a great educational app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Ready appI love this app. I use it quite frequently. I was hesitant to buy it as I don't usually buy app's but it has exceeded expectations..Version: 1.0.1
✓ An dictionary written by human, for humanI think it’s pretty obvious and safe to say that few other apps are more learner friendly than this one as all the word definitions are unwrapped around daily use. It’s absolutely amazing to see the examples are literally up to date!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Update the appPlease update the app, as in future versions of IOS it will not be supported.Version: 1.0.1
✓ As close to most efficient as we got.There are so many tools and ways to improve your vocabulary out there that it makes for a real challenge to find the one you'll want for a standard. I would love for the team to build this app towards excellence by focusing on key principles of memory, learning and psychology. Semantic chunking is a much better and proved way to learn vocabulary instead of alphabetical order. But I'm giving the app 5 stars because it follows most of the core principles around its goals, and by doing that it becomes a very effective tool in your language learning/improving kit. A must have..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great appVery good app to improve vocabulary. I work 5 to 10 minutes daily, it is always a pleasure, and slowly but surely, I learn each day new words..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good features but has UX issues.App functionality is good but personally I think it’s resolution is not good. Everything looks larger than normal. Really difficult to work with when keyboard pops out to type. I’m using iPhone 7 plus..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A learning aid like no otherFirst off, this app is incredibly well designed. It has a point system and many "achievements" that make you feel good about learning words. Further, the definitions of the words are explanations, written in plain, comprehensibe English. I went online and created my own word list and I also found a list in the app's word list database. This way I can learn the words I see in everyday readings, as well as challanging words I'm not used to seeing. This app actually helps you learn vocabulary, I've already noticed a difference in the way I write from only using this app for about 3 months. I would recommend every person who values written and verbal expression, which should be all of us. 5 out of 5 stars..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great app that needs an updateVery useful! However, it needs to be updated to fix bugs. The last update was 6 years ago...Version: 1.0.1
✓ I recommend this.I love this app. I use it often, and I often recommend it to others as well. The one thing, the ONE thing that I have a problem with, is that I can’t choose the country settings for the spelling of words. It may seem like a small thing, but as a non American, it is quite frustrating. Oh, and it would be great if we could search via synonyms for words that we are having trouble figuring out the spelling of.(but no app that I can find does that, so that’s not a reflection on this one) Then, this app would be perfect..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not working with new iOS systemPlease update the app 😭.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great app, but not perfect.The Vocabulary app is very intuitive and efficient in helping you build your vocabulary. However, they still do not save search history and you must delete every letter in the search bar before typing in another word. Those two small yet significant factors would give this app five stars. There are many times I wish I could save terms, but I cannot because they aren’t available to “save” and I can’t look up my search history. Other than those two things, Vocabulary app is great..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great idea, but no updates!The app is a terrific idea but has one major issue: no updates in over a year on a purchased app which seems a bit ridiculous considering the amount of bugs and issues still left (e.g., I still can't mute the audio when mastering a word even when my phone itself is muted). That said, it's certainly worth the expense and I still enjoy using the app regularly. It has a clean and unobtrusive interface, making it quite simple to use. Would definitely be 5 stars if the developers rolled out even a small bug fixes every few months..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good App!Useful explanation and helpful functions. But when using, the whole control of system is not comfortable and it cannot download the new word lists..Version: 1.0.1
✓ FINALLY INTERFACE UPDATED!!!Honestly, i have not found a better app to learn GRE vocabulary or increase my range of vocabulary. This app had major issues for ~2 years because the team was slow on updating the app with the updates for the newer iPhones. Thank you to the developers and tech team for finally updating the app. I hope the team continues to make changes and updates with the new screens and focuses their time on the user friendliness. If they continue doing so, with a little bit more marketing, they will be the top vocabulary app - no doubt about it. Word Hippo, word of the day, nothing compares. Keep it going!!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ This what I've been looking forwardYou people got into my head and pulled out my ideal vocabulary website. Many, many thanks..Version: 1.0.1
✓ FantasticCan’t believe this is free.Version: 1.0.2
✓ AmazingA great app. I really enjoy reading the simplified definitions and also playing games to learn more vocabulary. Highly recommended. Two suggestions : please add a cross (x) next to the text box for the word entry so it can be easily erased rather than using backspace. Please add an option to add more words into your vocabulary list..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very helpful app!I like how you can easily search up words and add them to your list. Also gives you sentences which use the word in context. Another great thing is being able to add words from a book you’ve read by searching it up on lists. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ The best!The best!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Favorite app for a smartyThis app is amazing. It definitely has some bugs/parts it could fix such as the definitions of some words & expanding its vocabulary content. I love that it contains a fun way to learn words by playing. It's a smart idea since I am addicted to playing! I love learning new words and there is no better way than this! I would definitely rate this five stars if only it contained more day to day use of words (I search up words sometimes & they aren't there which is frustrating since it is a vocab app, so please fix this! If dictionary app is free and has more variety of words, an app that costs money should definitely be on top of its game.) Also some definitions could definitely be a bit off, confusing or don't offer all the different meanings of a word. Still rating it four stars because I love the game and keeps my tongue top-notch ;)..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great vocab enhancerI read a lot so when the app started I thought it was too simple but it very quickly got me to words that I had never seen before. Really enjoying it so far..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very good app for advancing vocabularyThis is not for a beginner - but it was exactly what I was looking for as an educated English speaker. In a world of dumbed down vocab and conversation I am trying to repair my word power, and this app does the job. The words are placed in a literary context but the commentary is in every day speech and sometimes very funny..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Much better than the websiteThis app is so much more convenient than the desktop site as i can Learn on the go, it's a must have if you're looking to improve your vocabulary.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Nice AppHaving a lot of fun and definitely learning many new words. I've found that a number of words that I'd like to learn seem unable to be entered as 'words I'm learning' which is the only downside for me. Overall, a nice little app that is well worth the money..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good appHandy and practical. You can also add vocabulary list and check spelling on their website. Cool..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Brilliant AppThis is the best vocabulary app! It definitely fills the place of Word Dynamo- it's a lot better! I love the definitions- they're easy to understand. I love this app!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Magic little appGreat vocabulary app, with easily digestible explanations and links to further information!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ PerfectThis app has really helped me expand my vocabulary more than what I thought it would..Version: 1.0.1
✓ JosieA fantastic app! Love it.Version: 1.0.1
✓ AwesomeLove this app. I don’t like many apps but this one is awesome. Though would be great to be able to use it offline..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great appIt helps me improve my vocabulary as I'm speaking English as a second language. However, I feel something is missing that could help me further such as when a difficult word that takes me a long time to remember..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A great way to understand the wordsIt greatly helped me to understand the word's meaning. It has a a lot of examples that help to make connections with various situations. It is more than a dictionary that gives you the basic meaning. It adds the synonyms, examples, games with the words one wants to learn. One can put words in a list to learnthem while playing. There are predefined lists as well. I hope that soon the user will be able to create custom lists of words. One of the best applications to understand the language..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Please please please Update thisI have used this app for years today I found out I couldn’t use it after updating my iPhone. Please update this amazing app.Version: 1.0.1
✓ MhbThis app is extremely useful when it comes to expanding vocab, definitions are simple making them easy to understand, often the origin of words or similar words are mentioned which helps you remember them. The variation in the type of questions keeps it interesting, though there's always room for more. One negative is, although you can add a new word to your list after searching it and clicking "start learning this word", they are added to the All Words list and there is no option to organise or create a list, which I think should be changed in the future update. Otherwise, thumbs up. 👍.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good but some glitchesGood way of challenging your perception about what words mean and learning new ones that you might use. Some glitches that I can only put down to a difference between native speakers of English and American English: still oddly engaging..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good funFun game if you like words. Really like the links to the actual books and articles that have been sampled..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Excellent App!This app has helped me massively with reading books and understanding words. No longer do I need to google words when reading a book that’s hard to read, I can just enter the word into this app and it’ll save it and present the word in the form of tests designed to help you fully understand the use of the word in its many different contexts. Fun to use, rewarding and simple..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great App!Am really enjoying this app it's easy to use and quite intuitive. The words it chooses are interesting and challenging. I would highly recommend it. Only negative feedback is that sometimes the choices you need to pick from are a bit of a stretch or not quite plausible, but this is rare and there is a button which allows you to give feedback in these cases. Buy and learn!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ ⭐️Thank you for updating the app! Now I can use it with iOS 15.Version: 1.0.2
✓ New Version Coming 2021?I love this app, how it describes word meanings beyond a typical formal definition. I hate that it can’t work with the latest IOS update (June 2021). I think it’s irreplaceable as it has created its own niche in the dictionary type app. I remain hopeful after I got this email from the developers due to my query, June 15,2021: We're currently working on a new version of the app. While I can't yet share a release window, rest assured it's definitely on our priority list and our app users have not been forgotten about..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love the app!I really like this app! Always trying to improve my vocabulary and this is super helpful! :) please keep making improvements on this :)) thanks!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Highly customizable app!I think the amount of time and energy the developer spent to build this app deserve the attention of we, the users! I am an ESL student who’s enthusiasm for learning new English words made him use a plethora of apps. But this app is something different. You can use a set of predefined words to master or you can fancy making yours. Personally,I like the usage example section. When I was looking up for “Gargantuan” definition I didn’t expect a presence of the word as recent as September 20th ,2018 in Wall Street Journal, quite astonishing! I just have some minor issues with the app, mostly about look. There is a feeling that you’re using a converted web app, not a native iOS app. And speaking of the web app there are some features that are only accessible through web, like huge predefined words list or make a list out of a short page automagically..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Best vocabulary learning appBeen with Voc for over 2 years, all time favourite. I love how the app doesn't layout all meaning for you but instead tells you how a word is used most of the time. Also, love the fact Voc also tells you where the word is from (Greek or Latin)..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! 📓📕📒📔📗📘📙📚Omg! This game is awesome! It is fun in the competitive and points aspect, but educational in the way of the new words. The app is beneficent and so worth the money. I would highly recommend this to all teachers, and if you don’t have a school subscription I would inform your teacher on this site so they can utilize its educational value. In this game, you basically get a quiz and answer with spelling and definitions, and if you get it right at the first time you receive a certain amount of points. You get ranks based of the amount of points you have and also get put on school, class, district, and overall leaderboards. You definitely should invest in this app. My 6th grade class uses this, and all of my friends compete with me and each other. I am happy because I am up 30,000 points. You really need to get this..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Pay for it!!!Yes some apps are worth paying for. Yes you get what you pay for etc etc. This app was recommended elsewhere and has helped me to learn new words and track that learning through relevant activities using current real-world examples. Feel like I’m getting smarter by the day..Version: 1.0.1
✓ "Ought" to be moreI noticed that words like "ought" are not in the dictionary and I had to look it up elsewhere. The old English word "aught" is inadequately defined as "nothing" when it's actually "something" and that's a big difference. This is a app that has great potential but needs work in these areas to compete with the other dictionaries: 1) Offline use - most dictionary apps I've used have an offline use to define words. Really great to save data. I can understand the need for internet connection for the games within the app but let the users have offline access to the looking up words. 2) Etymology - I would like the app to include more on the Etymology of the words, their old English root meanings and not just Latin. I feel there's not enough of that compared to other dictionary apps. 3) Updates - Updates for the app should not only be when there are bugs to squash to improve usage but vocabulary additions or updates on the words that I mentioned. I had hoped that this would be my "all in one" dictionary app that would help me expand my vocabulary and dig deep into the etymology. Please, work on including these features into the next update. If the developers would include the offline use feature then I would give it a 5 star!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ App to build vocabularyThis app is indeed a good way to build vocabulary. Though it has really nice features, i expect more from it. Because it exudes much more possibility than it has now. I would love to have a scientific method in this app to learn word to sow them in short and long term memories. Even i master a word i want that to be asked in longer periods continuously. Also i wish they had more questions to crosscheck the word we learned. Unconciously i tend to memorize the questions :( it should eliminate that problem much more efficiently..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great appAddictive app for expanding video casualty. It would be even more awesome if it works offline. I assume it's impossible to download all the words but at least all the words you are currently learning can be downloaded?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Perfect!!!I love the fact you can choose words that you think are difficult, to show up more often, the dictionary is very helpful within the game, especially when there are words that I don't know in answers. The definitions are easy to understand, but most importantly, they supplement vocab understanding with fun and interesting sentence. It is also useful to be able to combine lists, PERFECT for SAT and other vocabulary related tests. I highly recommend combining the lists for all the, " 100 SAT beginning with a-z." Great set of vocab!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great app, really happy, couple suggestions1. I would really like the ability to highlight text so I can copy paste it. 2. Often the app fails to open keyboard (I use the default English keyboard) when trying to type in text boxes. Should be an easy glitch to fix. It was most notable when signing up with an account and providing feedback to a text box question. (I spelt it right but it was capitalized and counted it wrong) And that’s it at the moment. I did say a just couple. Highly recommend this app, I’ve already asked a few relatives to get it for themselves. :D.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Handy Application for on-the-goI have a huge problem with not knowing words, especially hearing words that may seem like I should know them, but don’t have the knowledge, or haven’t heard them at all. With this app being accessible for the iPhone, I can search up words, add them, and the quiz/questions that challenges me to understand the words that I want to know is a really great tool. I just wish that the bottom portion that states “start learning this word” was a little higher for my phone screen. Feels like it’s cut off and won’t adapt to my phone screen. But other than that issue. I really like this app.Version: 1.0.2
✓ UpdateWhen will this sensational app be updated, have been waiting months! Please update… please as it’s such a useful app!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great for wordsmithsI love words... The more I learn, the easier I can express myself. If we all keep these words alive by incorporating them into our everyday language think how much clearer and richer our communication and understanding will be. Thanks for a great app. More words please..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Best dictionary appWorth the cost of the app just for the dictionary alone. Many dictionaries will use the word in the definition, but this one doesn't. Definitions include sentences using the word, word families, a short paragraph explaining the word, and sometimes a link to a blog post that goes into more detail, if you're interested. Not only is the dictionary great, the challenge is executed well. Plus you can create your own list of words to practice in the challenge. It's easy to add a word from the dictionary to your practice list. My only complaint is that occasionally the app won't prompt you to add a word you've looked up to your practice list. The developers need to work on that!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Please don’t abandon this wonderful app!I love this app a lot as it helps me build up my vocabulary day by day in a fun way, unlike other flash card apps. But the app hasn’t been updated for 3 years! I am afraid that one day it might not work anymore on newer iOS systems. Please keep the fun going! Thank you!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ AddictiveAt first, I doubted the authenticity of definitions as my progress sucked, yet later it became apparent this app uses all and sundry sort of meanings to a lexicon. It greatly relies on memory as well. I like the up-to-date examples and their contexts. Kudos! Feedback: it would be perfect if phonetic transcriptions be added..Version: 1.0.1
✓ AwesomeOther dictionaries are stupid compared to this.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Highly recommended for those who have basic level in EnglishYou’ll enjoy practicing your English with this app.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Amazing!!!!!Quick and instant reply in the 'Look Up' section. A whole load of words, their synonyms and usage examples. Easily understand words when you look it up in the 'Look Up' section. This app should have a higher price being this extraordinary!👍.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Nicely doneElegant, efficient and fun way to learn vocabulary!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Pretty goodHad a scrolling issue at the beginning with the lookup function, now seems to be fixed. Over all quite useful..Version: 1.0.1
✓ The best vocabularyI use it everyday day for learning words, the definitions are easy to understand and remember..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great AppI find this app very useful to learn new words by playing game. I recommend to my friends as well. It is very much addicted..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Useful but tired appThe app is practical and the explanations are pertinent. But it stutters sometimes when the pronunciation button is activated. It’s a tired app that needs some updating..Version: 1.0.1
✓ ExcellentI've always struggled to remember the meaning if words after looking them up in the dictionary. This app is very well designed and just what I needed. If I hear or read a word I don't know the meaning of and want to learn it I can simply add it to my vocab list..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Nearly perfect for vocab buildingThis app has an amazing design, both in it's aesthetics and it's teaching philosophy. It's not drilling words and definitions like a flash cards but rather haves you read passages to ask questions about its meaning. My only gripe with the app is that I'm learning from a list of over 600 words and in the last few days that I've been using it, not one word has been repeated. Though there are options to see "words I'm learning" and "words I've played,"both options list all 600 words, even if I have even seen them yet. Currently, the only way I've found to concentrate on a limited set of words is to manually find the words under the Play option and press "Focus more on this word." Also, I'd like the manipulate the lists as other users have stated. Again, the app is great and I'll continue using it, but I wish it could implement my suggestions..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great appThis is a great app for learning new words. But it would be really useful to be able to practice word lists, a feature currently only available on the websites..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good app but...It's a good app, great even. But it's a bit of a drag you can't use your own lists. I want to learn the words I find. I keep running into dumb words that I already know. That's my biggest problem with it. It's crashed here and there for me. And I wish there was a back button when you're looking for lists. Sometimes I look at a list but decide I don't want it, but to look at more of what I searched, I have to redo typing it in. Minor hindrance. And you need wifi for this app to work. If you change the list thing, I'd give this app 5 stars. To recapitulate, it's an good app, in my opinion not worth $3.18, and it has little issues here and there. I'd recommend it though!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Progress evident; Progress imminent.Are you lacking confidnce in conversation? Are you tired of coming across as someone who doesn't read? If so, Vocabulary.com is for you. I have been active on this app for no longer than 24 hours and so far I am really pleased with its effectiveness in helping me build vocabulary. Believe me, considering you are not buying, it's worth at least trying !.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good and useful app but...I like it and it's been useful - helping me with pronunciation and studying for the MAT. The repetition is good and the different meanings and context are very helpful. My only two complaints: there is no opt-out button for words I already know. I wish they would make one! And when you make a list - they plug in other words along with your list words - which is frustrating when I need to learn specific terms and only want to practice those words. Right now, I'm trying to learn the list I made for the Periodic chart - and after several rounds - I have only had two words of the list and the rest has been a mess of words from The Challenge. It's frustrating when you are trying to study for something specific..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good appThis is a powerful tool to study English. Perfect explanation and option to study. If I had improved something, I would have created option to add words to learning set from search. It would be really useful. Regards..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love using this app but ...I love using this app. I'm well past a time in my life where I need an app like this to study for a college entrance exam. I just want to improve and extend my vocabulary. This app is a delightful way of accomplishing this. I would say; however, that some of the words seem geared to these types of tests and that these words would be useful in the "real" world. Even so, I assume this app has the same effect on me that video games have on a younger crowd: I seem to get caught up in it and cannot stop playing it. I think that's a big compliment..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Best app for learning advanced vocabularyThere are many apps, but this one is by far the best guide in the wild and daunting jungle of complicated terms of English language. It’s target audience is probably school children (as an adult it’s weird to read a word description with examples involving mom and dad) but there are myriad of things I still don’t know, although my level is C1. A lot of games are additional bonus. All the best, please continue our important job.Version: 1.0.2
✓ The best app on my iPhoneI have been searching for an app like this for three years and words cannot describe (excuse the pun) how perfect this is for my requirements. All I ever needed was somewhere to store Lehman’s terms for fancy new words I came across in newspapers; this goes above and beyond, with a gamified style of learning, detailed descriptions and pronunciation built into the app. I don’t often give 5* ratings but, functionally, this app simply could not be better. Can we expect an iPhone X version anytime soon?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Best dictionary ever!The explanation of each word is in such a manner that automatically help me remember meaning. Majority of the words are explained based on the current usage in colloquial language, written form and in other various contexts, which ultimately helps understand the nuances of various meanings of the same word..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very good but could be betterA handy, easy to use app. Works well and fun. But the definitions don’t always include all the meanings of a word and don’t always give the etymology. So I use it in conjunction with a dictionary..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great appI can’t thank you enough for building such fascinating application. It is helping me a lot to pick up my fluency and broaden my vocabulary knowledge. I love it and well done!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Liked it but...I really like this app! For one, the program allows you to learn new words depending on your knowledge toward other words. For two, the app helps you understand words better! However, like any app, the program has things to fix. For instance: - check definitions (on some words it has incorrect definitions, don't be alarmed, I've had this for around 2 months and I've only seen 2 words with wrong wording) - not use the same questions (I know it can be very hard to come up with new questions for more than 2,000 words, but you have to start somewhere. Overall I think this app is wonderful and I do recommend to others! It's fun to learn new words to not only expand your leaning potential and vocabulary intake, but also use these big words when talking to your friends, just to seem a little smarter ;).Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good but not perfectWorks well. The way it figures out your level and uses repetition is excellent. But I can’t five star it because some of the definitions it gives just aren’t up to par. It’s nice when it gives history and roots. But it doesn’t always do that. On “reticulate” it used the same word in the explanation/definition! Also the definitions are always the same even when the questions vary and with words like “sublimate” it gets too tricky because it wants you to figure something out that it hasn’t gone anywhere near explaining..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Amazing App, would love better iOS VisualsI am astounded at how well Vocab.com is set up and works to help improve your vocabulary. I have been using it for a few years now, but have found the app to be quite visually unappealing as opposed to the website. Would love to see this have a more app-cantered design rather than feel like they took the code for the website and just barely adapted it to make Vocab.com also work as an app. Bottom-line: an amazing tool, could be visually better. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ This app helps me TREMENDOUSLY!I really don’t have a super huge vocabulary for my age. I need to look up a lot of words a lot of the time. I also have to look up the same words multiple times because I almost immediately forget the definition right after I look it up. I love the way that the dictionary function of this app gives word definitions! It makes it a million times easier for me to understand what the word means. It gives a short simple one to two sentence explanation of the word, gives an example of a sentence you could use the word in, gives the breakdown of the root latin words, then goes into the standard dictionary definitions and usage examples. The way the app explains the words is just so much easier for me to understand then opening up a standard dictionary. This app have been very helpful for me when I read my Bible!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good app but can use an updateI like the app, it's very useful and good for vocab building. the dictionary defines words well and makes it easy to learn the word. But the user interface can be improved (an easier button to save words & a button to clear all letters after searching) and an offline dictionary would be nice! but overall, good app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Excellent learningThis app has a clean, positive interface and a great way of drawing you in to help teach you new words, their meanings and how to spell them. The app designers have made this process as enjoyable as it could possibly be, using plenty of methods to keep you hooked. Dictionary definitions are very clear in this app, using as many real-life, in-context examples as can be imagined. This is a top quality app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ One step away from being perfectThe interface is beautiful, simple and user-friendly, pronunciation of words are clear, games are educational and straight-forward. Especially love the function of saving words that i'm not familiar with to learning queue. However the saving option only appear by chance. There's no button to add words to queue and i'll have waiting for the option to pop up every time. Other then this trouble, i'm loving the app so far and it is one of my favourite apps..Version: 1.0.1

It explains the teach you the vocabularies in an understandable and all-rounded way, most of annotations and sentences are original and interesting, love it. Wish it could develop a more easy use word book saving function..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great vocab app!Only had the app for one day, but I am impressed! Plethora of words available to learn and the means by which the app tests you varies... pictures may even be used to assess your memory of a word and its meaning. I would highly recommend this app for anyone wanting to improve their vocabulary in a fun and self-directed fashion..Version: 1.0.1
✓ AwesomeGreat app guys! Props to the people who created it. Theres also a bit of humour in some of the definitions which makes learning new words more enjoyable.Version: 1.0.1
✓ MUS-HAVE app for ENGLISH LearnersIt's a serendipity to find this app and the website. It's an innovative way to remember the words. It provides context to let you have a better understanding instead of just words meaning. The only pity the app didn't update for such a long time. PLEASE RELEASE update ASAP..Version: 1.0.1
✓ App needs to be updated!I’m giving this app 5 stars because it really is a great app that I’ve used so much over the years. It’s gamified method and level-up system is motivational towards learning more and makes it fun! Moreover, the explanations are really effective in remembering the words. For all these reasons and more, this app needs to be updated so that it can be used with the current versions of apple’s iOS, since unfortunately, I can’t even open the app. Update please!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Impressively educational, and entertaining.Didn't expect much, but I am very impressed with the app. Highly recommended for those who wants to test / improve their vocabulary..Version: 1.0.0
✓ NotificationsI like the app. It’s friendly use. I hope it has a Notification function that pops up on my screen every day the words I have learned. I’d be great!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Almost perfect5 stars for adding the private list feature I wrote in my last review. Now the only issue is the "start learning word" button doesn't always come up on some words and it's really frustrating. This is hands down my favourite vocab builder. PLEASE fix this little bug :).Version: 1.0.1
✓ The best for English learnersWow this app is just worth every single dime. I'm impressed by how fast it builds up my vocabulary in my profession (Law) in just a few days. I get to choose and keep focusing on words with abstract meanings that I could hardly remember without this app. Thank you for creating this!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great app that expanded my vocabularyLove this app! So easy to use and it makes learning fun!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good but . . .I love their website and the gamification of learning vocabulary. I bought the app because their website is not very mobile friendly and I wanted to be able to use the features on my phone. The only complaint I have is that I cannot edit lists on my phone. This is a huge problem for me because I like to add Merriam Webster's Word of the Day podcast's words into a list to learn. It's hard to get on the vocabulary website everyday to do that and I was hoping for easier access on my phone. Please add this feature!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love itI really love this app and website, ive been using it for a long time and find it very useful, however the app hasnt been updated in ages and i really think some things should be optimised and tweaked..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great customer service and contextThey have added the capability to use your own lists! I emailed them as soon as app came out requesting this feature, and they sent a personal email back the next day telling me they had already planned to create this feature and it would be out soon. Within a few days, it was! I also love the context they provide of articles and classic literature, because it isn't, in contrast to most vocabulary learning tools, mind-numbingly dull. You're sort of doubling down on learning. Better than the actual website, in fact..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Fantastic app - requires an update to stop crashingBrilliant way to learn new words. Crashes when you switch away and switch back to the app on the latest iOS. Please also update for iPhone XS Max!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Mediocre 4 stars maxI would and wouldn't recommend. If your school uses it then that is fine but if you are using just to learn vocab words and your school doesn't use it I WOULDN'T recommend. Here is why. I use it for school and my teacher assigns lists so it is easier to learn the coach words by this because we take tests on here to so it is just easier. BUT if you are using it to search up definitions and attempt to make a list for let's say the list of words your teacher gave you, then it starts adding words that they think you wouldn't know. For example, we are reading A Raisin in The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and we have a 35-word list for act one. I am getting words like canon pop up on the learning queue and that is not a word on the original list. I wanted to know one so u read the progress on that word and it said that it added it because it thought I wouldn't know it. That could be nice if your goal is to expand your vocab but if you are learning a specific list it gets annoying quickly. Once again, I would rate it 4 stars max..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Impressive!I downloaded this application about five days prior to providing a reviewing of its efficacy and it has certainly risen to my top 5 list of most valuable applications to have. I speak candidly when I say that my vocabulary has increased exponentially since my first use and continues to grow accordingly. If you are looking to expand your vocabulary you have found the most appropriate approach to do so as this app would be the most apt tool for the job. Enjoy. My review Before this app: Awesome app Def did what I needed it too would have spent more if asked!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ The best appThis is my favorite app. It makes learning new words easy and fun. You can create your own vocabulary lists to learn and master or choose from many other lists based on the subject you want to learn. This app has changed my life. I do have ADHD, but this app keeps me totally engaged in the words. I used to have so many problems with learning, but I am getting better and better everyday thanks to this app. I am forever grateful for all the work the developers put into this and for making it affordable. I highly recommend this app. I haven’t had any problems with it all. If you really want to learn, this is the app to get. It will help you..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Better than the dictionaryIt explains words in a way that is understandable, relatable and relevant. Unlike the dictionary which makes words seem the exact same as their synonyms, it paints all words differently so you know when to correctly use them..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app!Great app to improve your vocabulary and define words. It’s quick, super easy to use, and very, very useful!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ I just can't stop...I have things to do but won't leave my iPhone alone. Very addictive and since I adore reading I can see where this app can open many literary doors. I gave it 4 stars because it seems to lose connection but doesn't necessarily crash. Would like to see a button to add words you want to learn within the operating screen. Love this app. PS My daughter already knows the words she's being given so she is frustrated and needs harder words. I am thinking this is because of her age. However, reading, literacy and grammar are her strengths..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Fantastic app for improving your vocabularyThis is a great app. I just wish it had an offline mode. Allow you to read the content stored locally on the device. It's possible it isn't storing anything locally however. Also it would be great if there was a version for kids..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Purchase the app! No regretsLoveeee this app! 10/10.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very well designedThis app is great and even more user friendly than the web site! Someone reviewed that it was just for high schoolers - not true! It does take some time for the program to learn your level, but stick with it and it will get very challenging! Try creating your own lists if you are impatient. I love that it shows my progress on individual words when I complete a game segment, but I was wish it reminded me which ones I got wrong so I could quickly review them..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Amazing app, but it could be better!I really enjoy using this app to improve my vocabulary. I also use it as a dictionary. A thing that would make this app better though is to have the ability to add words to a list. I like that you can click learn this word, but it'd be really amazing to be able to add the word to a list. Also, the dictionary seems pretty incomplete; there are lots of missing words that could be found on the online version. It'd be wonderful to see the aforementioned things implemented into the app!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great, Difficult but helpfulStick with it through the first rounds of you think it's too easy, the difficulty curve will soon hit you! Well presented, researched and executed app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love it!I use it all the time!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Best dictionary app out thereI’ve been using this app for years. It’s quick, easy to use and the test feature is a fun way to remember those ‘$10 words’, as it were..Version: 1.0.2
✓ ExcellentThought I was fairly literate but learned a few new words already and looks very promising. If you're looking to expand your vocabulary, this is a great choice..Version: 1.0.1
✓ BrilliantExcellent.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Update RequiredApp is not working with the latest software version 14.6 of Apple. It is very convenient app to use with easy to understand explanation and examples..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A must have if you want to Enhance your vocabIt’s a great app as you can learn words in an effective way. I recommend. The only improvement that could be made is that you should be able to remove words from your learning list..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great practice for SAT!!I am in love with this app. I downloaded it because I wanted to learn some words for the SAT and I love how it is designed! The repetition, awards, and encouragement really helps and makes me want to learn more and continue using this app. Almost daily I'm on it and trying to use the words that I learned on a daily basis. I love how you can choose your own words to learn and how there are pre-made vocabulary lists. With all this vocabulary, I don't feel so artless* anymore! *one of the many words I learned! If you are debating buying this app, DO IT. It's so helpful!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Awesome!I'm gonna write a 'terse' review here. I just downloaded the app and played with it for a about three days. Some things that would make it better for my personal use. 1. I like to learn in parts. I can study one part, or list, In the case of this app; Leadership is the first list that I want to practice and focus on for about a week or two; Then I want to move on the the list, "100 words every high schooler should know" for the next couple weeks. - Can we have some sort of queue for lists we want to study at a later time? 2. Option to get daily or weekly push notifications for a word of the day or week. Apple Watch compatibility here would be nice as well. Just a quick read if you're committed to this sort of learning. 3. Complete dictionary and functionality of this app in offline mode. That means everything is stored on the phone and obviously no connection needed to use app. (I would pay extra for this feature !!) This is what I would like to see in future updates. This app is a easy and efficient way to expand your vocabulary. I use this app for 15 minutes everyday during my first break at work. The repetitiveness and game like aspect of this dictionary is great for learning new words and how to use them. I use it as much as I use duolingo so if you like that, then you'll love this app. It will make you a better speaker over the long haul if you commit to it. Not too "terse" after all.. but reasonable. 😄.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great service and app, but some obvious improvements can be made...First of all, the app runs nicely on both my iPad mini and iPhone and the service itself is brilliant... a great way to improve your vocab in a fun way. However, I'm not really sure why the selection buttons and text have been made so small, especially on the ipad. Those little circles are really not great targets and I can't help but notice the spare football field of real estate on my screen. Use some thumb sized buttons and fill the screen with text!!! That's why I've dropped one star. Otherwise, excellent..Version: 1.0.1
✓ I've waited for this app a zillion years!This is an amazing app and totally worth buying. It fills the gap between dictionaries and flash card apps. Very effective method of learning words and phrases. This said, I must add that it needs improvement in both performance and features. Most importantly, the ability to add words to user lists. This is available in the web app but it's not yet implemented in ios version. And I have waited for a couple of months for the update to come. I feel a little dissapointed about this. Anyway Thanks for the great app and still looking forward to seeing better versions.Version: 1.0.1
✓ JayOne of the best tools for building vocabulary, especially the past that provides examples where the "word" being looked-up is used in a sentence..Version: 1.0.1
✓ One thing I wish they would addI really like this app. The thing I wish they would add is the quick erase option in the search bar. Many times I’ve made mistakes in spelling a word I’m looking up and it’s laborious to back space the entire word in the search bar to start over. Most search boxes have this option. Please add a quick erase option to the search bar. Otherwise, this app is extremely helpful. I really like how they give multiple examples of a word in use so it makes difficult words more easily understood. I use it often..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app!Definitely worth the money. Great to spend a few minutes here and there improving your vocab. It's amazing how often you notice a new words once you've learnt it..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Simply the best app to more be creative with words and being open minded.The best app to learn new words everyday and have an open mind and have your mind from nonsense games out there, that wastes your time only. Definitely I recommend to everybody, but specially for those whom are foreigners like myself. It gives the options to learn and focus more on those words you need the most. And perhaps some change may need but maybe that could be adding the options from changing language to others so don't have the need leave the app but have one app open only, that would definitely save lot of times and money. Congratulation to the creator of this and for being so benevolent to share his creativity..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A bit slow sometimesThis app is absolutely incredible. The one thing I would say, is that the app tends to be a little slow. Other than that, I recommend it to anyone..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Half black screen troubleHaving a display problem with half of the screen shows black by using an iPad pro..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good app but needs to update for iOSI used this app every morning for 5 minutes to help me learn new words and found it super effective! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it for the last few weeks because it needs to be updated for the current version of iOS. It would be great if they could do this ASAP! Thanks!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ UpdateThis app needs to be updated to the latest iOS version, I can’t use it anymore it won’t let me. Please fix it.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great but....Best app I've found for looking up words, saving then words, and improving vocabulary. But there are some words it doesn't have and there are some little things, possibly glitches, that are inexcusable and frankly annoying. For example, copy and paste appears to be disabled. This is an essential feature in a dictionary app and should work flawlessly. Even with these issues, I still use this as my main dictionary/vocabulary improvement app so definitely get it if that's what you're looking for..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great for improving vocabularyThis is my favorite app & website for learning new vocabulary. The words are well explained and there are diverse quizzes for each word that target different aspects of understanding and usage. Content is great but the app is a bit glitchy. When you look up words during play, the definition becomes off centered. Also swiping left after you look up a word during play pulls up a page from a previous definition. What I want to do is to return to play mode..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great appThis app has helped me to understand words that I took for granted. It teaches me a whole new vocabulary, and how to properly use it to my full advantage..Version: 1.0.1
✓ It’s a good app but can be improvedI feel the user interface is not fully optimized with IOS and as matter of fact I think the quality of written words are not good and a bit blurry which puts me off and besides if there were more examples not just excerpts from articles that sometimes is uncomprehensive , instead I suggest using practical examples exactly like Longman dictionary does the examples in Longman are really good and clear. in short the app is amazing , keep up the good work!..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Difficult but entertainingIt does not just provide words that extend your vocabulary - whatever your starting point is. It re-tests you until you know the words and then makes sure the knowledge does not go stale..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very useful and funRecommend for those who want to speed ip their learning process. Noted a couple of issues but overall great..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good way to learn vocabularyIf you don't read fiction books like me, this app is a good way to pass time and expand your vocabulary.Version: 1.0.1
