  • Can’t save words you want to learn

    This app forces you into learning pre-determined lists of words, so if you’re attempting to look up and save words you want to learn yourself, get a different app. The most frustrating thing is that it doesn’t allow you to save a word and build your own list.
  • Amazing

    Hi! I really enjoy this app, however it could use an update! My boyfriend can’t even download it on his phone because of how outdated the app is. I would like to recommend this app to other people, but until it’s updated it doesn’t really seem like I can. Please update so more people may use this app!

    This app is very productive. You can put lists on and it make school easy because you just have to put vocabulary words and make a list. You get a ton of little badges every time you master a word or something like that. You get a point on questions and you use that to increase your rank. There are a ton of word lists pre made and there are spelling bees and jams and it is also competitive.

    Searched everywhere for a dictionary that could save my word list online and this was the only gem I found. The fact that I get to quiz myself on the saved words is more than a cherry on top

    I’m really loving the app. I can’t figure out however how to add words to my lists in the app that I started on Vocabulary.com website.
  • Great game to play casually

    As others have said, it may not be the optimal learning tool for a student/education looking for certain word lists and a form to track their learning . But it certainly is a fun and effective for adults looking to diversify their everyday vocabulary. Very easy to play at a few seconds at a time. It has a progress report every 10 words so you’ll when you had a decent full.
  • One of best dictionaries

    The app is clumsy and could be improved. E.g. you can’t copy text from the app, you can’t erase entire word from text box, you need to erase letter by letter, etc. Also I don’t like that sometimes when you minimize app it switches the word
