    Free app, but to see anything or use it, you have to pay to unlock the decks. Sooo misleading.

    Just wish it were a simple yes or no to repeat the word again instead of a rating.

    I enjoy using this app and found it so useful that I bought the full version. definitely worth it imo. a few suggested improvements: - allow audio playback of each word (adds another dimension for learning ) - when listing synonyms of words, use words learned from the other vocab sets already in the app (repetition/ review learning) - add antonyms for words (another way to help learning)
  • Understanding

    I agree with another review on how the app can improve by adding more examples to further help the user get a better all around understanding of the words.
