I absolutely love this app. It has helped me so much in my everyday inclusion of vocabulary that has been out of reach in the past. I recommend that everyone get this app, regardless of where you might be in your journey. I started with less than strong vocabulary and now have become quite proficient. It's easy and convenient on the phone as an app and premium is manageable and cheap. Please do yourself a favor and get this app, use it, stretch your mind and enjoy..

Beyond too many ads. I opened app to read the definition of the word of the day and got an ad. I waited, then read, then clicked random, and got another ad. Then I needed to put my phone down and when I came back to close out of the last ad, it played another ad. Also widget doesn't show the definition, making you open it to see ads.

Bring back the features of the old app before the update. I want the ability to search words and save my favorite words. Why take away something good?

Hi Nora Fentress, Unfortunately, the feature isn’t coming back anytime soon. As strange as it sounds for a vocabulary app, very few people were actually using it, which led to the decision to remove it. Lexi from Word of the Day
