Ratings and reviews

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.

I paid for the premium version but I don't get the daily notifications. The app opens the next days word too early when I just want to browse previous words. If you look at a word definitiom from the previously used words in a-z list and then go back to the list, it starts back at A again. There is no back to where you were. This makes reading the old word definitions impossible without losing your place. They did not respond to my email for a refund due to the app not working.
