I just have a passing interest in etymology and this app is like the "thing" that I've been looking for my entire life to explore this topic the way I want to. I even bought the Premium version almost immediately because of how polished it is. Just being able to bounce and bump around the different words and their associations and see the visual links is very satisfying. Excellent work on this app ♥️

Great app! Easy to use: I can glance at the word and its brief etymological description in my notification panel, and if I want to explore that word further, I can click to go to the app for more on that word than one could ever dream of (!), I can add it to a favorite list(!),search for other words, click to see the word(s) of the day, and ohhhhh, sooooo much more! (Read the About page!!) Yes, my friend, you can nerd out on words here in a fun and easy way!!! And Premium's just $10/year!!!

It's a great app that not only help me to learn English , but also motivate my interest in some other languages and cultures. I have a little suggestion, could you add a function to let the fonts' size adjustable? For example, make pages can be stretched. I think it'll be helpful for people whose eyesight is not so good. Thanks very much.
