Ratings and reviews

I think so far this app is really good. I'm a proficient reader and was 5 grades ahead of my peers as a child... I've selected "wrong" answers at level one because they are without context. For example, Constraint means "limit" but I selected tightness. Clearly the word was chosen because it can be used that way. I think someone honing English may be confused by this type of oversight. I just started so I'll see how it goes.

Very good. Simple interface - in a good way - makes learning the meanings of words painless, even fun. The level of randomness, and the amount and timing of repetition of words is excellent. There are a lot of words but I feel like there could be even more; there are just so many words in the language! All that said, what we were really looking for was prep for the SSAT (and in the fall, the ISEE). My son is working with the SAT words for now.

The design is more geared for pattern recognition of multiple choice answers rather than actually learning definitions. No option to conceal answers and no dual-sided flashcards so you're more likely to forget. You sometimes get 10+ new words in a row before a review, ensuring you've completely forgotten anything recently learned; and sometimes you'll get a brand new word almost back to back, which is almost just as bad. Also needs parts of speech, and many pronunciations are still missing.
