I LOVE the words of the day because they actually challenge and stretch my vocabulary. However, I got a new phone (Galaxy S22) and now can't get notifications. I'm told this app doesn't send notifications. Yet every time I open the app, it wants me to change my settings to get notifications. It's just a vicious cycle! I see others have the same problem. For now, I get the emails instead. I will look into the widget.

I don't know why, but they've stopped sending notifications to my phone for the Word/Synonym of the Day. I couldn't even find the permission to send notifications in the app settings or in settings overall. The app won't even show up in settings. It's weird. Is anyone else having this problem? Edit: So it's considered a system app so I showed system apps and when I tried to turn on the notifications for the app it said it's blocked. I've never had this problem before.

Sorry to hear you've had trouble with notifications. We've seen a few reports from folks in Android 13; we'll add your review to the issue report we've filed about this, for our app team to investigate. In the meantime, to get that Word of the Day you can either just open the app or add the widget to your device's screen. Thanks for using our app.

I love this app. As someone that enjoys having a broad and accurate vocabulary and that writes a lot of business-related emails, it's great. I also just saw that the upgrade that takes away ads and adds rhymes, example sentences, and more is only $4. Not a subscription like everything else is now. I love that. Fantastic! More apps need to do that.
