Ratings and reviews

The app is good. At least, I could find almost what I wanted. Whilst, there are still some figure of speech and devices that need to be added to make it a superb and notable app and as well as at least an example per figure of speech and devices. I hope the app get updated soon.

Second to none. I thought when the size of the App is big, then the App is a good one. But it's otherwise with this. It's small size danger. It's fully loaded not only with literary terms but with a dictionary. Excellent

Excellent app. It has great collection of literary terms, which of course will be increased as well. Only tging missing is a daily reminder for daily learning which I could switch off as well within app... great app
