Ratings and reviews

I'm a premium subscriber. There is only one game, which is really just a multiple choice quiz. It would be more useful if the quiz was customizable to focus on one topic or my collections. It would be helpful if my collections were easier to edit (e.g., moving words from one collection to another or renaming collections). Fipping through words and their definitions and working through easy multiple choice "games" is not an effective way for me to learn.

I thought the high ratings and popularity meant this was a great vocabulary app. Well, if you're in high school, perhaps, but certainly not if you completed any higher education. At first I liked it enough to pay for it and it's nice that you can select categories and levels, but in an attempt to stop getting words like "absent" (you learn this in elementary school!), I eventually only had expert words selected and still kept getting very basic vocabulary served. I gave up and uninstalled it.

The app is okay but it often (not most of the time but definitely way too frequently) will give a definition for a word that is not correct. It may be kind of close or semi-related but it's almost as if the definitions were written by a person whose first language wasn't English and do not seem to be from an actual dictionary. This happens pretty much every day, and it will also send me repeat words 2-4x per day sometimes.
