Ratings and reviews

such an awesome app!!! learning with ao3 fics was always my dream and I want to thank developers for it coming true! to put it in other words, you get no ads, absolutely free app, where you can - open every ao3 fic (works like a browser); - have your own dictionary with words you've learned from fics; - you can also practice it with similar to Quizlet cards system It is so so awesome, admiring it so so much!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

I love this app so much, I never realised before how many words I only understood from context, but didn't actually know. Now I'm actively learning them while laughing at what crazy context they actually came from. Learning English used to be very uptight and school-like thing, but now it's fun and enjoyable :) also the app made me realise how much I read. Oh and the achievements are so cool and cute! So yeah, I love the app, thank you

Very useful! I've learned so much English reading fanfics, and this app makes it even easier and more practical, encouraging me to add more and more words. I'm happy to know I'm enjoying a story I like and learning at the same time. Thank you so much for developing it!
