Written by GRE experts
The entire GRE wordlist is selected and defined with usage examples by Magoosh’s expert tutors, led by Chris Lele. He has been teaching the GRE for more than 10 years, runs a popular vocabulary series on YouTube and he’s also written an eBook on vocabulary. He is unbeatable in Scrabble, or any other word game for that matter.

Review that really sticks
Academic research has found that memories are formed by repeated exposure to new information, so Magoosh’s flashcard app uses a spaced repetition system. Words you are learning will reappear frequently (occurring less frequently the better you know them) and words you already know won’t be repeated. The word list is also culled to only 1000 so that you don't waste time learning unimportant words.

Love it! No complaints whatsoever! A must have for any GRE aspirant. It allows you to learn new words at your own pace and keeps shuffling and repeating the words untill u master it. Apart from the word meaning it also provides its sentence usage which is great! However i wish there was a feature to bookmark words that u find hard to remember.

Kritika Matolia

Great app, good example sentences. Mostly a good way to remember words as they repeat but for some decks, I feel the repeating pattern isn't very great. When the words come after a very long time one tends to forget, so I think a faster repeating mechanism would be better. Also some given meaning aren't Very accurate when compared to meanings in other dictionaries

Matthew Pietrus

The app is easy to use and the words picked appear on the test. That said, I have two suggestions: 1) sometimes when I use the app in landscape and revert back to portrait, the text remains large and unreadable. I must quit the app and restart. Small bug. 2) it would wonderful if there was the option to view a list of words in each set. Sometimes when I try to remember a word, I have to first try and remember in which deck it is which I'll admit hasn't yet happened.

nobodyinparticula100

Perfect app. I learnt only the common and basic decks, and those were good enough for me. All important words were covered. One feature that I felt should be introduced is resetting of individual deck. I had to reset all decks to re visit the words already mastered. Otherwise, the same words kept reappearing in a loop. But brilliant otherwise. Thank you Magoosh.

Mahnoor Bhatti

What a handy and useful app! I don't have much time to sit and go through a book for vocabulary but this app makes for good learning before going to sleep every night. I like how it keeps repeating words in a deck so they really stick in my mind and ive noticed a significat improvement in my sentence construction since I've started learning from the app.

Subham Burnwal

This is the best app in store. With a simplistic style and a very light toned color adds to the simplicity of the app. The algorithm of the appearance/re-appearance of the flashcards is just amazing. Such an excellent app without any cost is heartily appreciated. I just wish to continue to write in adulation of this app, yet feel equally compelled to not make it a long prolixity to prevent from users to read this review.

Good, but could be better ~Pros: good interface, easy to use, variety of words at different skill levels. ~Cons: some repeated words, even at different levels, and, most significantly, no way to track words you had difficulty with between sets! This is huge, as it makes it difficult to track problem words once you've "learned" them once

Deepesh Bhowmik August 1, 2016

Great App but... Extremely helpful app. But the UI needs work. I'm having a hard time with the interface. I've not been able to put any of the words for review. I can't figure out how to do that. Additional, the progress made needs to be saved wherein one can revise the words studied the previous day before moving on to the next word.

ashu adhikari June 30, 2016

Very good Well you cannot list the words which is very tiresome at times. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE DECKS CANNOT BE RESET FOR REVISION. I know there is an option but it is no good. It does not work. I wish you would restore the previous version where we could reset the levels too.

September 18, 2016

Extremely helpful I've looked through gre vocab books and these words are the same ones. The plus is that this is free and I don't have to carry flash cards around, I can just use my phone and start off where I left off. They also make the words you mark as "don't know" appear again and again which can get annoying sometimes but for the most part it helps you master the words.

Katherine Javier January 8, 2017

Good tool to always keep you thinking on the GRE Easy to use, and also allows you to prove your skills against other app users. One think to improve are the examples provides for each words. Sometimes they define a new word with a tricky word, so it's hard to learn these type of words because only one example is provided.

shravani pande July 19, 2016

Very nice! Can improve. The app is very nice indeed. I feel there is a scope of improvemrnt in one aspect. Suppose I am going through a deck, I have learnt a few words. And suppose if I happen to only remember a word and not its meaning, it should have an option so that I can search for the word and see its meaning. In the current case, I need to remember in which deck the word which I am thinking of is present in, plus i need to go through the whole deck. Pronounciations of the words given is also beneficial.

Dawn M August 20, 2016

Pretty good. After using the app for several hours last night and "mastering" the first deck, I wish there was an option to see the definition first. I believe this would help with really mastering the vocabulary because you would have to not only remember the word, but also remember how to spell it too. As I went through the deck I noticed I was recognizing the words without really focusing on their spelling or pronunciations.

Rohan Mutalik June 22, 2017

This app is very helpful, but... Where do the definitions come from? I looked up a couple of words, and the definitions are different. For example, 'grovel' on Magoosh means 'to show submission or fear', whereas on Google it is defined as 'obsequious' (or sucking up to people).

Joseph Defrank November 3, 2016

Almost prefect The premise of the app is simply ingenuous because it is ingeniously simple. A word is displayed, prompting one either to hit the green know or red don't know buttons once the definition is displayed. My only complaint is that the format should resemble more of the GRE sample questions and/or have to choose the correct word or definition from a few choices. Even so, this app is probably a 9/10.

Richa Tibrewal June 8, 2017

Its an awesome app to prepare the vocabulary for gre. But whenever I try to reset the deck, its takes forever. The decks are not reset. So i need to uninstall and then again install the app. The developers must fix this issue of resetting all decks. P.S. I did not encounter this problem in the ipad's app.

Dishita Shah August 18, 2016

Very helpful app for GRE prep There is one thing I would like to mention, instead of flipping the card where we get an answer to the word, it should rather have been learning with multiple choice options. So that it's clear that one knows the word or doesn't.

Helen Benton July 12, 2016

No way to "review" This app is pretty good for learning new words, but has no way to review a deck (i.e. go through an entire deck in one shot with no repeats) without resetting all the decks. A simple review button next to Practice This Deck would make it easy to review already leaned decks in a few minutes, instead of seeing the same words repeatedly, or having to reset every time.

Astitv Nagpal June 24, 2017

Great way to improve vocab. One suggestion: plz make the app go full screen on launch. There are many activities happening on the task bar which kinda ruins the focus. It's a very trivial task to do but will turn out to be very effective for those using the app. Thanks :)

Tatiana Perilla April 8, 2017

I really like this app and feel like it is helping. I think it would be nice if it gave you the option to add your own note to the back of the flashcard, something you know will help you remember it. I got the word inundate while walking my dog and said to myself, "Finlay is inundating the grass." It helped me remember the definition, to flood or overwhelm. Sometimes I forget these but seeing it on the back of the card with the definition would help.

Mad Daku August 22, 2016

Combined with vocabulary builder, these apps are essential for GRE takers in their smartphone. can say goodbye to big-heavy dictionary and use your cellphone instead. Would love if they update with new feature to make your own set for some word that are scattered around several decks to focus on user weakness.

Rishab Vaishya October 20, 2016

Great app Words selection is great. Unknown words repeat itself. Progress can be saved online but in reinstalling the app i observated all reviewing words became mastered words. If you can add a feature of reading out words and sentences that would be nice. Overall good app and recommended.

Stephen Synchronicity August 25, 2016

Learn vocabulary on the go The GRE Flashcards app is great for building vocabulary while you have gaps in your day. I often start up the app as I wait for meetings to start etc. The vocabulary words are accessible for everyday conversation and I find myself using them regularly

Chaitanya Kulkarni December 9, 2016

Needs more improvements 1. Algorithm no correctly showing words while revising the words after successfully mastering it. Not all words are displayed for revision. 2. Some innovative approach should be induced for last minute revision of words. I mean like providing additional option to quickly go through the list of words for last minute revision.

James Then August 14, 2017

It's helpful, however it's not like a traditional flashcard app where you can see all the cards in a set. So it's hard to know if you have learned all the words in that set or not. Terrible flaw.

Julia Cox June 8, 2017

I love this app. However, I think there's a bit of information overload and it's hard to remember all of the words even when you have just read the definition.

Anshul Paunikar December 21, 2016

Very easy to use This app is very good and easy to use. The words keep repeating after certain intervals ensuring that you know that word. I request Magoosh team to include images with each word, pronunciation for each word along with synonyms and antonyms.

Yeyme Reyes July 15, 2016

Great for reviewing and practicing for the test while on the go This app excellent for studying on the go. It's simple and easy to use while providing a solid studying tool. I practice on this app while I'm on the train, waiting in line, or while I take a short break at work!

Maria Caballero August 3, 2016

Pretty Cool There should also be a way to use the cards where just the definition is shown initially without the actual word. The flipside of the card would then be the word. This could supplement how the app currently operates & would provide the student a fun alternative method to understanding and committing the vocabulary to memory... it would enable the student to quiz themselves in the "other direction", where the goal is to recall the actual vocabulary word instead of the definition.

Vivek Bose July 6, 2016

Good app but it doesn't sync properly between the Desktop version and the mobile client. It said I had mastered 51/51 in a deck when I was still going through it in the mobile version and had mastered 20/51. Defeats the purpose of the Desktop version if it doesn't sync.

Thanise Marc March 11, 2017

I love Magoosh apps. They provide very simple flashcards that provide the the right amount of information in the back to help you learn and apply the things you've learned. I have both the Vocab and Math apps. I just wish that for the vocab flash cards they'd add the option to hear the words being pronounced. I'm always mispronouncing words on accident; an audible example would spare me from any future embarrassment. (:

Ashay Potnis July 3, 2016

It's fantastic! I loved the way this app keeps showing the words every now and then and ensures that you've REALLY understood the meanings. I never had imagined that I will learn 51 words just in one single day!!

pooja rao August 24, 2017

It's very useful and I absolutely love it! The best part about this is that, it keeps repeating the words until you have mastered it. Also the app comes across as extremely handy, it helped me utilise my time while travelling by helping me learn more.

Rajat Narang January 27, 2017

It's good, just wanted to request for feature. I want to be able to select out words I frequently struggle with and form a separate deck for them, something like 'odd men out' which Chris mentions in one of his vocab videos.

Prateek Khankhoje February 15, 2017

Excellent app.just few glitches. - once a deck is mastered, if I go back to it to review, the same 2-3 words are repeated. All the words should be displayed randomly. -While switching between different apps(with autorotate) it zooms in automatically. Is it just me or others too.if you could fix that, it would be even better. Thnx

Kevin Smith October 18, 2016

Resourceful, but frustrating He app has a ton of words that you can practice for the GRE of all different levels of difficulty. I would recommend it. However, it's frustrating that the words you "don't know" cycle on a loop. Using the advanced 1 section, I found the same 10 words I didn't know repeating themselves. I'm not going to learn a new word by seeing it multiple times in a row. There needs to be an adequate time between learning a new word and testing it to make sure that it has been encoded properly.

Sameer Srivastava July 12, 2016

Nice App To be honest, I didn't know many words before I happen to use this app but now after daily practice on this app I am pretty much updated on vocabulary. Now I have multiple choices for word selection.

Shakeel Vakkil October 9, 2016

Good , can be better It's a good , however once a deck is completed and you review the deck some of the words keep repeating over and over again , this overshadow some important words present in the deck and be missed out. If this can be fixed then , this is probably the best vocabulary improving app

Saurabh Singh July 4, 2016

Reset is not working Hello guys.. Reset is not working. Can you please this as fast as possible.. I am revising again and this will help as in normal same words keep repeating again and again

Nishant Chauhan November 10, 2016

Really good app, BUT... The app is well made. Everything from the interface to the user experience is very good. BUT, THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT PROBLEM: I used it after a few months again, and this time, particular pairs of words keeps repeating back and forth on each deck, continuously show up back and forth, regardless of how many times you answer them. Like on first deck, it shows say 'A', then 'B', then 'A' again and so on. Please fix this ASAP, as it made the app pretty much useless.

What's New

We updated our app icon and did a little maintenance! :)
