Ratings and reviews

Pros :- It gives u strong motivation when needed. Vocab enhancing videos and practice. Most of the videos tells deep about many other subjects like geography , historical importance , lifestyle of different places on the world. Cons :- It has unlimited stock of videos and some unecessary stuff in which u shouldn't get trapped coz it wastes time.

I love this app. It has just so many helpful features that i cant mention them here. It even displays a new word on your notification screen for you to learn & to increase your vocabulary, you can even set your level of difficulty so you don't get easy words. It would have been better if it would have shown an example with the word but i can work with it

This app is amazing! The effort that has been put to caption everything is worth of applause. The catalogue too is great. This app does deserve more than 4.5 overall stars for the efforts. Why I reduced a star is because sometimes, the app fails to load the thumbnails of the videos. Only first few thumbnails would be visible and no matter how fast the Internet is the thumbnails won't appear. Thus, I have to restart the app to make it look fine. Fix this and I will update my review to 5 stars! Kudos to the developers!
