Ratings and reviews

Endearing, but not great. This app is a reskin of Webster's WOTD. Humorously there are some spelling errors in the app ("may be" instead of maybe, "revise" instead of review and more) likewise humorously today's word lacked a definition altogether and provided only part of speech and usage example. Often a load error prevents me from seeing the word from the notification. All and all not so well done, yet...somehow charming.

To me, the best part is the "Did you know?" section which goes into the words' origins. So, not only do you get definitions, antonyms, synonyms, and pronunciations, reliably delivered each day, but it's utterly fascinating to learn about where the words came from, and if/how they've evolved. I have found no other dictionary in Play that does this so well. And you can mark them as favorites for studying, too. I'm a native English speaker and am seeing words I've never seen before. Well done!

Would be nice if, when I got the notification to see the word of the day, it didn't always always revert to the word from July 24 when clicking and opening the notification. Also, for an app that is focused on building vocabulary, how did they manage to miss, on the weekly summary, "Let's REVISE this week's words"?? Are we changing the words? No, we're REVIEWING them. The word for your word app is REVIEW. Hard to take an Illiterate vocabulary app seriously. This is why I stay off the play store
