Ratings and reviews

My favourite app; I do the activities every day. There are a couple of features where I would appreciate some updates though: The flashcards feature would be better with a synonym\antonym option, as well as an option to include etymology. Second, I love the daily articles and the question. However, the answer to the question isn't always easy to find in very long articles.

I found this app a few years ago, and interact with it daily. There's a wealth of information, I wouldn't know where to start! The top-notch word games keep my mind exercised as well as help me improve my vocabulary + understanding of my language, as I have taught English as a second language, as a teaching aid, it's my favorute! Thank you so much for making this app available for free, then using my points from my activities therein, to turn points to $, that's used for hunger relief to needy.

FYI; "Send Feedback" in drop-down menu isn't working. (This isn't a complaint). (, thank you for responding, when I click the drop down menu and click on send feedback, it just gives me a list of apps in which to share... Kindly advise if that is where I'm to do the feedback.)
