WordUp - Vocabulary Builder Reviews

by PlsFixBug

I gave it a five star originally because it was close to what I dreamed a language app would provide but I made a terrible horrible mistake for purchasing a 12-month subscription!! After enjoying WordUp for a month or so, WordUp became garbage after their failed attempts to improve WordUp , instead of becoming better it wouldn’t even allow me to access my subscribed content. It’s so incredibly disappointing and what a waste of money, and the tech support didn’t help either. So pay for it if you don’t care about wasting your money

Hello, after your last two consecutive updates (I think both are the same update) your app doesn’t work now. When you open app, white screen shows up and there is nothing after that. I was in the middle of the hard working in your app and now I’m out of my schedule. Please fix your program and we can continue to enjoy our study. By the way, your is really the best in the vocabulary learning and memorizing for intermediate and higher level students. I am looking forward to seeing my app working again.

It’s making me crazy! When I’m trying to uncover the words I know/don’t know, I drag the word to its respective box and they don’t stay put! I have to repeatedly drag the word to the box and then it just pops right back into the center. Once I finally get one to “stick”, I then hold the next word over it for a second and hope it stays in the box too. Sometimes it does, most times it doesn’t.

I’m going to try it out for a few more days to see if I can figure out a good technique. If it doesn’t improve, I’m deleting. It’s so annoying to have to drag each word a million times before it stays.

The way of learning, the resources that shown for each word, and literally everything about WordUp are really great. I have just addicted to it and use it everyday.
So I decided to become a PRO member by the 3-months subscription plan to use Movie/TV-show feature and unfortunately, it didn’t work. I’ve searched for some tv shows like younger, friends, Big Bang theory, some movies like spiderman and every time I selected the episode, WordUp crashed or stuck on waiting or show the message episode not found. I don’t even know what this part of WordUp looks like! Is it really developed?
If this problem solve, this app really deserves more than 5 stars.
Right now I just feel I lose my money and do not recommend the PRO version to anybody.

When I first downloaded WordUp it was great, in just a few weeks I even upgraded to the Essential subscription because I knew it was something I would want to practice daily. More recently this app made a change and it’s been for the absolute worst. I use to be able to test myself and practice words from my “Learning” bucket for as long as I’d like, 5-10 minutes. Now I can only test myself with a small handful of words from the “Learning” bucket and it then moves me to explore new words. The reason why I downloaded this was to learn new words and practice them over time so the repetition makes them more familiar. Now I am just shuffling through 10 new words a day without any repetition. Would absolutely not recommend unless they fix. If and when they fix it is a complete recommend.

Every time I select a movie it gets stuck and I need to force close WordUp to make it function. Weird, this bug 🐛 has been wearing down WordUp for months and the developers haven't had worked to fix the issue.

Otherwise, I would say I have left every other app on the store for WordUp. Seriously the way it makes you improve from your current level is practical.

I chose WordUp as my main app to study vocabulary and I'm paying for WordUp too. I find WordUp useful and the idea of creating WordUp is great. Completing the knowledge map is a good measure for building my vocabulary. So I'm satisfied to some extent.

However, WordUp has a lot of bugs, and although I brought many of them to the support team's attention, I don't see a significant attempt in solving them. The critics that I had remained in WordUp , although I reached out to them many times.

I also had some suggestions to improve WordUp , and all of them were neglected.

At this point, I keep WordUp for myself, but if I could go back in time, I would choose another app as my primary means of studying vocabulary.

I hope the support team starts working on ALL the bugs and values to the users’ suggestions. You still have all of my emails!

I purchased WordUp for my kids to improve their vocabulary. They love watching the video clips - which definitely deepen their understanding of each word.
There is a bug though - every time a video clip is played on my iPhone, WordUp freezes. Please help fix it. Otherwise I will give five stars!

by Sdanielan

I loved WordUp ever since I started using it, however, now it’s not working properly, I guess since the last update where you have to watch ads, I don’t have a problem with watching the ads since I know it’s a way of giving support to the developers, but it gets lagged now, it just showed a message saying the add couldn’t be loaded so I can’t access the option I want to use, it stops working sometimes, I wish they could fix these bugs, so I can enjoy using WordUp for a long time.
As another user said, I want to give it 5 stars but I’ll only do it when I see the bugs fixed

by TheMHMD

WordUp doesn’t have any option to A way to manage different meanings of a word. Like, a word has 10 meanings and I know 9 of them. There is no way to separate the one I don't know from the others, so every time I’ve gotta get through all of’em! Frustrating!
It would be great if we only could add a star or change the color or anything to separate that meaning/meanings from the rest.

This is a great app, but unfortunately it has problems with iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd gen), first it doesn’t support landscape mode (almost anyone who bought a big iPad wants to use it in landscape mode, just like normal laptop). Second it doesn’t even fill all the space in portrait mode and has lots of blank space at the right and left of the screen. Clearly it hasn’t been developed for big 12.9 iPad lineup.

by Bodacious Beth

It collects the words you know, the words to learn, and the words you are working on. It is easy to navigate and has options and games that make learning all the more engaging.

It also sets goals and I have not seen any glitches in my usage.

Fantastic!

by NurgulG

I think to buy the pro version, but sometimes WordUp was frozen. Will it be constantly? Or could you explain why it happened sometimes? I love this up but it drives me crazy. It is all the time freeze after 1 min using

I’ve been diligently using WordUp and it has worked wonders for improving my vocabulary. You’re able to hear the pronunciation of all words by male and female; in addition, they have pictures and sentences, which I are beneficial. Overall, I highly recommend!

I have never written a review for an app. Hopefully you will find my review to be helpful. I am extremely satisfied with Word Up and I found it profoundly useful with excellent customer service. I suggested to add the synonym for each vocabulary and it was updated the next day. I am impressed with their ability to resolve my request promptly. It’s been a few weeks since I downloaded WordUp . I tested a few days than I decided to purchase the full year version to get more functionalities out of it. It’s fun, it’s interesting and more importantly I am learning new words everyday! I would recommend WordUp to anyone who wants to improve their vocabulary. Keep up the good work!!!

by TayTayCW

There are very few apps I actually like but this is one of them.
It pronounces the word for you, provides you with examples in articles and videos where people used the word, and tests you on the word 1-3 days later. Always keep growing your vocabulary. LOVE!

by Hodaomidmoazzam

I really enjoyed the application. If you once read the dictionary you can not forget the word because of many examples, movies and songs,....
I recommend it to all my friends.
I hope to buy premium version with a lower price since in my country 100$ costs an arm and a leg🥺

by Ali.Farhadi

This is the best app for learning words that I’ve seen, and it can be better if you improve the push notifications system. For example, when I say to WordUp that reminds me this word tomorrow, I expect that tomorrow I get a notification for that word, or even better if that notification reminds me of all the words that I should review.

by Thirdplaceandy

As a professional I was looking for an app that could help improve my English writing and vocabulary skills. WordUp has been incredible not only for the interface but also how it connects with content in the media so you can put the words in contexts.

I highly recommend WordUp.

by X4vpn

This got to be the best app, it was so hard to find a good app that actually keep showing you the same words until you get it, it will make hard words you learn at school but forget it very quick stay in your head at all times I’ve actually enjoyed WordUp so much and don’t plan on quitting, plus if the free parts of the apps this amazing imagine spending money for other features of the apps like games, you could use WordUp literally for entertainment while bettering your vocabulary. Keep up the great work with app rocks 🔥

by Dagmarette

WordUp works great except I cannot get the sound feature to work. My volume is up all the way but it doesn’t seem to play any noise when I hit the sound button. Help!

by Adrialexis_124

I was using WordUp but suddenly stop it to work, I reset my phone but the problem continues. I like WordUp but fix the problems, also some buttons don’t work

by Astroa7m

I’ve been always looking for apps to increase my depth of vocabs, and I’ve tried so many apps, but by the end it was all similar with all that boring teaching technique. Word app is the best app I’d recommend it to all levels trainees. What’s good about it that it gives you a try to get word app pro for free without and cc application or payment.

Dear manager or owner

You did well, the only thing to say is that you need to provide an option or function in your future update in order to save , mark or label some of idioms in somewhere to practice them more and more! Thank you very much.

by Nazanin.RN

WordUp is exactly what I need to improve my vocabulary! It’s really helpful and I love the fact that it gives lots of examples in different forms (like song lyrics and quotes). Thank you so much for making WordUp. It has made my learning process much easier and is my favorite app right now ❤️

by Aligh6990

Wow. WordUp is insane. I have been searching for a perfect app for learning English for years. And finally I found it. Word up, a great team which can really have a great effect on our vocabulary. Keep it up and make it better and better. Good luck

by Mohammad Mgs

I have been using Memrise for more than two years, but WordUp has more effective features to help you keep words in your mind.

by Mehdi Nami

Unfortunately WordUp has not been working since ios 13 update

by Shirinwl

I have struggled with learning English vocabulary for years but WordUp is everything I’ve been looking for this whole time. I can’t thank the creators enough 🙏🏻

by Arian 1972

by Vast_Kyle

Trust me, you can enjoy while you building your vocabulary with WordUp.

Glad I found WordUp. It has a lot of examples with the words clipping from tv, news,quotes. I like it even though it has small bugs such as stop responding or can’t back to main page sometimes. Overall it’s really good!
