Great words with helpful examples.
This app has been one of THE MOST productive and useful tools I’ve found to date. I especially appreciate how it recycles words throughout the exercise to ensure familiarity. Moreover, the examples are clever, sometimes humorous and often a reflection of our current social and political climate (one reviewer of the app has called the examples “liberal.” I call them accurate). Lastly, the option to revisit former exercises is, again, helpful with increasing retention of the the words and their definitions. Although I’m not sure how supportive the app is for testing purposes, I believe it’s an overall great tool to build a robust vocabulary or revisit words that aren’t frequently used in our daily life.

Great vocabulary builder
This is a great vocabulary builder! I have learned a lot of new words and it is a great help for those preparing for college exams. It has different levels of difficulty depending on your needs and skill. However, it would be nice if the full definition of the word and a label for part of speech were given for each word in the answer (such as noun, verb, adjective, etc). Some of the synonyms used for answers can be slightly tricky and a full definition of the word would help understand the word better, especially for words with more than one meaning. I like how this app revisits words that you answer incorrectly and makes learning vocabulary a game. Great app!

I love this app!
This app is great! Last year in 7th grade I never got that good of test results on my vocabulary quizzes. This year, on my first quiz, I only got one wrong! At my school if you score 27% out of 30 or higher then you take the next quiz early. I didn’t do that well on the next quiz because I didn’t recognize many words because like I said before I was taking the quiz before we got to study them. I did better than I thought BECAUSE a lot of words on this app happened to be my vocabulary words! It’s easy for me to learn these words because of the way the app is. THANK YOU APP MAKING PEOPLE for helping me get my best score on vocabulary quiz EVER!!!
