Could be better

I like this app a lot. Its very fun and its a wonderful dictionary, but it has different "playlist" of terms to learn, theres just not that many. Youd think there would be more playlists of vocab on this app

A blessing

Been using it for years, and recommend it to everyone I meet.

Great tool

I can see using this with my students

Awesome app

This is a great app if you are wanting to expand your vocabulary. It is designed in a fun and challenging way. The reference material is very current and interesting.

Engaging, Exceptional, Enremitting

This app excels at fulfilling its goal of teaching vocabulary. Its simple to use yet it utilizes complex techniques to foster vocabulary retainment and usage. The list option is helpful for those learning subject-specific words and its laid back design allows me to choose which words I want to learn and the ones on which I want to extend my focus. Frankly, I find it easier to articulate my ideas with others around me. It does have a few easily amendable quirks; some words arent learnable and some arent available. It does allow us to suggest new words to add, but they could improve by making that more accessible for those who need words like microclimate. All in all, this app is engaging, exceptional, and unremitting! Thanks vocabulary.com! Update: Still an engagingly enthusing app; however, I highly recommend complete user autonomy over list management.

Exactly what is necessary for a vocabulary building app.

What I like most about this app, and perhapsthe website it is derivative of, is the comprehensive, often clever, definitions for the words. They have humor and voice which seem to help in retention. Id say this app and its parent website are the finest tools for vocabulary building! Cheers!

Add to list button?!

Why is there not a add to list button?! Thats the main reason Ive purchased this app! Fix it please. The mechanics are really good. I hope it can actually change my situation with vocabulary.

The wonder of words

I was just saying to my self that I wanted to learn a few words a week, just like when we were in school. This is an invaluable tool to learning words in the form of a fun game. No reason not to stick with it!!!

Terrible

As a teacher Im appalled that this app cost anything. The words are archaic and some of the definitions are just plain wrong. When I wrote the company about this the reply was in broken English. I would not waste your money on this app.

Great GRE study tool!

Ive been using the app to learn GRE vocab words. Its literally been a lifesaver- so much better than flash cards!

Amazing app

One of the best app to learn new words. Its strength lies in its ability to connect the word with every day context.

Good app but has issues.

Playing through it for the first time and seeing what all the things do; "Word in the Wild" has a real flaw: apparently pulled from news outlets online for use of the word in real life, it often mistakes words that are also names. So predictably, instead of heath the word, you get what Heath told someone at the NY Times. Still a fun app but it has room for improvement :)

Fine but online use only

Ive put so much hope on this app, and once again Im left disappointed: everything is available for online use solely. What if I want to practice my lists in the elevator? What if I have run out of traffic? Proved to be nice but still a huge frustration.

Enjoyful !

Im really mad about this app. The more I play it , more I fall in love with it

Need update

Need update!

Wonderful App

If you want to build your vocabulary this is the right app for you. Its fun, its complete. You will learn a lot and fast. The only thing I think this app needs is a reminder so you dont forget to use it. Note to seller: upgrade the app, put a reminder and " word of the day" option. Thank you! 100% recommended

Good app but not made for iPad

This is a great app but wish it was designed for iPad screens. Just doesnt feel right. It almost feels like web interface has been translated into the user interface for this iPad app.

So far a great product

I just installed the app and am happy so far. I have very high hopes for this app and am glad I stumbled upon it.

Cool

I love this app its awsome

fantastic!

This app is useful. Yeah its pricey but def helpful for a person who wants to expand their vocabulary. ;)
