This app provides a large volume of words but it s frustrating when marking correct answers incorrect because a word has multiple definitions Words often have multiple definitions and dictionaries will order these definitions based on level of usage say 1 2 and 3 This app will present for example definitions 2 and 3 but mark only definition 3 correct I am very grateful for this app in helping me study but the developers should work to correct this error         Christopher Janes

the good 1 free 2 no ads 3 easy to use 4 good collection of words 5 nice memory reinforcement mechanism u003du003du003du003du003du003d What can be improved 1 all categories seem to be based on the same set of words More variation would be good 2 may want to show context before asking questions since the choices are often ambiguous or even misleading without the context 3 words with multiple meanings should be tested for each meaning if possible overall this is a great app Good job Well done                 Tian Zhao

Just one suggestion Introduce a feature where we can review the last viewed word by swiping right or something The synonym options not just lets you learn two words at a time but also makes you the context Also this lets you navigate between the options and you can analyse why other options aren t correct Also the online game makes it competitive and fun The organization of levels is good as well I personally prefer learning through a game like this instead of flashcards or a book                     ajinkya mehere

I m not studying for the GRE but this has been a useful app for strengthening my vocabulary But I don t believe there are obvious opportunities to go back and study specific words without studying everything in a given section though so it could be improved EDIT More specifically if there were a way to see which words you got wrong in your online matches this app would be perfect for me I love the matches but I wonder if I m really learning much when I forget which words were wrong                 Conor Kosidowski

This is a very good way to remember words But you need to keep on repeating levels to master them I would suggest the developer to add more and more words which are an essential for verbal vocabulary                     Dwij Patel

The app is lucid in the objective Especially I love the quiz part where you can play with anyone out there and whet your skills A small advice to include some pictures describing words with synonyms Moreover the sentences can be made a little easy to understand Thanks                 Himanshu Vairagade

There s a lot of easily available information like synonyms antonyms connotations that can easily be added to the flashcards to make it more useful and easier to learn The short definitions of a word don t help a lot with making connections in the mind to be able to retain that information         Prasoon Varshney

I appreciate the self paced component of this app and I am learning new vocabulary in a way that doesn t appear completely redundant Flash card apps can take a while but this app s multiple choice feature allows to challenge yourself to learn words in a more quickly paced manner I would recommend this app                     Jeresun Atkin

This app is very handy and easy to use especially when I m bored I use the opportunity learn some new words Very helpful to build your vocabulary if you re preparing for GRE TOEFL or other exams I ll give 5 stars when the number of new words is increased                 Peter Abia

It s an excellent app I started using this app a while back and ever since then I can say my vocabulary have improved I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn new words and expand their vocabulary                     Palesa Thutu

Very relevant words Complex and advanced but also useful Easy to use format with options to repeat segments and also if you re motivated by competition the option to play another person                     Kristen Minke

I think This is the most essential English learning app We always appreciate the effort made by developers of this app I am very happy to learn English in this app because learning English is full of fun in this way I am blessed to get this superb app                     Abinash Yadav

When I am practicing rc passages I always find the need to look for the word whose meaning I do not know But i have to go through entire flashcards to see the meaning of that one word This is very time consuming Please make the list of all the word for once     Zenia Zinu

I loved the app but my progress is regularly erased I also signed in to save my progress but the progress is again gone returning me to the beginning Is that a bug         Koray Sakarya

It s great for brushing up on vocab however they don t account for multiple meanings that a word can have This has caused a few errors because the usage is not provided in the question                 Swetha Chodavarpu

It s really very good application for preparation of competative exams as well as to improve the basic English vocabulary with definition example and synonyms This is a monolingual type of dictionary with basic to advanced academic and technical words I m very happy learning with this application thank you GRE vocabulary builder team for your support                     Sayyed Muhammad Waliullah aaliya

Excellent that there are no ads and you can compete against others just wish the words were depicted through graphics as well to help them stick better Otherwise thanks                 Meleah

The app is good for expanding your vocabulary but it would be even better if which part of speech is included with each word It will still be challenging but will also be more helpful in regards to answering the questions                 Quincy Chatman

Vocabulary adaptive learning Flashcards style with multiple choice Words are repeated multiple times when incorrect Definition and usage example provided plus pronunciation Very useful                     emeline renz

Although the app is good but it automatically clears all my progress and I have to pass all the level again and again I don t know it is a technical fault or something else but I suggest the team to fix this problem asap             Suchitr Sharma

Productive app to improve vocabulary Here you can learn more than 10 new words at each level You can also have time based match with random person to know your progresson which i find to be very useful I especially suggest gre and gmat aspirants to use this app                 akash shukla

When a wordplay is repeated the sentence in which the particular word is used is also repeated Variation of the sentence using the same word should be a welcome change Dr Jay Sankar Basu                 Jaysankar Basu

This is a good app but has some problems with the software the levels I completed are again locked and some defentions are not easy to understand the word otherwise its a great app                     Naveen Kumar

Really great app with helpful vocabulary and tools It helped me when I took the gre and I have kept it for years to refresh my vocabulary I highly recommend it                     Azzy Lera

Very much helpful for preparing GRE This app has parts of speech included But the meaning sometime is not up to the mark It would be nice if the meaning has been updated with synonyms                 Md. Nazmul Hoq Salim

Excellent app for learning and reviewing vocabulary Could be better if dictionary it further usage was linked Still this is as quick and painless as an app can be                     Bob Mool

It s a well organized app but needs to include a variety of tests that is multiple choice and fill i blank tests                 Hasan Shojaei

The app interface is good Also the learning process of new words is made more interesting by proper division of word category It s free which is good thing just sign up and start preparing                     Sacchidanand Vishwakarma

Very helpful to learn new words It works without internet so thats also a positive matter of this apps I live it to use                     Kaushik Barua

Good collection of words One way to improve the app can be to provide all the different meanings of word after answering a question                     Atul Kushwaha

This app is great if you wish to expand you vocabulary I just wish there more ways to learn the words than just the comprehensive style because I end up memorizing the word instead of learning it                 Stephanie Amanze

Doesnt save your latest development status It keeps forgetting it and you have redo the levels and words again and again which is super annoying     Toyli Hojaguliyev

I believe that this app will provide me enough knowledge in English vocabulary This is such a good app and no one find it difficult to learn English vocabulary because they provides different levels of learning                     Robin Markose

I tried many ways to do vocab but none of those ways worked Until I found this app It helped me with my vocab and its free                     Sophia Nguyen

PLEASE FIX THE AUTO RESET ISSUE My levels get reset after a certain point I was halfway done with the app but now it s all gone It has also happened before Please fix the code it s a very good app otherwise             Mohammad Abdullah Sarkar

In a nutshell it s just fantabulous Hard to find such a match on Play Store Keep making it better dear developers Im copacetic about its interface as well as content                     Billy - da Country Folk

The app is really good I would had given 5 star if it contains some picturial representation of each word apart from just sentences and synonyms             Nirmal Mallick

For some strange reasons i can t access the older words which i had learnt from the beginner section of GRE It kind of reset itself after a certain period Is this some kind of bug             The Unknown
