Missing features and lots of errors
Finally an update for this app, and still no option to delete unwanted cards (despite the help menu insisting that this feature already exists).
"Word elements," which I don't care for at all, show up in huge disproportion to the ordinary word cards. A "delete" icon exists, but pressing it only reveals a message promising the additon of a delete feature in the future. Well, the update finally came, and still no such feature- BUT you went to the trouble of adding a useless explosion animation when ticking off cards? Come on.
Many cards lack multiple meanings of a word or only loosly define it. Some are flat out incorrect. The text can vary for corresponding cards that should be identical (recall definition vs. recall word).
Other than that, the interface is good and runs smoothly. But the experience is seriously dragged down. --DELETE FEATURE PLEASE--
And if you add the delete feature, please add the ability to un-delete cards as well. The current help section says this will not be possible, which is ridiculous.
Clever
Great learning tool. Handy study app. Makes learning fun
It works, basically
So long as your harsh in judging yourself, it works because the system throws those words at you at just the right rate.
One flaw is that not all the definitions matched to dictionaries that I checked. Some were completely wrong (like obdurate), or included only part of the definition, for example, showing the verb but not the noun part of the definition, etc., or we're only partially correct.
Would be nice if it could be manually corrected without needing to set up and send an email.
Gets a five because I can use Apple dictionary to look up correct definitions by double clicking word and then Define. If I wasn't able to check this way, the app would basically be useless because you'd be learning the wrong definitions.
Great job
