Love the learning method ! One of the best way to learn advanced vocabulary

Sarita_135879 on

This is the first time I am writing a review for anything. This app is good, a bit hard to navigate in mobile app. however, the website is better. The user experience needs some work to be even better. however, what I am really impressed by is the system! You read a book and you can learn new vocabulary chapter by chapter. There are default lists for the suggested readings (which are good by the way), however you can easily add new words to your learning list. The App review the words in a systematic way until you master it. The inbuilt dictionary and the provided links and references are great! All in all I love Vocabulary.com. Highly recommended!

Wow! I am hooked!

lady_kluck on

So well done and interesting. Easy to navigate in and great explanations yet concise. Such a beautiful app and gift to the world. Thank you!

App keeps crashing...

Andenzx on

Freezes every-time I open it after having switched between apps.

The best english vocabulary training to date!

Carl Spira on

I have read a lot of books in English. An foreign scholarly English is fine as long as you stay in the middle of the road. When you start exploring “real” literature like W.Churchild books, The Lord of The Ring, Hemingway etc and you find yourself invited to a cricket club outside London for a wedding then you will be pleased to hear that this app will save you. Very pedagogical in its approach to repetition and explanation of words. The level is high but you will be augmenting your vocabulary immensely!

Facing bugs

rrc66 on

Hey, I just bought the app. Although I like its desktop version, the mobile version is behaving weird. I don’t know why it is not accepting my touch inputs. Even the UI is unresponsive. I am unable to switch between look up or click any new word. I request the IT team behind it to correct it asap. I bought the app to learn words in read to go way not always surfing my big computer screen. Best, Rishi
