I thought the high ratings and popularity meant this was a great vocabulary app. Well, if you're in high school, perhaps, but certainly not if you completed any higher education. At first I liked it enough to pay for it and it's nice that you can select categories and levels, but in an attempt to stop getting words like "absent" (you learn this in elementary school!), I eventually only had expert words selected and still kept getting very basic vocabulary served. I gave up and uninstalled it.

It's a great app, I love the widget feature, but it's teaching people to mispronounce a LOT of words. There are two different "pronunciation" options- the one that uses the voice we select, and the other that you hear when you look at details about a word. The one that provides further details appears to be correct, but for most people, who are just looking to learn how a word sounds, they're being taught the wrong thing.

i don't understand how they pick the words, but it doesn't feel helpful. why would they pick the word "off" when I checked the advanced vocabulary box? I'm just trying the free version, but so far, not something I would pay for. I was hoping for interesting words I could actually make use of. Seems like it is just dictionary roulette, instead of thoughtful content.
