Vocabulary.com App Comments & Reviews

Vocabulary.com Positive Reviews

Can't even sign up for this app.UPDATE: apparently there was a technical problem on the website itself, which directly affected the app as well. It was solved within hours and I've received an email with explanation why there were problems at first place. Now, I was expecting to see the app that already has a set of vocab lists to prepare for GRE (the are a few GRE lists there but they only have 30words). I personally find it more productive to learn by choosing the right answer for the words I'm learning. I gave the four starts just because among a huge variety of different lists of words that have been derived from different sources, you kinda have to build your own.. and it takes time to do so... other than that it's a pretty useful app that provides a great description for each word you are currently learning. Oh and the feature of simply clicking on some words that look unfamiliar and finding their full description, that pretty awesome! And that's the way you build your own list of words.. if only it was all prepared specifically for GRE..Version: 1.0.1

Mediocre 4 stars maxI would and wouldn't recommend. If your school uses it then that is fine but if you are using just to learn vocab words and your school doesn't use it I WOULDN'T recommend. Here is why. I use it for school and my teacher assigns lists so it is easier to learn the coach words by this because we take tests on here to so it is just easier. BUT if you are using it to search up definitions and attempt to make a list for let's say the list of words your teacher gave you, then it starts adding words that they think you wouldn't know. For example, we are reading A Raisin in The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and we have a 35-word list for act one. I am getting words like canon pop up on the learning queue and that is not a word on the original list. I wanted to know one so u read the progress on that word and it said that it added it because it thought I wouldn't know it. That could be nice if your goal is to expand your vocab but if you are learning a specific list it gets annoying quickly. Once again, I would rate it 4 stars max..Version: 1.0.1

Awesome!I'm gonna write a 'terse' review here. I just downloaded the app and played with it for a about three days. Some things that would make it better for my personal use. 1. I like to learn in parts. I can study one part, or list, In the case of this app; Leadership is the first list that I want to practice and focus on for about a week or two; Then I want to move on the the list, "100 words every high schooler should know" for the next couple weeks. - Can we have some sort of queue for lists we want to study at a later time? 2. Option to get daily or weekly push notifications for a word of the day or week. Apple Watch compatibility here would be nice as well. Just a quick read if you're committed to this sort of learning. 3. Complete dictionary and functionality of this app in offline mode. That means everything is stored on the phone and obviously no connection needed to use app. (I would pay extra for this feature !!) This is what I would like to see in future updates. This app is a easy and efficient way to expand your vocabulary. I use this app for 15 minutes everyday during my first break at work. The repetitiveness and game like aspect of this dictionary is great for learning new words and how to use them. I use it as much as I use duolingo so if you like that, then you'll love this app. It will make you a better speaker over the long haul if you commit to it. Not too "terse" after all.. but reasonable. 😄.Version: 1.0.1

Highly customizable app!I think the amount of time and energy the developer spent to build this app deserve the attention of we, the users! I am an ESL student who’s enthusiasm for learning new English words made him use a plethora of apps. But this app is something different. You can use a set of predefined words to master or you can fancy making yours. Personally,I like the usage example section. When I was looking up for “Gargantuan” definition I didn’t expect a presence of the word as recent as September 20th ,2018 in Wall Street Journal, quite astonishing! I just have some minor issues with the app, mostly about look. There is a feeling that you’re using a converted web app, not a native iOS app. And speaking of the web app there are some features that are only accessible through web, like huge predefined words list or make a list out of a short page automagically..Version: 1.0.1

This app helps me TREMENDOUSLY!I really don’t have a super huge vocabulary for my age. I need to look up a lot of words a lot of the time. I also have to look up the same words multiple times because I almost immediately forget the definition right after I look it up. I love the way that the dictionary function of this app gives word definitions! It makes it a million times easier for me to understand what the word means. It gives a short simple one to two sentence explanation of the word, gives an example of a sentence you could use the word in, gives the breakdown of the root latin words, then goes into the standard dictionary definitions and usage examples. The way the app explains the words is just so much easier for me to understand then opening up a standard dictionary. This app have been very helpful for me when I read my Bible!.Version: 1.0.1

Stop with the filler words.I understand the team intended for this to be a tool to expand the vocabulary of people, and that means introducing them to new words. But you have to understand, teachers are not using this for that reason. Sure, if this site is being used by a teacher it’s to make students learn new words, this is true. However, almost always are these teachers looking for complete mastery of a list they assigned. Your program adding new, random words in to the point where the remaining words to be mastered from the needed list rarely show up is ridiculous and unacceptable. Your program makes doing such a thing almost impossible. It will take a student hours just to finish one list because of this feature, making this app inefficient, not user friendly, and a poor choice for any teacher trying to use this to help students. If there is some feature that can disable this inside the website, I would be grateful to find it, and my rating would increase! Because other than this feature, this app is a great tool, and requires application of vocabulary knowledge. This makes one actually learn the words. Once again, this feature that adds in words because the list isn’t long enough or because most of the words have been mastered is killing this app. Thank you..Version: 1.0.2

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! 📓📕📒📔📗📘📙📚Omg! This game is awesome! It is fun in the competitive and points aspect, but educational in the way of the new words. The app is beneficent and so worth the money. I would highly recommend this to all teachers, and if you don’t have a school subscription I would inform your teacher on this site so they can utilize its educational value. In this game, you basically get a quiz and answer with spelling and definitions, and if you get it right at the first time you receive a certain amount of points. You get ranks based of the amount of points you have and also get put on school, class, district, and overall leaderboards. You definitely should invest in this app. My 6th grade class uses this, and all of my friends compete with me and each other. I am happy because I am up 30,000 points. You really need to get this..Version: 1.0.1

Favorite app for a smartyThis app is amazing. It definitely has some bugs/parts it could fix such as the definitions of some words & expanding its vocabulary content. I love that it contains a fun way to learn words by playing. It's a smart idea since I am addicted to playing! I love learning new words and there is no better way than this! I would definitely rate this five stars if only it contained more day to day use of words (I search up words sometimes & they aren't there which is frustrating since it is a vocab app, so please fix this! If dictionary app is free and has more variety of words, an app that costs money should definitely be on top of its game.) Also some definitions could definitely be a bit off, confusing or don't offer all the different meanings of a word. Still rating it four stars because I love the game and keeps my tongue top-notch ;)..Version: 1.0.1

"Ought" to be moreI noticed that words like "ought" are not in the dictionary and I had to look it up elsewhere. The old English word "aught" is inadequately defined as "nothing" when it's actually "something" and that's a big difference. This is a app that has great potential but needs work in these areas to compete with the other dictionaries: 1) Offline use - most dictionary apps I've used have an offline use to define words. Really great to save data. I can understand the need for internet connection for the games within the app but let the users have offline access to the looking up words. 2) Etymology - I would like the app to include more on the Etymology of the words, their old English root meanings and not just Latin. I feel there's not enough of that compared to other dictionary apps. 3) Updates - Updates for the app should not only be when there are bugs to squash to improve usage but vocabulary additions or updates on the words that I mentioned. I had hoped that this would be my "all in one" dictionary app that would help me expand my vocabulary and dig deep into the etymology. Please, work on including these features into the next update. If the developers would include the offline use feature then I would give it a 5 star!.Version: 1.0.1

Good and useful app but...I like it and it's been useful - helping me with pronunciation and studying for the MAT. The repetition is good and the different meanings and context are very helpful. My only two complaints: there is no opt-out button for words I already know. I wish they would make one! And when you make a list - they plug in other words along with your list words - which is frustrating when I need to learn specific terms and only want to practice those words. Right now, I'm trying to learn the list I made for the Periodic chart - and after several rounds - I have only had two words of the list and the rest has been a mess of words from The Challenge. It's frustrating when you are trying to study for something specific..Version: 1.0.1

A learning aid like no otherFirst off, this app is incredibly well designed. It has a point system and many "achievements" that make you feel good about learning words. Further, the definitions of the words are explanations, written in plain, comprehensibe English. I went online and created my own word list and I also found a list in the app's word list database. This way I can learn the words I see in everyday readings, as well as challanging words I'm not used to seeing. This app actually helps you learn vocabulary, I've already noticed a difference in the way I write from only using this app for about 3 months. I would recommend every person who values written and verbal expression, which should be all of us. 5 out of 5 stars..Version: 1.0.1

Limited functionalityThe website version of this is invaluable, and the app is very useful as well for practicing vocab, but something that I would really like to see in future updates is the ability to add words to and edit your lists through the app, preferably with an option to add a word to a list directly from the definition page. I'm not sure why app developers limit such important features like this but it makes the app not nearly as useful to me because instead of looking up a word I come across while reading then adding it to one my lists, I have to wait until I can get to my computer and then add it by editing the list. I probably would not have bought the app if I had knew it was missing this function, but overall it is still a good app and others may not miss the feature..Version: 1.0.1

Simply the best app to more be creative with words and being open minded.The best app to learn new words everyday and have an open mind and have your mind from nonsense games out there, that wastes your time only. Definitely I recommend to everybody, but specially for those whom are foreigners like myself. It gives the options to learn and focus more on those words you need the most. And perhaps some change may need but maybe that could be adding the options from changing language to others so don't have the need leave the app but have one app open only, that would definitely save lot of times and money. Congratulation to the creator of this and for being so benevolent to share his creativity..Version: 1.0.1

The best appThis is my favorite app. It makes learning new words easy and fun. You can create your own vocabulary lists to learn and master or choose from many other lists based on the subject you want to learn. This app has changed my life. I do have ADHD, but this app keeps me totally engaged in the words. I used to have so many problems with learning, but I am getting better and better everyday thanks to this app. I am forever grateful for all the work the developers put into this and for making it affordable. I highly recommend this app. I haven’t had any problems with it all. If you really want to learn, this is the app to get. It will help you..Version: 1.0.2

Handy Application for on-the-goI have a huge problem with not knowing words, especially hearing words that may seem like I should know them, but don’t have the knowledge, or haven’t heard them at all. With this app being accessible for the iPhone, I can search up words, add them, and the quiz/questions that challenges me to understand the words that I want to know is a really great tool. I just wish that the bottom portion that states “start learning this word” was a little higher for my phone screen. Feels like it’s cut off and won’t adapt to my phone screen. But other than that issue. I really like this app.Version: 1.0.2

FINALLY INTERFACE UPDATED!!!Honestly, i have not found a better app to learn GRE vocabulary or increase my range of vocabulary. This app had major issues for ~2 years because the team was slow on updating the app with the updates for the newer iPhones. Thank you to the developers and tech team for finally updating the app. I hope the team continues to make changes and updates with the new screens and focuses their time on the user friendliness. If they continue doing so, with a little bit more marketing, they will be the top vocabulary app - no doubt about it. Word Hippo, word of the day, nothing compares. Keep it going!!!.Version: 1.0.2

Best dictionary appWorth the cost of the app just for the dictionary alone. Many dictionaries will use the word in the definition, but this one doesn't. Definitions include sentences using the word, word families, a short paragraph explaining the word, and sometimes a link to a blog post that goes into more detail, if you're interested. Not only is the dictionary great, the challenge is executed well. Plus you can create your own list of words to practice in the challenge. It's easy to add a word from the dictionary to your practice list. My only complaint is that occasionally the app won't prompt you to add a word you've looked up to your practice list. The developers need to work on that!.Version: 1.0.1

Great conceptStrong app for learning but poor on customization (making one's own lists or creating word and definition entries) and runs a weak dictionary. For example: "objurgation" is available, so is "abjuration"but "objuration" is not. Interestingly, there were many words I could not find in lists even though they were in the app dictionary. On the plus side, the app is designed with short drills which allow one to keep going or stop without feeling one has not "finished" a workout. So, it is not tedious. It has an appealing aesthetic which is inviting. Again, on the negative side, the definitions are not always of the most common modern usage of the terms, sometimes the choices in the drills can be misleading if one wants to pick the most common definition, and equally importantly one cannot choose which individual terms to include - or not include - in drills (game mode). The most irritating point, though, is not being able to include one's personal choices of words and definitions. Customer service is poor. Several email attempts to contact the company for explanations have not been answered, (nor have the emails been acknowledged)..Version: 1.0.1

Good app but...It's a good app, great even. But it's a bit of a drag you can't use your own lists. I want to learn the words I find. I keep running into dumb words that I already know. That's my biggest problem with it. It's crashed here and there for me. And I wish there was a back button when you're looking for lists. Sometimes I look at a list but decide I don't want it, but to look at more of what I searched, I have to redo typing it in. Minor hindrance. And you need wifi for this app to work. If you change the list thing, I'd give this app 5 stars. To recapitulate, it's an good app, in my opinion not worth $3.18, and it has little issues here and there. I'd recommend it though!.Version: 1.0.1

One thing I wish they would addI really like this app. The thing I wish they would add is the quick erase option in the search bar. Many times I’ve made mistakes in spelling a word I’m looking up and it’s laborious to back space the entire word in the search bar to start over. Most search boxes have this option. Please add a quick erase option to the search bar. Otherwise, this app is extremely helpful. I really like how they give multiple examples of a word in use so it makes difficult words more easily understood. I use it often..Version: 1.0.2

As close to most efficient as we got.There are so many tools and ways to improve your vocabulary out there that it makes for a real challenge to find the one you'll want for a standard. I would love for the team to build this app towards excellence by focusing on key principles of memory, learning and psychology. Semantic chunking is a much better and proved way to learn vocabulary instead of alphabetical order. But I'm giving the app 5 stars because it follows most of the core principles around its goals, and by doing that it becomes a very effective tool in your language learning/improving kit. A must have..Version: 1.0.1

Great customer service and contextThey have added the capability to use your own lists! I emailed them as soon as app came out requesting this feature, and they sent a personal email back the next day telling me they had already planned to create this feature and it would be out soon. Within a few days, it was! I also love the context they provide of articles and classic literature, because it isn't, in contrast to most vocabulary learning tools, mind-numbingly dull. You're sort of doubling down on learning. Better than the actual website, in fact..Version: 1.0.1

Needs an update for newer iphonesIPhone 13 resolutions aren’t properly supported by the app. Poor UX experience.. If you have an older iphone, like the iphone se, it should be fine. With that being said, the app works well for vocabulary. I find myself using the words I learn throughout the day. What I appreciate about this app, is how much they make you review the word. The app seems to focus more on REVIEW than it does learning. Which is how learning works. seems to be like 90% review, 10% new words. I could read the dictionary if i wanted to find new words. This app gives you a few words to start with, then hammers them into you. Then, you may see a new word. While still being hammered with old words. Continue with this app, try to be ranked 50,000. You will find yourself using your improved vocabulary throughout the day; or at least find opportunities where you could have used the new word..Version: 1.0.2

New Version Coming 2021?I love this app, how it describes word meanings beyond a typical formal definition. I hate that it can’t work with the latest IOS update (June 2021). I think it’s irreplaceable as it has created its own niche in the dictionary type app. I remain hopeful after I got this email from the developers due to my query, June 15,2021: We're currently working on a new version of the app. While I can't yet share a release window, rest assured it's definitely on our priority list and our app users have not been forgotten about..Version: 1.0.1

Great idea, but no updates!The app is a terrific idea but has one major issue: no updates in over a year on a purchased app which seems a bit ridiculous considering the amount of bugs and issues still left (e.g., I still can't mute the audio when mastering a word even when my phone itself is muted). That said, it's certainly worth the expense and I still enjoy using the app regularly. It has a clean and unobtrusive interface, making it quite simple to use. Would definitely be 5 stars if the developers rolled out even a small bug fixes every few months..Version: 1.0.1

Impressive!I downloaded this application about five days prior to providing a reviewing of its efficacy and it has certainly risen to my top 5 list of most valuable applications to have. I speak candidly when I say that my vocabulary has increased exponentially since my first use and continues to grow accordingly. If you are looking to expand your vocabulary you have found the most appropriate approach to do so as this app would be the most apt tool for the job. Enjoy. My review Before this app: Awesome app Def did what I needed it too would have spent more if asked!.Version: 1.0.1

I've waited for this app a zillion years!This is an amazing app and totally worth buying. It fills the gap between dictionaries and flash card apps. Very effective method of learning words and phrases. This said, I must add that it needs improvement in both performance and features. Most importantly, the ability to add words to user lists. This is available in the web app but it's not yet implemented in ios version. And I have waited for a couple of months for the update to come. I feel a little dissapointed about this. Anyway Thanks for the great app and still looking forward to seeing better versions.Version: 1.0.1

Great app, really happy, couple suggestions1. I would really like the ability to highlight text so I can copy paste it. 2. Often the app fails to open keyboard (I use the default English keyboard) when trying to type in text boxes. Should be an easy glitch to fix. It was most notable when signing up with an account and providing feedback to a text box question. (I spelt it right but it was capitalized and counted it wrong) And that’s it at the moment. I did say a just couple. Highly recommend this app, I’ve already asked a few relatives to get it for themselves. :D.Version: 1.0.1

Great practice for SAT!!I am in love with this app. I downloaded it because I wanted to learn some words for the SAT and I love how it is designed! The repetition, awards, and encouragement really helps and makes me want to learn more and continue using this app. Almost daily I'm on it and trying to use the words that I learned on a daily basis. I love how you can choose your own words to learn and how there are pre-made vocabulary lists. With all this vocabulary, I don't feel so artless* anymore! *one of the many words I learned! If you are debating buying this app, DO IT. It's so helpful!!.Version: 1.0.1

Frustrating First ImpressionI never buy apps. I bought this one. I’m enjoying some facets — features — but as a writer I’m waylaid by the fact there are no etymological addendums to the definitions of a word. Only a showing of dozens of ways/places a word is presented. Two or three would have been sufficient. I need to track a word’s origin to get to its essence — this is critical to my writing. Now I must leave the app, launch a browser, log on to an online dictionary and look for the etymology there. Frustrating. Also on my new iPhone, running the most current IOS, trying to engage with the fields within the app finds me often pressing repeatedly into the field to get the keyboard to engage — sometimes it will finally allow typing, other times — like attempting to leave feedback today — the field for typing was just a frozen chunk of space. Ironic as I couldn’t share suggestions with the developer. I’ll continue to experiment with the app, but I’m moving towards asking for a refund..Version: 1.0.1

Great for improving vocabularyThis is my favorite app & website for learning new vocabulary. The words are well explained and there are diverse quizzes for each word that target different aspects of understanding and usage. Content is great but the app is a bit glitchy. When you look up words during play, the definition becomes off centered. Also swiping left after you look up a word during play pulls up a page from a previous definition. What I want to do is to return to play mode..Version: 1.0.2

Great app, but not perfect.The Vocabulary app is very intuitive and efficient in helping you build your vocabulary. However, they still do not save search history and you must delete every letter in the search bar before typing in another word. Those two small yet significant factors would give this app five stars. There are many times I wish I could save terms, but I cannot because they aren’t available to “save” and I can’t look up my search history. Other than those two things, Vocabulary app is great..Version: 1.0.1

Perfect!!!I love the fact you can choose words that you think are difficult, to show up more often, the dictionary is very helpful within the game, especially when there are words that I don't know in answers. The definitions are easy to understand, but most importantly, they supplement vocab understanding with fun and interesting sentence. It is also useful to be able to combine lists, PERFECT for SAT and other vocabulary related tests. I highly recommend combining the lists for all the, " 100 SAT beginning with a-z." Great set of vocab!.Version: 1.0.1

It’s a good app but can be improvedI feel the user interface is not fully optimized with IOS and as matter of fact I think the quality of written words are not good and a bit blurry which puts me off and besides if there were more examples not just excerpts from articles that sometimes is uncomprehensive , instead I suggest using practical examples exactly like Longman dictionary does the examples in Longman are really good and clear. in short the app is amazing , keep up the good work!..Version: 1.0.1

Liked it but...I really like this app! For one, the program allows you to learn new words depending on your knowledge toward other words. For two, the app helps you understand words better! However, like any app, the program has things to fix. For instance: - check definitions (on some words it has incorrect definitions, don't be alarmed, I've had this for around 2 months and I've only seen 2 words with wrong wording) - not use the same questions (I know it can be very hard to come up with new questions for more than 2,000 words, but you have to start somewhere. Overall I think this app is wonderful and I do recommend to others! It's fun to learn new words to not only expand your leaning potential and vocabulary intake, but also use these big words when talking to your friends, just to seem a little smarter ;).Version: 1.0.1

I just can't stop...I have things to do but won't leave my iPhone alone. Very addictive and since I adore reading I can see where this app can open many literary doors. I gave it 4 stars because it seems to lose connection but doesn't necessarily crash. Would like to see a button to add words you want to learn within the operating screen. Love this app. PS My daughter already knows the words she's being given so she is frustrated and needs harder words. I am thinking this is because of her age. However, reading, literacy and grammar are her strengths..Version: 1.0.1

Good but not perfectWorks well. The way it figures out your level and uses repetition is excellent. But I can’t five star it because some of the definitions it gives just aren’t up to par. It’s nice when it gives history and roots. But it doesn’t always do that. On “reticulate” it used the same word in the explanation/definition! Also the definitions are always the same even when the questions vary and with words like “sublimate” it gets too tricky because it wants you to figure something out that it hasn’t gone anywhere near explaining..Version: 1.0.1

Good but . . .I love their website and the gamification of learning vocabulary. I bought the app because their website is not very mobile friendly and I wanted to be able to use the features on my phone. The only complaint I have is that I cannot edit lists on my phone. This is a huge problem for me because I like to add Merriam Webster's Word of the Day podcast's words into a list to learn. It's hard to get on the vocabulary website everyday to do that and I was hoping for easier access on my phone. Please add this feature!.Version: 1.0.1

Nearly perfect for vocab buildingThis app has an amazing design, both in it's aesthetics and it's teaching philosophy. It's not drilling words and definitions like a flash cards but rather haves you read passages to ask questions about its meaning. My only gripe with the app is that I'm learning from a list of over 600 words and in the last few days that I've been using it, not one word has been repeated. Though there are options to see "words I'm learning" and "words I've played,"both options list all 600 words, even if I have even seen them yet. Currently, the only way I've found to concentrate on a limited set of words is to manually find the words under the Play option and press "Focus more on this word." Also, I'd like the manipulate the lists as other users have stated. Again, the app is great and I'll continue using it, but I wish it could implement my suggestions..Version: 1.0.1

Very well designedThis app is great and even more user friendly than the web site! Someone reviewed that it was just for high schoolers - not true! It does take some time for the program to learn your level, but stick with it and it will get very challenging! Try creating your own lists if you are impatient. I love that it shows my progress on individual words when I complete a game segment, but I was wish it reminded me which ones I got wrong so I could quickly review them..Version: 1.0.1

Great but....Best app I've found for looking up words, saving then words, and improving vocabulary. But there are some words it doesn't have and there are some little things, possibly glitches, that are inexcusable and frankly annoying. For example, copy and paste appears to be disabled. This is an essential feature in a dictionary app and should work flawlessly. Even with these issues, I still use this as my main dictionary/vocabulary improvement app so definitely get it if that's what you're looking for..Version: 1.0.1

Love using this app but ...I love using this app. I'm well past a time in my life where I need an app like this to study for a college entrance exam. I just want to improve and extend my vocabulary. This app is a delightful way of accomplishing this. I would say; however, that some of the words seem geared to these types of tests and that these words would be useful in the "real" world. Even so, I assume this app has the same effect on me that video games have on a younger crowd: I seem to get caught up in it and cannot stop playing it. I think that's a big compliment..Version: 1.0.1

Amazing app, but it could be better!I really enjoy using this app to improve my vocabulary. I also use it as a dictionary. A thing that would make this app better though is to have the ability to add words to a list. I like that you can click learn this word, but it'd be really amazing to be able to add the word to a list. Also, the dictionary seems pretty incomplete; there are lots of missing words that could be found on the online version. It'd be wonderful to see the aforementioned things implemented into the app!.Version: 1.0.1

Great app that needs an updateVery useful! However, it needs to be updated to fix bugs. The last update was 6 years ago...Version: 1.0.1

Best app for learning advanced vocabularyThere are many apps, but this one is by far the best guide in the wild and daunting jungle of complicated terms of English language. It’s target audience is probably school children (as an adult it’s weird to read a word description with examples involving mom and dad) but there are myriad of things I still don’t know, although my level is C1. A lot of games are additional bonus. All the best, please continue our important job.Version: 1.0.2

BrilliantExcellent.Version: 1.0.2

Amazing App, would love better iOS VisualsI am astounded at how well Vocab.com is set up and works to help improve your vocabulary. I have been using it for a few years now, but have found the app to be quite visually unappealing as opposed to the website. Would love to see this have a more app-cantered design rather than feel like they took the code for the website and just barely adapted it to make Vocab.com also work as an app. Bottom-line: an amazing tool, could be visually better. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.2
