This app has issues.
I've seen other reviews mentioning this, but this app seems pretty old and outdated as well as straight up wrong. I've found many situations where I am BAMBOOZLED as the words are given without a supporting sentence, and therefore reinforcing a certain meaning in your head that isn't applicable for many or even most situations. For example they define "decline" as meaning "say no to" which is correct when used in the sentence "You can always decline a request politely." HOWEVER there is another meaning to decline, "move downwards" like used in the sentence, "He did a decline bench press." I'M REALLY HAVING TROUBLE THINKING WHO SHOULD ACTUALLY USE THIS APP.
Not as fun as I thought
My dad made me do it and I did not like it
My progress was lost for no reason
Had to replay all the levels…kind of annoying
No longer maintained
At the time of writing this review it hasn’t been updated in 4 years and had display issues on iPhones where the text is cut off the top of the screen.
Definition Issues…
Functionality is there and UI is good but too many words had incorrect or “reaching” definitions of words I already know. 80 or 85 % of the words are fine but I don’t trust as I get into new words that I’m learning how to use them correctly. Confident I would sound dumb because the app does for many of the sentences used on words I got “wrong.”
