User Reviews for Word of the Day・English Vocab

The new update removed the app’s best features…

Edit 2: The issues I shared below have since been fixed. Thank you, WotD team! Edit: I updated my review to three stars on the fact that the developers were very helpful and kind in restoring my saved words and disabling the “gamification” for me. Still, I’m unable to search & save words (which was my favorite feature) but I saw a comment below that it’s returning in a later update, which will be wonderful… Original Review: I’m a writer and I originally downloaded this app for two reasons: to expand my vocabulary, and to “stash” words that I want to save for later. When I come across an interesting new word in a book, for example, I’d go to the app, search for it, and save it for future reference. I used to use the app almost every day, and looked forward to each day’s new word. The new update removed all of this. You can no longer search for words, and the daily word is hidden unless you visit the app. This is incredibly frustrating. The app has turned into some sort of subscription-based Duolingo-esque game, instead of a fun dictionary like it was before. Plus, on top of that, most of my saved words disappeared. Now, I do understand the developers need to make money, and I’d even be happy to purchase the app for a flat price — if the interface returned to the way it was before. I’m very disappointed, and I’m afraid I’ll have to search for a replacement….

Uninstalled immediately after initial setup

I understand funding the app and pay for many apps that I enjoy because I hate ads and I love supporting apps by paying directly. However, from a UX/UI standpoint I have issues. After the initial set up, I was immediately asked to pay for the app before ever even seeing what it looks like to use. It included an annoying countdown offering 50% off, and I could let that part slide even though in my opinion it gives off scammy vibes anytime I see that. After closing the “offer” so I could try actually using the app, I was only able to see the home screen for a millisecond, not even enough time to read the word of the day much less the definition, before ANOTHER pop up asking me to pay for the app. Seriously? I haven’t even used it yet! How could I possibly know if I want to pay for it? Deleted the app and I will not reinstall. There are other word of the day style apps and services; I will continue my search.

Could use some improvements

So far I love being able to see a daily word. As a writer, having words to get a situation across without something being too wordy, is crucial. This app has been a huge help! I like to write a small prompt with the word of the day if it inspires me.However, there can be some fixes. On the favorite word list, I would much rather be able to see the list of words with the definition. I don’t care to know have many people have saved the word. I just want to be able to access words and their definition on the fly, especially on writing streaks! Or, remembering one of the words and trying to see the definition on a whim. Also, the widget shows a different word than the daily word. When I click see example on the widget, I get the word of the day, not the word on the widget. Thus, I have to manually search it. I don’t care too much for the crossword game. However, I don’t get the notification for it so maybe it’s a glitch?

Really awesome

This app is really awesome! It teaches me and my family members a ton of new words! There is really nothing wrong about it. One time, I gave this app to my sister and she would not give me my phone back for the next half hour! This is one of the apps I really love because THERE ARE NO ADS!!! That really is great and an app with no ads is really great for children, especially impatient ones who love to learn. Maybe in this app, you could include a space where you can make a list of all the words you like and want to use more often. That would be really cool and I would even update my phone for that! Also, you could even make a word challenge where if you told your assigned word to someone, you would get a coin. You can save up your coins to maybe look at the next day’s word. As I said before, this app is astonishing and I love how I can educate myself with it!

Great app!!

This app does what says, it isn’t complicated. It does have neat features though. You can favorite words, and then access them later. You can see a list of the most popular favorited words, you can flip back to words at least year or two ago. The app gives a word and it’s definition, an example sentence and how to pronounce it. The word is often challenging. It is good app, especially for students. I would highly recommend the app.Suggestion: I don’t wish to sound like a know it all, but I am a prolific reader and I know most of the words. (certainly not all, some of them are really different) So, I want whoever decides what word for the day to choose harder ones, less known ones. Especially one geared towards more AP exams? It wouldn’t be hard.

Exactly what I️ was looking for

So far, this is exactly what I wanted. Not only does it give you a new word everyday, you can go back and look at past days and what the words were. Even MORE fun and enticing for me is the search function. I am an avid reader, lots of times I come across words I can figure the meaning of just by the sentence it’s in. But this app has a function my phone lost last time ‘They’ made the new year and new phone....it will speak the words for you. That’s just invaluable to me; not only do I get to read dictionary definition, I can learn how to say the word too. Ultimately making it more likely the new words I learn will make it out into my conversation. Thank y’all for the great app and thank you for making it available without pay.

So disappointed

I loved this app so much. I loved how I always had this little learning device that I carry around with me everywhere. It was simple and never too complicated. But then it started to update...a lot. I knew this app was finally starting to kick off, and I was happy it was getting the attention it deserves. But god, what the hell was it with the ads? Ads come up every forking five seconds! How do you expect me to even finish reading the definition of the word you notify me to check out everyday? Your motives obviously show little care in actually enhancing one’s vocabulary, but rather finding a pathway to earn more money. It hurts writing this down, but I’m hoping that with this you’ll cut down the number of ads that pop up. How about just one every two minutes? That’s reasonable. Not one for every five seconds. In the meantime, I’ll be turning off notifications for this app specifically and being on the look out for new updates, hoping one of them includes less ads. I understand you need some way to earn money, but seriously though, less people will probably delete this. I have much love for this app, so please do your part at making sure the people who download this app see it as a learning tool. A tool doesn’t force you to do things.

Word of the Day

It's wonderful to be able to find the correct spelling of a word. It's also nice to learn new words as well. You can also ask about a word you want to spell without going through nine shades of you know what! Great job guys! Don't stop creating easy to use programs! I’ve wanted an easy to use program that, once YOU start to use it, YOU just start printing and eventually it corrects the word. Now that’s why I’m getting into this program a lot!! This is a sweetie of an app!! YOU guys keep it going!!🙂. I still LOVE!, this app. I know that it will always give anyone, the ability too learn about ourselves, as too know and understand how to speak to others. I know, that this is a lot, too take in at one time, but the thought Theorem it takes too create such an awesome app, is astounding!!👏🏻👍🏻😉😃 DON’T STOP!!, upgrading this app. Well done, everyone!!

Regarding the Aug 5th Update

I was really enjoying this app until this new update. I liked the word searches, but I can do without them. What I miss is being able to look up a word and stash it, not just seeing the words that were selected for me. If I came across a new and interesting word “in the wild,” I was able to add it to my list! Not anymore. Plus, this update messed with the widget I had that showed me the word of the day without opening the app. I get that developers want people to open the app, but the thing is - seeing the word on my screen is what GOT me to open the app (to see the definition). I liked the visual incentive of being curious about the word, rather than having just another notification, which I’ll probably ignore. To be honest, I’m less likely to seek out and open the app now. The update has some promising features such as illustrations and having words tailored to the user’s vocabulary level and I’d like to see these features incorporated into a version of the app that addresses the problems listed above.

Word of the Day

My senior year of high school (graduated in 1966), I had an English teacher the stressed the need of a good vocabulary. Each week she would give us 10 words that we were to familiarize ourselves and then record if saw the word used during the week. Sources could be newspapers, magazines, books, or any printed material.I can remember many of the words today and where I found it being used. My career choice as a nurse encouraged me to learn medical terminology. When I married, I faced a person who could challenge my knowledge. My husband was an auditor for the US Air Force and was responsible for writing reports to the Pentagon, to the Congress and the Senate, generals, etc. His reports were word perfect, written logically.I hate to play Scrabble or any word game with her. Even when writing a personal note to him, I am careful to be word perfect. This app is a godsend to me!Linda
