Vocabulary.com
authentic ratingAn adaptive vocabulary trainer with smart definitions and contextual examples from real texts. The concept is strong: the algorithm tracks which words are 'slippery' and brings them back. But the app is technically neglected constant sign-outs, progress loss, and no way to create a custom word list. The web version works better than mobile.
