An editorial reading of the saved reviews

An outstanding dictionary with human, informal definitions and a smart spaced repetition system that surfaces real knowledge gaps. The app is technically outdated: long-term users report compatibility issues with newer iPhones.

Advanced learners and native speakers who want to genuinely know words, not just recognize them. Writers and academics who need precise vocabulary.

What reviews praise

  • Definitions written in plain language with examples from real texts.
  • The algorithm tracks knowledge of a word across different contexts rather than just recording that you have seen the card.

What reviews complain about

  • Teaches reading comprehension and passive vocabulary, not speaking.
  • The technical state of the app is a genuine concern for users on recent devices.
