1. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Not very compatible.. just use website. They need a few updates it keeps closing me out and logging me out and saying server not available when I click on anything,

2. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Apparently I’m not a human. I can’t even sign up for an account when the verification system keeps saying the words I put in is incorrect. I’ve attempted to enter the word multiple times with capitals periods but nothing works. FIX YOUR VERIFICATION SYSTEM.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Cant even make an account so glitchy. Asks for my “parents email” and wont let me sign up. App looks old, probably not worth the time

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Won’t let me sign up. When I tried putting in my age to sign up, it wouldn’t let me put in my actual date of birth. Instead, it just filled in today’s date. Then I finished filling everything out and it wouldn’t let me sign up, I pressed the button multiple times. I tried this process twice. Fix your app bud.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Review. They have popups asking you to write reviews

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Keeps Crashing. When trying to login or setup account, the app keeps crashing on iPad Pro, 3rd generation with current version 18.1.1 even after several uninstall/reinstall and turn off/on attempts. Frustrating.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Awful app. I find a list i want to learn and it just won’t let me press the “start learning this list” button. No button to make your own list either.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   AGE REQUIRED to sign up. Any app that requires DOB to sign up “PER US law,” is NOT the app for me. I will NEVER install an app that requires DOB. If there is a logical explanation as to why a DOB is required, I am willing to listen.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor service. They charged my credit card the fee of $2.99 and the app does not download because it says the version is old. Do they plan on giving refunds or updating the app?

    The app doesn’t work on iOS 14.6 and later and seems it won’t get fixed anytime soon!. The app doesn’t work on iOS 14.6 and later.

    Developers not going to update. Hi, everyone - Like many of you, I have also experienced the frustration of not being able to use the app that I’ve loved for several years. I reached out to their support team and was told by Bruce that this is on their “priority list” and their “app users have not been forgotten about”. This was on 05/17. It shouldn’t take them this long to work on an update for their app. He also did mention that they will not contest if I decided to request a refund. I wouldn’t hold my breath on them ever updating this app.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    App took my money. Tried to download the app. I was really excited about testing it out on a friends phone. Literally just tried purchasing and downloading the app, then Apple pops up with an alert stating “Vocabulary.com needs to update their iOS system before you can download”. Like whettt! How sway? Then asks me if I would like to keep it or delete. I press the delete button just to see what would happen. Then boom no refund just a deleted app. Like wheeettt?! How sway Apple? How sway?! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I just want to build my vocabulary in peace Jesus! 🙌🏾 Thank you Apple for reading my rant! 👏🏾 I still fools with Yal! 💪🏾
