  • Not accurate

    I’ve used this app for a couple years now, but it definitely has glitches! I am usually very good about checking it each day to see the new word of the day, and the app is set up to track how many days in a row you open the app and by getting streaks of days in a row, you have the ability to look back on the previous days you opened it to see the words again. Unfortunately, the app glitches! I had a streak of 60+ days in a row. Then the next morning I open the app to see my streak was reduced to 11 days out of nowhere. Even though it said I had a reduced number of days in a row, it still wouldn’t allow me to look back even one day. This has happened several times since using the app. So be aware! The app’s algorithm is definitely not accurate!

    For 152 days I have been opening the app every day and learning the word of the day along with the daily quiz and sometimes the games. Today I woke up to my streaks being reverted to day one although the app itself show I have not missed a day. Next thing you know, it’s asks me to buy coins so I don’t lose my streaks, when I haven’t lose any streaks. I feel that they are forcefully trying to make some money and I understand but this is not the way to do it. I have emailed and showed them proof of my work progress but if they don’t do anything I can just due away with this app,

    I loved the word of the day for a while. The past week or two have been words a fifth grader would know. What happened?

    every so often they block everything with paywalls which is disappointing but when they let me use the app and dial their advertising back they have really nice features and aesthetics

    Edit: as they have now begun using ai “art” instead of hiring talented illustrators, I will be deleting the app. - I have been using the Word of the Day app for over a year. I primarily use it for the widget that shows the word of the day on my lock screen and for the lovely illustrations and definitions of the word in order to enhance my vocabulary. Lately the daily words have been simple words that appear in everyday language. For example, “absurd,” “recede,” “reject,” and “worsen” have each been the words of the days in the past week. I don’t know the point in keeping this app if it’s now focusing on elementary words that most English speakers are familiar with. I also am increasingly frustrated with the new layout of the homepage. I just want to click on the word of the day to see the definition and illustration, but instead I have to click through several screens of unlocking streaks and collecting stars which I don’t care about. The app used to have excellent UI, and I still appreciate that it uses real artists for the illustrations, however it has become unnecessarily convoluted and the words are far too basic to increase most native English speakers’ vocabulary.

    This app is wonderful for learning new words, as well as making sure you know exactly what words you think you know actually mean! This app is very satisfying and can increase your vocabulary daily and entertain at the same time. There are a few games like Hangman which test your knowledge in a very relaxed way. The app needs some improvement in terms of smoothing navigation, however. Hopefully that will be done soon.
