Customer Reviews
If you delete "my list" one more time...
I have created 3 lists since I started using this yesterday and they have all been deleted. The first one was totally my fault as I didn't know you had to have 5 words to create a list (which I thought was weird). Then I started a new list w/10 words and it was fine. Last night I open the app to add another word to my list...and the list is nowhere to be found. So I created the list again...I opened the app just now and what do you know...the list has magically disappeared again. I love the idea of having the words I'm trying to learn in the form of a flash card type of app but come on, there are only so many times I can take creating the same list. Maybe develop a cloud or sync system to help w/this.
Overall beneficial for students
I am a tutor at an after school program and use this app for my kids' spelling lists (because simply knowing how to spell it won't help you write it correctly in a sentence). I love how easy it is to input the words and definitions on my iPhone, however, there are extra steps when creating lists on my iPad. Also we have had malfunctions where all of this lists simultaneously disappeared. Fortunately they suddenly came back a day later but still frustrating.
Overall it is a nice app but could use some more fine tuning.
Please make the suggestion list go away!!!
I downloaded this app today and love the idea of it. It's simple, and just what I needed as a foreigner who is learning English.
One annoying problem though! As another reviewer mentioned, the suggestion list of words is so annoying!!! As I type a word, the list just pops up right over my keyboard, which makes it unable to type and doesn't make the process any easier as the list is way too ling to actually look for the word on it. Let's say I am looking for the word "encompass". The list pops up as I type "enc" and shows every single word that stars with "enc". Please just make the list go away completely or make it show up above the keyboard without actually covering it!
