I love the concept of this app. I often encounter great words that I want to memorize, and this app is designed just for that. The study and quiz modes work well, and the overall interface is intuitive and attractive. However, there are three major things that should be done to improve the app:
• Add support for multiple definitions. Words have ‘em, so the app needs to accommodate ‘em. At the moment, the app doesn’t allow users to either select multiple definitions or add multiple instances of the same word in a list, so the only way to include multiple definitions is to create a new definition, which is time-consuming and should be unnecessary. Let users choose more than one definition when creating cards, and the problem is solved.
• Support list sorting. I’d like to be able to sort my lists alphabetically, as it makes it easier for me to find words in my list.
• Sync lists to Dictionary.com website. As other reviewers have noted, lists are often deleted, particularly in the process of updating the app, which makes the work of creating lists a wasted effort. Back lists up to the website, and you’ll save users the hassle of recreating them, while simultaneously driving traffic to the website. It’s a win-win.
