Using OnePlus 6, Android 10, 400Mb/s Wi-Fi, I am located in Finland. The app shows blank page after I choose my first vocabulary list and press OK. Then the OS gives a message that the app is not responding. I would assume there is a memory leak or you are not handling some request timeouts properly. Definitely requires more testing from dev team on real devices and further optimizations. Currently it doesn't work.
I do like this app and my students find it very useful and convenient for studying vocabulary. Unfortunately, I could not find the Coursebook 'English File Advanced' in the list. Are you planning to add it? I'm really looking forward to study it too.
This app is a goddamn nightmare to use, everything from starting up to downloading content to just using anything took forever to load (I'm using a 2019 galaxy a70 so it can't be the device fault). The whole operation seem like something you'd see in a scheme app. basically a useless app, great idea, bad execution. Updated: wow now this app is not even try to work at all. It just load up, ask you to pick you language, but clicking the "ok" button doesn't do anything at all
Hi Dev. Can you somehow make it clear in the app what's the price for each purchase option? I mean what are the prices of a sub and full version? Rummaging through the app for the purchase pop up is so frustrating. I need a 'purchase option' button in the setting tab.
This is wonderful app. Can you link it with Oxford Advanced Learners Dictuonary, so that words seen in the dictionary may be directly sent to this app for practice purpose. It will make the app more useful. Thanks. One problem, the app takes longer to launch.
This is amazing app to enhance your vocabulary. I really like it. You can also add your words in personal dictionary and practice when you want. Just one thing needs to improve. App is slow. But I hope developers update it soon. Thanks OEVT.
I've just started using the app (free version). The app looks fabulous. However, audibility is far below the average, especially when compared with OALD app (in my wish-list already). Hope you'd pay attention to this deterrent. Thank you.
It's an app very practical and useful. You can add words and the app will add exercises for you can practice posteriorly. I love it.
When I have a good connection it's a great learning app, but I have a bad connection to the server too often and then all of the vocabulary checks are very slow
Amazing app with valuable resources and a really practical way of training even on your own searched vocabs.
The best language/vocabulary learning app I came across so far. Even after school I use it more or less regularly
Hellllp. App is perfect. But in last two days I cannot open app. And I cannot train myself.
Cannot buy, button doesn't work. It seems it is a FOREVER Demo. :-(
I have a problem with connecting to the server. It won't open it say download error
I hope, the vocabulary packs' prices will be fairer. that's why I bought only one...
I can't used it, It show me only a white blank, I tried to uninstall and to install again trhee times.
I will remember more vocabulary with this app. Amazing!
Takes forever to load. The app doesn't work properly.
Based on my experience this is one of the best apps to learn new words.
Very user-friendly to learn vocabulary
very bad very slow and it needs network disappointed
If the software reacts faster. It will be better!
the app very useful but it run very slow
The price you pay for words though hah
Still in progress of start for 15 minutes. Nothing has been launched. Pleased to explain me what should I do?
Thank u for this app
Cant restore purchase
Good to refresh.
Amazing 👏 software
From a conceptual perspective this is the best vocab i've ever seen! But there are two issues: 1) many chrashes, loadind errors, etc. (especially with bad internet connection) 2) only works with fast internet connection. The possibility to load the vocab-queue or chunks of the wordlists for offline usage would be so nice!
