1. ★★★★★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.

2. ★★★★★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

3. ★★★★★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.

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

   Review. They have popups asking you to write reviews

5. ★★★★★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.

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

   Can’t sign up. I do not know why but every time I try to put my school email in it just glitches out I don’t know what’s happening and I need to finish it before Friday so this app need to fix it

7. ★★★★★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.

8. ★★★★★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.

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

   Website version is much more user friendly. This app is difficult to navigate and some buttons cannot be pressed because they don’t fit in the screen fully. You can look lists up but it is difficult to add them to your library. Please make more user friendly because the website is great and easy to use.

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

    For non English speakers. The app would seem to be very effective for learning but the actual vocabulary is too simplistic, probably designed for non English speakers learning very basic vocabulary. I persevered in using it every day for a month in hopes that it would become more challenging but it seemed to get even easier and just became time consuming with little benefit.

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

    I hate this I can’t even sign up. Bruh first day. I already hate it. 1. YOU CANT SiGN UP. 2. Every time you press sign up , it says “date of birth” and bruh it says the day you wanna sign up please fix this :[

12. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Annoying Bug. I deleted this app a while ago and whenever I try downloading another app, Vocab.com starts downloading and it says something like “the developer of vocab.com needs to update to work with IOS XX” It gives me the option to keep or delete. It doesn’t matter which one I press since the pop up keeps happening.

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

    The buggiest app ever made. I have been waiting months to see if they can fix this app but I give up. This is the worst app I ever used. Don’t waste your time or money. No idea How they still in the App Store

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

    “Minor bug fixes”. No updates to their app for 7 years and when they finally do “minor bug fixes”. Please start supporting your app. It has so much potential.

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

    Registration required but…. App requires full registration including email, name, age, etc. — BUT it will not allow entry of birthdate. Additionally, for a simple vocabulary app, this information harvesting is intrusive and highly questionable 👎👎👎👎

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App needs to be updated for iOS. I’m unable to open the app and get an error message that reads “the developers of this app need to update the app so it can work with this version of iOS.

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

    Please update this app soon. As a teacher, this was always one of my favorite apps. Unfortunately, I am now unable to use the app on my iOS device. I have praised this app for years in the classroom. Now I am frustrated and growing impatient. Please update this app soon!

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

    Uninstallable. It says it ‘Works on this iPhone’ but when purchased it can’t finish installing because the developer needs to update it to work on the current iOS. Find a different app.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Do not buy. I just wasted $3 on this outdated app. It hasn’t been updated for 7 years now and won’t even download as it’s extremely outdated and is not compatible with iOS 14. Why sell an app that won’t even work. Can I get a refund please cause your app does not work. Shame on you. You guys are plain and simple a bunch of thieves.

20. ★★★★★saving, exporting or sharing the result fails

    Does not work on iOS 14.7. Downloaded but errored out with a message that says — “Developer of this app need to update this app for the current version of iOS” If it does not work then why it is in the App store with a price tag?

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bunch of thief. I paid money for an app that wont install cause of lazy f**ks who wont update app. Email response, “update will release soon, but i cant give you exact date.” Its been over a f**ken year

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

    Shame on them. Shame on the developers for taking people's money even though the app doesn't work on the latest version of iOS. It was once great.
