I’ve been extremely dismayed about the changes in app development over the last few years. Everything is converting to subscription or increasing in cost by literally thousands of percent. So it’s refreshing to find an app that offers good value at a reasonable price. And developers that actually listen to their users and protect those that supported them in the past are becoming rare, so thanks for that. As for the app itself, it does exactly what I expect of it, offering a few minutes of welcome diversion as I get ready for my day. Thanks for *that* as well.
Developer Response
Update: you're right, and for an app called Word of the day I should have chosen my words more carefully. So I fixed the thing instead of the wording. With the latest update, everyone who bought Word of the day before it went free also gets the Personalization pack (themes, app icons, accent colors) at no cost. It unlocks automatically, nothing to do. No word games: you own it all. Thank you for holding me to my own words. If this changes how you feel about the app, I'd be grateful if you reconsidered your review.
Suggestion

Would help to have a sentence using the word in context to better understand the meaning. Otherwise the app is very easy to use & very helpful.
Good start. Needs usage examples.
SlashFredo
The app is OK and I particularly like that it is showing me advanced words that I’m newly exposed to and I find useful. But I’m shocked there are no usage examples. It doesn’t need to be a dictionary with multiple examples but each word should have an example sentence.
UI

I really love this app because it’s so useful. But the user interface makes me bored.
Developer Response
Thank you for your kind words about the app's usefulness! We're excited to share that we've completely redesigned the user interface in our latest update. The app has been rebuilt from scratch in SwiftUI with a fresh, modern look and improved navigation. We've also added new features like custom sorting options and lock screen widgets. We'd love to hear what you think of the new design!
