Description

Expand is a tool built for those who read broadly, lookup words frequently, and have observed frustratingly how the meanings of less-common words fade from the mind in time. It doesn't provide a "word of the day" or any of the other fluff focused on by most vocab apps. Expand lets you look up words quickly, collect the ones that you have reason to retain, and review them using a method of spaced repetition in order to do so most efficiently. If you're the kind of person who looks up the meaning of words frequently, then this app is being built and continuing to be improved for you.

Something I never thought I’d need until now

Expand gives you the opportunity to not just look up a word’s definition but to actually retain it.

So many other vocabulary apps walk you through the motions and may even have you save words but they don’t quiz you or help you utilize them in your life. Expand takes the words you’ve “collected”, quizzes you based on a retention algorithm and keeps you updated on what words you’ve mastered or need to work on.

The layout of the app is also simple and tasteful with no fluff so it’s easy to navigate.

I would HIGHLY recommend this to any person looking to actually learn new words. Like I said in the subject, I didn’t think it was something I needed in my life until now and I’m so glad I downloaded it.
