*** Featured on the iTunes Home Page, and in Reference and Education *** Have you ever looked up a word, only to forget its meaning later? Word Vault stores all the words you want to remember and helps you to internalize them. Mundane, exotic, functional, highfalutin: amass a cache of words you love, then learn them all. We learn fastest with frequent exposure to new words. Use Word Vault as your regular dictionary app, and it will remind you to come back and review the words you've looked up. Reviews are quick, fun, and help you to get words out of your phone and into your brain. Features: - Robust offline English dictionary, and online lookup for esoteric words - Vocabulary review system with a configurable schedule - Pronunciations - Images and Illustrations - Translations (See note* below!) - Auto-complete and spell-check suggestions - Thesaurus functionality - Customization of your word list with notes, sources, and favorites - Example sentences - URL support, so you can look up words from other apps: wordvault://define?text=yourtext If you'd like to get in touch for any reason, you can follow @chaoticgoodies on Twitter, or email contact@chaoticgood.com. Psst, Educators: You can purchase Word Vault for students, teachers and administrators at a discount through Apple’s Volume Licensing Program! *Translation functionality can be activated with a one-time in-app-purchase. Please note that translations are provided for the words looked up and not for definitions. Translations are provided via Microsoft Translator, which does not have a 100% accuracy rate, especially for isolated words without context. An upcoming update will include the ability to test translations in your language of choice before paying for the in-app-purchase, to help you better gauge the value of the functionality before paying.

Really good app

Hello, if you come back to this app I will be glad I like to use this app it’s really good but I would be to see several options with definitions on english just add from another sources because your standard definitions so much hard to me I try to learn new words every day I think u have guessed that English isn’t my the first language, and yea I’ve seen features like add own commentary on the bottom for words and I’ve bought the extra pack for translate from English to my native language but it’s not helpful for me unfortunately I need English descriptions for understanding and learning. And one asks yet if you can change your repeat system it would be great because now it isn’t working well when I repeat my new words it is impossible all words show random, thank you

Favorite Vocab app

I’ve used this for years and love it. Most vocabulary apps are about flashcards and flipping a word with an answer. The ability to look at definitions and type in the spelling has worked well for me. Hope more features are added—like controlling when you want to work on words that you haven’t come across yet. In my word vault I have over 10,000 words I’ve selected from years of reading that I like to keep fresh. However, the app doesn’t allow me to control when it goes back to old words. I’ve had this app for a couple of years and have only gotten to around word 7,000, mostly the result of inactivity for a couple days or so which means I have to go back over words I’ve already learned. If you could provide more control over this or create a feature when the app doesn’t go back over old words at midnight every night that would be great.

Great App with Two Problems

This app is so helpful. It is exactly what I was looking for. I would love to have given it 5 stars. Two things stopped me. In the review, there are 145 words that come up for review, and I know all of them now. I have more words in the vault, but only the first 145 words ever come up for review. The second problem is that two particular words I have in the vault make the app close every time I tap those words. I think I need an update but can’t figure out how to get it. “App Support” page can’t be found. I would greatly appreciate help with these issues.

Want to become well-spoken?

This app is so incredibly user friendly, yet it includes the features you wouldn’t even have realized were essential. I’d been taking screen shots of all of the words I look up while I am reading or watching shows that I find beautiful or that I hadn’t heard before. Now, I just type it into the app, and voila, it’s recorded in my “vault”. Then, I review the words with its awesome review system, and words I get wrong go into the “weak” folder so that I know to work on those ones more until I get them. Long story short, I am actually improving my vocabulary in an effortless and sort of addicting way. I can’t rave enough about this app. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Fixed a bug that caused a crash when looking up less common words.
