Daily Word for Android
This app has a great ui but the words are really obscure and irrelevant. The words should be something a average person might actually use in a day. Needless to say, I will not be using the word 'Mulct' anytime soon. Mulct is 'a law or penalty; usually pecuniary', and is not recognized by my keyboard as a word.
Didn't work. Said there was a server problem. There's nothing wrong with my phone or internet connection.
It just says "There was a problem understanding the server response."
Was looking for a good app like this a while now, love it :)
Would be really useful to show the phonetic alphabet of the word in addition to the pronunciation
App wouldnt load any words! -_- server issues? Really?
Gorgeous material UI and simple idea. I know it's too much to ask, but would love to see this app turn into a full fledged dictionary app with the same feature. The design makes you wanna use the app more but the app offers nothing more than just a word a day (the name! duh! But still..). The use is reduced, unless there are a lot of pinned words . So please expand on this. Apart from that I love it.!
I was excited to download this app. It initially looked really good based on the preview pictures. On start up it says, "There was a problem understanding the server response". I refreshed it multiple times, uninstalled it and re-installed it again, and even messed with the settings, but nothing worked. According to other peoples' comments, this is a common problem. So if the creators of this app would actually decide to fix this problem, they would get better reviews and more importantly more downloads.
Currently unable to connect to dl a word however
Fix this. I keep on retrying but the server is the problem! And it says there, 'there was a problem UNDESTANDING the server response. Even the spelling sucks. Wasted my time.
This doesn't retrieve anything from the server anymore. A real shame since it was a beautiful app
Not understanding server
Well done developer! Really nice interface with great extras without getting messy.
Just stopped working.
Would not load
Seems to be a problem server-side. Both mine and my girlfriend's app has stopped working in the past week - 'there was a problem understanding the server response'. Great, simple app though if it works for you.
It doesn't connect to the server for about a week..
This app is amazing and use to be my favorite app on my phone but it doesn't work anymore. It worked perfectly at first then stopped completely, wouldn't even open. I un-installed then re-installed it, it comes up but then says "no Internet Connections to download today's word". I've tried everything. Please fix so I may rate this app what it deserves.
Doesn't work anymore
Beautiful ,I read it everyday !
Can't connect to server even after reinstalling.
Never connect to server
Connected to personal WiFi which works awesomely but keeps saying I'm not so it can't download the word
Just quit working. Reinstalled, didn't help.
I appreciate it much.It will increase my knowledge.I appreciate those who arranged it
Won't connect to the server. This has been going on for over a month now. I would rate higher if fixed.
Don't even try to install it's useless
I've a very good WiFi connection but it unable to fetch word
Problem with server
It gives colloquial words we would never use or already know the definition to. I can only see words they have already sent so Ive waited a week for a word I could use but still useless words. Marriam Webster's vocabulary builder first two pages is much more useful than this will ever be. I read a review that said this but I thought I'd try anyway. They were 100% right.
Would be really useful to show the phonetic alphabet of the word in addition to the pronunciation
Not only informative but beautiful display... Great app
The words are not interesting, and almost insulting to be a word of the day app...if You are a true word lover...pass!
Gorgeous app that does exactly what it says on the tin.
Just I would like small improvements in the widget. Widget should be more compact (takes too much extra space) and transparent

I was looking to expand my vocabulary by learning words slightly outside my regular conversational level. This app is beautiful, but hasn't given me a word I can use in day-to-day speech yet.

One word : fantabulous...
