About Vocabulary - Learn words daily
Vocabulary - Learn words daily is an iPhone and Android app from Monkey Taps, a Spanish developer best known for the Motivation and I am affirmation apps. It shows one word per screen, with a definition and an example sentence, and you swipe to the next one, much like scrolling a social feed. You pick a difficulty level and topics when you set it up, and the app draws on a library of more than 10,000 English words. A widget puts the current word on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, so you see a new word whenever you pick up the phone, and there are versions for Apple Watch and iMessage. You can save words into collections to come back to later. It suits people who want a light, passive habit rather than a study session: there's no placement test or course to work through. The trade-off is in the business model. The free version shows frequent video ads, and the practice games that help new words stick are behind Premium, which is sold as monthly, yearly and lifetime plans at several price points. Because the core is scrolling rather than testing, it's easy to see many words without actually remembering them unless you pay for the review features.
Best for: People who want a low-effort daily word on their Lock Screen without sitting down to study.
