About the developer

My name is Sam and I am an Academic English teacher. I have found that my students often are able to understand new words, but find it difficult to use them in the correct situations. I decided to write this app to not only teach students the most important academic words, but also help them know how and when to use them. Consequently, the dictionary entries contain definitions AND example sentences written at a level of English that learners can understand.

Spelling, synonyms and grammar is all covered for each word to help students remember what they learn.

If you are unable to pay the small fee for the full app, send me an email (see additional information) and I’ll send you a code to unlock the full app for free!

Happy learning!

The way to practice vocabulary in this App is amazing, the words have to be learned in the sentence by multiple aspects: definitions, spelling, synonyms. I found it contains 10 Sets x 5 Groups x 12 words, equals to 600 words. I am not sure if that's all the words, just hope I can learn more words, not only for IELTS. I can also track progress, I really like the message above the progress graph, "try to have a habit of practicing your vocabulary for an equal amount of time each day". Thanks!

The app is perfect, and I really appreciate your great effort. However, I have faced a problem. When I have changed my phone, I had to start my progress over, so I'd really appreciate it if you could make some kind of registration with email addresses , or whatever you see appropriate in order to keep my progress. In addition, I recommended it to my friends and we couldn't find it on app store.

I love the very high quality of this application. I am studying AWL for about one month, and being fond of it. I really owe you dears. Indeed, studying it's short courses on writing task 1 & 2 was very helpful. But unfortunately, I am living in Iran and I can't pay the low price of full course experience, because we are under sanctions and I can't pay fees 🥺😔 I wish there was a way to accessing this course even for just one month. Thank you again dear IELTS tutorials instructors ❤️🧡🤍
