Love this app!

I really do love this app! I use it nearly everyday to not only help me remember my Greek vocabulary but to understand the different tenses -- which helps in the formation of sentences, improving my speaking ability.

Good App with some frustrating limitations

I've been using this app for almost a year and have happily paid for it since the developers do a great job updating it regularly. Having tried both Anki and Wokabulary, I definitely prefer Wokabulary. It took some time to adjust to using hashtags instead of decks, but that was just a learning curve. The interface is clean and simple, which I really like. Some features aren’t immediately obvious, so you have to explore a bit to discover everything it offers.
The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the built-in spaced repetition system. It’s incredibly restrictive and just doesn’t work for me. I put up with it but I don’t like it at all and I wish there was an option to turn it off and on. If you guess something correctly five times, it disappears for 5–6 weeks, which means you won’t see it again for a long time. Everyone studies differently, and the built-in repetition system just doesn’t work efficiently for me. If you want to review something more often, you have to keep marking it as a mistake, which is frustrating. There’s a “dry run” option, but it’s not helpful since it shows both the question and answer, making it completely useless. Being able to control your review schedule to fit your needs is everything. I reached out to them about this, but I got the impression that it won’t be addressed because it’s not considered as an issue. I understand that, as the creators, they believe in their system, but unfortunately, this issue has made me consider looking for other solutions. Overall, it’s a good app, but with some frustrating limitations.
