Hi George,

Thank you for sharing this resource. Could you please explain a bit more about how this app would specifically help an IELTS taker improve their mark? The description and screenshots in the link you share make the app look like it is just another vocabulary flashcard tool.

Hi Ryan,

I think this app is more than a flashcard tool. There are 3 modes in this app:

- Flashcard
- Word List
- Quizzes

I personally use quizzes more than other modes. Each quiz contains 10 questions, and it takes about 3 minutes to finish a quiz. I think the quizzes are randomly generated. Most of them are not that hard. Once in a while, I pick up a new word. I use Word List as a "dictionary", even though it's not as good or complete as a dictionary; but it's handy when I only need to check something quickly. As to the flashcard mode, I only use it to review the "star" words.

One drawback is the pronunciation. It seems to be generated by a machine, a text-to-speech engine or something like that. It'd be better if all words are pronounced by a real person.

Please let me know should you have further questions.

Kind regards,

George
