Since finding Duolingo, I've been having a really difficult time of putting my phone down. I've always loved learning new languages and Duolingo has such a wealth of languages to choose from. Right now I'm trying to pick up my French since I haven't used it since high school and it's really fun to just play the games while learning the vocabulary words. They have so many languages that I'm trying to figure what else I want to learn. The interface is straightforward which really appeals to me and the fun pictures displayed for the vocabulary words to learn make this really aesthetically pleasing. There are probably other options out there but I find this to be the most addictive and effective in helping me learn those key vocabulary words. To me, Duolingo is probably the best vocabulary building app I've tried is my current go to app for practicing my speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills. I get to do all this while I'm playing the game, what more can I ask for! More

Busuu helped me learn a language. There's lots of languages to learn and it helped me to build my vocabulary in another language. I'm sure it will work in any language that people speak, but for me it worked in what I was learning. More

I'm studying English for IELTS exam. I have downloaded some of those apps a couple months ago and try to use them. They were helpful. But among all of them there is an application called "WordUp".
More
With this app I won't need to have a note! I can undrestand my level in vocabulary with self assessment. With all states of a word I'm learning anything about each word. It's full of related text and even short movies for every word and the best part is managing what I have learnt. Actually learning vocabulary has been changed to fun time for me!
For those who want this app, check it out:https://wordupapp.co Good luck!:)

by Eric Morgan
The app is well built and it works well for building vocabulary, but it doesn't update correctly. It often replays words from previous levels and even over time, the words rarely update. Overall, it's too limited for its purpose. More

First off, I really appreciate the honesty of this app. While I think games are of course useful during the learning process, sometimes you do just need to put in some effort if you want to learn something new, which this app acknowledges. I also how the flashcards also give you the root word. This allows for a deeper understanding of the word, and you can start to understand the logic of English a bit better. More
by Sean Bradley
As the school year has progressed I have been looking for ways to increase the vocabulary skills of my son. I figured one easy way would be to introduce him to an app to accomplish this for me. He has really taken a liking to Vocab Genius and has said it feels like a game to him. More

Vocabulary has always been an issue that I try to improve. As the years go on I try to keep improving the way that I speak and write. I came across Vocabador some time ago and have noticed a significant increase in the words that come to mind as I speak on a regular basis. The growth has been nice. More
by Rodolfo Ayala
Vocabador has some great features to learn new words. It also does a great thing by using the word in a easy to understand sentence so you know how to use it correctly. Only downside is there isn't a ton of words to learn. It's still one of the best vocabulary building apps. More

This is a fun way to sharpen your vocabulary. In each section, you start by going through the vocab and if you already know the word, you can "test out" by answering a multiple choice question that shows you know the definition. This saves time, not having to review words you already know. Every word is described in detail; they have accurate pronounciations (not a robot), definitions, synonyms, examples of the word in a sentence, different usages, and even etymology charts. I LOVE IT!
