WordUp! Pro Version Experience!

In short: I have been using WordUp to learn vocabulary for more than six months, and I bought the Pro version. Here is what it does and why it stuck.

This is for anyone who has trouble remembering words. The app is WordUp, built by two people, Peyman and Somayeh. There is a short video of it on Vimeo if you want to see it moving.

How does it work?

On your first login it shows you words and you answer "I know" or "I don't know". From that it estimates your vocabulary and your level. The app has 25,000 words, 1,000 per level, so 25 levels. You go into a level, mark the words you don't know, and it teaches you those.

How do you actually learn a word?

Through quotations, movies, news and songs.

It gives you more than the meaning. For some words you also get phrasal verbs, idioms and related forms.

Those three screens are the examples for one word. It covers the word from every side, so the meaning sticks.

What else is in there?

Movies, games and categories.

Is Pro worth it?

I have been on it for over six months and the experience is good. Pro gives you more songs, movies and quotes, and no ads. The Explore section lets you learn vocabulary by category, which is a convenient way to focus on the topics you care about.

Get it on the App Store or on Google Play.
