I love this app. It has just so many helpful features that i cant mention them here. It even displays a new word on your notification screen for you to learn & to increase your vocabulary, you can even set your level of difficulty so you don't get easy words. It would have been better if it would have shown an example with the word but i can work with it

This app is amazing! The effort that has been put to caption everything is worth of applause. The catalogue too is great. This app does deserve more than 4.5 overall stars for the efforts. Why I reduced a star is because sometimes, the app fails to load the thumbnails of the videos. Only first few thumbnails would be visible and no matter how fast the Internet is the thumbnails won't appear. Thus, I have to restart the app to make it look fine. Fix this and I will update my review to 5 stars! Kudos to the developers!

I really feel good, when I installed this app. It's helping me a lot to improve in our mother tongue effect, the facility which I like about it., that there are many videos with subtitles and by pausing the videos you can repeat the words of the speaker and can improve in your pronunciation. I have phenomenal experience with this app, I would like to say thanks, to the creator of this application ☺☺☺👍👍👍
