Pros and cons of Word Dynamo - Flashcards & Word Games by Dictionary.com app for iPhone and iPad

Word Dynamo - Flashcards & Word Games by Dictionary.com app good for

Root words that sound similar are an experience by themselves. The range of topics is a great tool for learning about those topics you didnt remember the day after passing the class!!
I enjoy this app for learning new words, clarify definitions in my head, and provide a quick, short, fun challenge on-the-go. First impression is favorable in these respects.
This is the best Apps. I love it so far. If you need to improve your vocabulary, this is the right apps to get
This much better than playing solitaire. You actually learn something while you play.
easy to use. make your own word lists. kids can also use it and learn how to perfect spelling. for sure a must get.
Great words. Smooth and fluid. But, for 4 bux it should include example sentences. What good is a word if u dont know how to use it?

Some bad moments

Along with others reviewers I wish definitions were not cut off mid sentence and examples of each would be a plus. Im mystified as to how to unlock challenge levels. Please help. Tried customer service no response
This is a great app if it would work consistently. Every week it has issues Gwenda
Have to sign up to use. Not a problem, but I cannot abide the privacy policy. Outrageous.
I am most unimpressed with this app. I love the online version which is why I spent all the money to buy this app. But I constantly get server error, so I cant log in or even really use the app. So what is the point?
I love word games and found this one worked for one day and is now jammed and despite rebooting etc it will not work....wasted my money. I like the concept though.
I just installed the app and want my money back because I cannot sign, I cannot bring up the keyboard. Whats the point? I cant get past the grading of vocabulary. Please refund my money!
