Very convenient
I barely have time to systematically study the whole GRE vocabulary, so I just squeeze some time out to play around with this App. So far I am only at the second level and I already see some of the words appear in my practice test. I am going to keep doing it,
I don't have 1600 words in my App!
Tells me I'm a yellow belt, tells mr I've mastered 27 words and tells me I have 133 remaining. I don't know who's doing the math over there but it's clearly not at a GRE level. 27+133=160 people, not 1600. And, yes, I've checked all the settings and nowhere does it say that the app only loads 10% (160) at a time eventually progressing through all 1600. Is that what happens? I shouldn't have to finish that to discover whether I have a bug; I'll be angrier once I'm well in.
Buy a book instead
If your vocabulary is already good, these words do not correspond to what I am seeing in Kaplan or Princeton review books. Also, I got 300 words through and the app crashed, refusing to boot again. Save your $.
