Have you ever looked up a word, only to forget its meaning later?

Psst, Educators: You can purchase Word Vault for students, teachers and administrators at a discount through Apple’s Volume Licensing Program!
*Translation functionality can be activated with a one-time in-app-purchase. Please note that translations are provided for the words looked up and not for definitions. Translations are provided via Microsoft Translator, which does not have a 100% accuracy rate, especially for isolated words without context. An upcoming update will include the ability to test translations in your language of choice before paying for the in-app-purchase, to help you better gauge the value of the functionality before paying.

Awesome Appa
I love this app. Plain and simple. I have always been quick to look up definitions almost on a daily basis as I hear and use words, and Word Vault is the spoon that feeds the vocabulary hungry beast within.
Pros:
-Pre-loads words to make looking something up a breeze
-Home page of each word has definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and an audio example.
-Super easy to save my favorite words, and once saved I can ask the app to quiz me on all or specific chunks of words each day/week/month
-Allows me to copy/paste any word/definition I find elsewhere. I find this to be particularly helpful because I use the Merriam-Webster Word of the Day Widget and need a place to store words and definitions for future reference. This feature also has a dedicated entry spot for the source of any word I save (e.g. Merriam-Webster, talking with a colleague, movie, etc.)
I definitely rate Word Vault 5 stars with no hesitation. I think that anyone who is interested in growing their personal vocabulary base will love this app.
The best app for saving vocabulary words
I've been looking for an app similar to the vocabulary builder on the kindle. This is the best one I've found.
One feature recommendation- allow the user to add words using the share functionality. If I'm reading a book in iBooks or the kindle app, it would be so much more convenient to add new words through the share menu, rather than coping the word and switching apps, adding it, and then switching back to the book.
Keep up the awesome work!
love
great app for practicing words from your own lists. don't think there's a way to separate words into sublists which would be nice, but the review is great. also I like the fact that if you have a word copied to the clipboard, it will automatically put up when you open the app. only other issue of scene is that images matched with words aren't always correct/relevant. (pulled from the web I think).
