Description:
** Voted as one of the hottest apps by iPhoneAppPlus-http://www.iphoneappsplus.com/education/vocabbuilder/index.htm **
** "Top 50 in Free Educational Apps during the promotional period" **
The VocabBuilder is, as its name suggests, an application which aims to build one's vocabulary. It may be a helpful tool for students preparing for the verbal section of various competitive exams like the GRE or the SAT; it may also help aspiring Spelling Bees. And it definitely would help Word-o-philes like me pass the time.
Currently, we have 7000 words and meanings, with 2000 of them having example sentences, built-into the application and we aim to increase this number in subsequent releases.
The VocabBuilder has 4 different sections, each of which provides a different way of learning/revising a word.
1. The first section has a unique game "uGuess" which challenges you to come up with different words for the given prefix and word length. You play this game against your iPhone/iPod Touch. In a given round you may encounter an average of 5 different words, thereby improving your vocabulary. There is a Score tab which lists your top 10 scores so that you can continue to challenge yourself.
2. It has a "Word of the Day" section which is pretty much self-explanatory.
3. There is a 7000-words dictionary where you can search/explore words. This dictionary will grow in subsequent releases.
4. It also has a Favorites section. Whenever you encounter a word you want to re-encounter, either while playing the game, or while exploring the dictionary, you may mark it as a Favorite and come back later to this section to revisit it.

Im falling in luv with this app because the amount of vocab is just insane. The best part is that its totally free. The game is a little hard thou, why not make a hangman game instead
Great app!

This is a great application but I really wish I could get a quiz of just the words I'm having a problem with by adding them to a list and then being able to play uGuess with them. Otherwise, I love it!
Love it!

This particular application has been one of my favorites. I have reccommended it to four of my friends and they now all know at least 5 new words such as masochist and xenophobia. One thing that this certaint application needs, is a RANDOM FEATURE where the user is presented with a random word. A pronunciation feature would also be useful and would make this app even more popular.

Don't buy it ever since I got this app I have only used it once. It's a big waste of money. :(
Needs refinement

All "games" are only one word long. I guessed a word that was only three letters long, then "game over". Great idea though. It's fun while it lasts.
