[APP] +++ Word Trainer EN - Expand your English vocabulary and gain eloquence +++

Hello,
I would like to present you my first android app. It is the Word Trainer EN. With this app you are able to expand your English vocabulary and gain eloquence and quick-wittedness.
It is an offline version with hundreds of selected words from the Wiktionary. They can be browsed and learned systematically. The app uses the successful flashcard system. Train your eloquence in the learning mode (flashcards) or in the quiz mode, where you have multiple answer option which are chosen randomly.
To check the learning success there are several statistics included.
Here are some pictures for you:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The chosen words are mostly from the GRE and SAT list. I continously expand the database with new words.
Here is a list with all the features from this app:
Features:
-------------------
- Learning Mode (flashcard, card index system)
- Quiz Mode
- Both directions: word or description is given; also random selection is possible
- Statistics about learning bevavior (how much right/wrong answers, five best/worst words, distribution of the words in the boxes)
- Easy wiping through the word list
- Offline: All words are on your device
- Efficient memory allocation and less storage needed
- App2SD
I am planning to implement a Widget with a random word from the app and its description.
There is also an Ultimate Edition with twice as much words and without ad's.
If you are learning German or want to improve it, take a look at the German Version: Word Trainer DE
So, what do you think of it? What should I change or do you have any suggestions to improve the app?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Soo. I have finally implemented a word every 30 seconds widget for the homescreen. Enjoy it!

Shows promise! Thanks.

Yesterday i have plublished a major update including a new learning mode: Scramble.
You have to rearrange the letters of a given word to the correct name. You can get several hints to solve the problem. Check it out!

Pre-existing database for gre
This thread has been closed for pretty long, but I've been looking for a way to use a pre-existing database for making a GRE app. Can you please help me out?

[GAME][4.0+]WordHunt - Find your words!

Good morning dear XDA'ers,
It's been a long time since I posted on this forum. I've been working on what I call "weekend-project", which in fact was part of my bachelor thesis: a boggle solver game for android. As my thesis was in fact about client-server architectures, I decided to make this game multiplayer, so you can play wordhunt with your friends.
I know there a lot of work to do and I have a lot of features that I would like to implement like: dictionary, play with friends near-by, multiple languages and specialised dictionaries (cars, mechanics, astronomy, football, etc).
I would like to call this version a beta, especially for the fact that I don't know how the server will handle the load, if there will be many users. I'm trying to find time to improve it, but I need users to see what are its weak points.
I'll wait for your feedback and suggestions on how can I improve the game and most important if it is attractive to you.

Reserved for updates

Looking forward to next release...
Hey, so here my quick feedback:
+ cool, nice UI (nothing else expected, my friend)
+interesting, new play with words/letters
# maybe new games can be added, for example 10 words will show and u have to find as fast as possible etc..
# why ranking on main page (beside avatar), when this is always '1' or at least not related to 'top ranking'
# to less "maps". Two times behind same letters in just 2-3 games
- FC when changing username and hit save
- no information or explaining of error when register missing something or wrong entered (just showing 'login not possible')
- no showing of language. So where the words can be from. Any categories or dialects or....
- on/after register 'full name' and 'username' get connected. Maybe this should be only username (especially in game) and otherwise Frist and last name or what ever...
Surly I forgot some things, but at least u have something to start working at
CHEERS

HelloChinese new version 1.9 released with a new speaking feature added!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...m.hellochinese
People usualy have trouble pronouncing some words much more than others. It would be helpful to help them practice just those words.
So we added a mode in speaking exercises to train pronouncing any word mispronounced.
How it works?
App plays back how the word should be pronounced, and you have to repeat it 3 times and get a score rather than just right or wrong for each repetition. The score is between 0 and 5 rated by our speech recognition algorithm. You can also listen to what you said so that you can hear for yourself how it sounded like.
How to launch this mode?
Long press any word in a speaking exercise and the new page(see below screenshot) would pop up.
