My Vocabulary - Build your vocabulary by creating vocab lists.

by
Use the built in dictionary that searches more than 300,000 words, then add the word to a vocabulary list that you created so you can study later.

I built this app because I am always reading books and come across words I don't know. I always look up the word, then forget it ten minutes later. The idea is to have a list for a book I am reading, add words to the list as I come across them while reading, then have the ability to study them later. So I started building this app and realized there are also many other use cases. For instance, a teacher can create vocabulary lists for their classroom or subject. Then I realized, some lists need to be 'shareable' with other users, some lists should remain public or could be kept private. I also found it useful to have a history of previously searched for words. I created an algorithm that searches multiple sources to find word definitions, examples, pronunciations, similar words and synonyms. Searches are almost instant and much work has been put in to optimization of that algorithm. The theme of the app is dark so that it does not disturb your brain if in the process of reading a book outside of your phone.
