When will you guys release Android app? I want to learn advanced English vocabularies and this app seems offer a unique approach. Can anyone suggest me an alternative for Android?
When you want to sound more sophisticated (but also teach you new words), flip to the Words U app. š
This is actually similar Emojimo Keyboard, in that it replaces words with emojis automatically, also created by @daspianist and @samrealizes. Curious to hear more about how this came to be.
@samrealizes@rrhoover Thanks for hunting Words U, Ryan! Sam and I have always had education angle when it came to making apps (Sam was a tutor since first grade), and building the Emojimo apps allowed us to explore the technology with emojis, as our.. Emoji MVP.
Words U is actually a stand-alone learning app. The transformed words are highlighted and interactive, and learners can tap on them to reveal definitions and more. We thought one of the best ways to expose and help learners expand their vocabulary is through context - and what better and more relevant context than new vocabulary words inside their own conversations.
Words U is our exploration of texting as a medium for learning, and we hope it could help time-constrained students, whether its for their own personal enrichment or preparing for exams like the SAT, learn more effectively.
Also it helps them sound smart, too š

@nparsons08 Great point Nick. As a messenger, its always hard to get it out there to people because the existing network effects of the likes of Whatsapp or FB Messenger.
The reason why this is standalone is that our target audience are students and ELL learners. These learners prefer to have the interactivity of a messenger where they could tap on words to find definitions, or revert to the original text if they get confused. This is messenging for the sake of learning and communications, and therefore needs those things.
@rrhoover Thanks for hunting!! As Allan alluded to we want to help people learn. In fact we have our phone number in the app and are happy to help with homework or even admission essay writing.
Please don't call at 3 am š
