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

Brilliant app, and so incredibly done. Extremely impressed.
@shlomofellig Thanks for your kind words Shlomo! Incidentally, I also learned to code through Codecademy - that's how I managed to develop this app with Sam!

@daspianist Well you did one hell of a job. Congrats!
Thank you @andretacuyan ! We really enjoyed making the college journey (we were inspired by TwoDots, which Sam leveled up from 1 to 92 in one day). I hope that the journey could similarly encourge learners to level up and expand their vocabulary :)
Here is a screenshot from the journey:

Gamification of expanding your vocabulary. Very cool indeed. (all of my own words unfortunately.)
@golocalapps Yes, we like how gaming can add to the challenge of learning. Not only is the journey available, but we have little bits of "candy" throughout the app which are revealed to heavy users. For example, the leader of a group wears a crown š
