I built a vocabulary app for students who want to actually use the words they learn
​
Hey everyone,
I'm a student, and I've been working on a vocabulary-learning app called VocabiRise.
The basic idea is simple: I wanted something that doesn't just show you a word and its meaning and then forget about it.
VocabiRise is built around a learning journey.
You choose your level and learn 15 words at a time through different topics such as:
- Speaking & Communication
- Everyday Life
- Career & Interviews
- Academic English
- Writing Skills
The app currently has multiple levels and topic-based vocabulary, so the goal is to gradually move from easier vocabulary to more advanced English.
What makes it different?
Learning
You don't just read a definition. Each word has its own learning activity and questions so you can understand how the word is actually used.
Word Mastery
After you have genuinely learned words, you can separately test yourself on them.
The idea here is NOT just another easy "What does this word mean?" quiz.
Mastery is supposed to test whether you can actually remember, understand, and use the word through things like context, sentence completion, and sentence creation.
Library
If you find a word useful and think, "I'm going to need this again," you can save it to your personal Library.
The Library is completely separate from Mastery. You choose what you want to save.
Who is it for?
Mainly students and English learners who understand English but want to improve their vocabulary, communication, writing, interviews, academics, and confidence.
I'm not claiming that this is the perfect vocabulary app.
Actually, that's why I'm sharing it here.
I'm trying to get the first group of real users to use it and tell me:
- What feels useful?
- What feels unnecessary?
- Where do you get confused?
- What would make you come back tomorrow?
- What would you change?
I've spent a lot of time building it, but I know that building something and actually using something are two completely different things.
So I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback.
If you try it, please tell me what you honestly think — good or bad. I'm much more interested in real feedback than compliments. 😄
