What's new
- Performance improved.
- Bugs fixed.
- New: mark words as “I know it” or “I don’t know it” — from the bottom toolbar on the word page, while training with Flashcards, or by selecting several words in a list at once.
- Marked words get a colour stripe in the lists. You can change this in Settings → Word state display.
- Add the “I know it” and “I don’t know it” lists on the Search page to see those words separately.

Reviews
Five-star reviews of this app on Google Play.
Очень полезный. Часто способен перевернуть взгляд на казалось бы привычные слова. Способен изменить осознанность. Из минусов - изредка встречаются отсылки на слова которых в самом же словаре нет. Иногда ссылается куда-то непонятно куда. Но очень достойные все словари автора.
Дуже зручний словник для дослідження етимології слов'янських слів. Не подобається набирати російською - користуйтесь "Горохом".
Невероятно крутое приложение, каких мало. Приятный и дружелюбный интерфейс, богатое содержание. Пользуюсь им уже больше года. Автору большой респект за проделанную работу!
Интересное и простое в использовании приложение. Некоторые "слова дня" ранее нигде не встречала. Полезная вещь, в общем, разработчикам большое спасибо.
Велика подяка розробникам цього чудового словника. Давно шукав щось подібне. Але, по можливості, в майбутньому розробіть, будь ласка, аналогічні словники української та інших мов, наприклад, польської. Рекомендую всім, хто цікавиться літературою, обов'язково завантажувати цей словник.
В целом неплохо. Часто словарная статья наполнена различными ссылками на сторонние источники, а сути мало. Хотелось бы побольше информации о происхождении слова и связанных словах.
