Great app for Vocab study – This is the BEST app I have used for vocab study or for any other subject when you want a flash card type of set up. It will take some time to learn all the ways you can set it up for review and testing, but that only shows that there is a lot of flexibility available. It is well worth the trouble it takes to fully understand the workings of this app and it's associated computer software.
Life saver – This app has been beyond wonderful. It has all of the Greek and Hebrew vocab available, and I threw away about 1,000 index cards!

FAQ
- I can't start any training, the play button is grayed out
To learn, you first choose what lessons you want to learn. You do this by tapping the checkboxes on the right in the vocabulary overview.
- Only the first part of my word is shown when practicing?
Most definitely you used the synonym seperation without knowing it exists. As a default, the slash (/) is the seperation character. In iVocabulary you can store synonyms of a word in just one entry. You don't need to store two entries with the same translation but can store it in one entry. When practicing, synonyms can be trained seperately. You can disable this in the settings (general).
- How can I share documents for others to download?
At the moment iVocabulary doesn't support uploading content to th download area, but you can share via eMail or messages. The currently available files are hosted and provided by Arizona, the former developer of ProVoc. The files were created by the ProVoc community. Sharing is planned for a future release.
- Why did you switch to subscriptions with iVocabulary 4?
Developing apps costs a lot of time and money. To be able to work on iVocabulary, I need some revenues to come up for those costs. This didn't work with one-time payment for iVocabulary 4. So there were two options: cancel iVocabulary or switch to a moderate subscription pricing.
