Climb - English Vocabulary

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Climb - English Vocabulary allows users to explore and learn new words. The app offers two main functions. One, it allows users to explore new words, their definition, synonyms, antonyms, and word origin. It also offers audio pronunciation, a link to Urban Dictionary, examples of the word used in sentences, and translation to desired language. Two, it promotes learning through game-type quizzes where users have to apply their knowledge of learned vocabulary. The app offers vocabulary lists designed to help with studying for standardized tests such as the SAT and GRE. Similar to other reference resources, kids will come across words and images that reference mature content. Even though these content issues are mostly minor, the words and functionality of the app fit best with early teens and older. The app offers a 7-day free trial and some features are free. But you'll need a subscription to take full advantage of what the app has to offer -- particularly the practice feature. Subscriptions range from $9.99/month to $59.99/year. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
