Word Repo is an application designed to help users to expand their vocabulary. The app was inspired by two Chinese-American students who needed a better way to adapt to American Culture.
Many applications either teach new languages or allow you to save words but none combine both a word repository and a links to reference.
Word Repo is literally a word repository that allows you to save words you find while reading and saves the url where the word was found.
Word Repo has streamlined saving interested words and adding them to a personal list. Just as you would define a word on an iOS device you have the ability to share the word with Word Repo and reference it later.
Word Repo allows you to create personal lists for your desired categories (i.e. Biology 101, American English) and gives the user an area to review the terms.
Word Repo allows you to personalize notifications so that you are reminded at the right times when to reference the words you've saved to add them to your vocabulary.
Users learning a new language love the ability to set a word goal. This feature allows users to expand their vocabulary at their own pace.
