About this app
Make building your vocabulary fun and simple with WordPal.
WordPal is a useful app that can be used to improve your English vocabulary, whether it be to help you sound more intelligent, directly in exams, in word games such as Scrabble or Boggle, with creative writing or anything else.

Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 1
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.

What we saw: Trial converts to a charge: raised by 8 distinct reviewers (2.9% of 274 reviews scanned)
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“DO NOT SUPPORT!!!! BEWARE OF FREE TRIAL OFFERS — DO NOT OPT FOR ANY FREE TRIALS!!! This app offers a seven day free trial. When you cancel within the seven days they will immediately offer you another free trial and then charge you $59.99…”
“You deceived me! — I clicked on the FREE TRIAL and you immediately charged me instead. I want to be reimbursed IMMEDIATELY! I am a 70 year old woman on a fixed income, and I wanted to see if I liked it before I commented myself! PLEASE…”
