Download Words Coach Application
Thank you for great post. I read you articles and found them really helpful.
Extremely great app but the problem is when I just want to get back it shifts you to the first page from where you had started like if I click on any phrasal topic for e.g phrasal verbs star from S, so when I get back to open any other alphabet phrasal verb it shifts to the page where it mentioned ( list of 5000+ phrasal verbs). Sometimes it annoys me to restart it from the very first page. I hope this will get better with time. Overall admirable app.
Not get back it’s typing error go back
