Reviews
Some good, some not so good.

Good This app is beautifully designed, has zippy navigation, and functions great. Not so good There are grammar errors in a number of the questions in additon to punctuation problems, poor sentence structure, and weak word choice. I am not the language police (there are probably errors in this very review), but it is ironic and disappointing to such problems in something that people use as an educational language tool. This app is so beautifully designed. I am hopeful they care enough to fix the content.
Helpful appl but

This appl is very helpful; however, it doesn't explain why your answer is wrong. I believe that for it to be completly helpful, it should provide some grammatical rules to explain the errorneous character of wrong answers.
Best in class

I dont know why are others are whining but I think the app is what it says in description. Why do people whine about what its not? Its practice tool people. Not teaching material. Its aim is to revise again and again the rules of the grammar that you have learned in school. If you want to learn the grammar rules, go a pick up a good book and come back to this app for revision and practice.
It is not worth free!

Stay away! I get the feeling that some of the positive reviewers are makers of this software. If I could give it zero stars, I would. The layout of the testing is nice, but there are so many weaknesses with it. It gives you a definition of a noun, but does not give you an example. Then it test you on say noun usage and it says that two of the fives sentences will test you on the usage, but then it does not tell you which questions are being used for noun usage. I have to agree with another person, when you get an answer wrong, there is no explanation as to why you got it wrong. This application has a long way to go and it should be reviewed by an english professional or professor.
Not a good app
Deleteability
The developers did a poor job on this app. It is filled with grammatical errors. It doesn't give examples to help users understand. It's almost like someone put this together just to get some money! A professional developer wouldn't allow an inferior product such as this to be released. Next time they should get an English teacher to review the questions. See it for yourself then delete immediately!!!
Not Impressed

I own better language apps that help you understand grammar by explanation. Unfortunately, this app has NO EXPLANATION OR EXAMPLES. Every test question should have a brief blurb on what makes it the best choice, rather than assuming it sounds best. In addition, a program on proper grammar should not have grammatical ERRORS. You cannot trust a company who doesn't go through their product to correct mistakes. Overall, I would not invest $$ in the full version. It's an app with various tests without explanation - and every teacher knows that if you don't explain or show examples, then a student doesn't learn.
perfect for mastering english grammar: Buying the full version with 1800 questions!!!
