Summary of the App

The application is pretty straight forward when introduced, users type a word and select
language and grammar and the application provides similar words while connecting those using

different colors to denote their different uses in grammar. The application can be used to
compare/contrast, distinguish, and memorize words and their related vocabulary. Otherwise, the
application is devoid of any other options, but its different styles of displaying information helps
different methods of learning. One of the more interesting features that I found of the application
was that it includes a large amount of words and when displaying these results the application
also defines them for you. For such a simplistic app, I can see it being used on a regular basis for
expanding ones vocabulary, reviewing, or identifying similar words.
