What is the best way to get familiar with a new word?  Simple. Learn a word a day and use it over and over again.  And on that point, won’t it be nice, if your iPhone had an App that would let you do exactly that?

The Lingo App at the App Store, under the Education category, lets you do exactly that. Brush up your vocab with a word a day.

Why Lingo? That’s because Lingo lets you do exactly what you would want to do with a new word, see it in its different usages.  This app lets you do the following:

Keep track of the number of times you use throughout the day through the tracking system of this education app.

It allows you to view a word through several sources on the Internet. This education app provides you the words from Dictionary.com, Wiktionary, Urban Dictionary and Merriam Webster.

Then this education app is multilingual.  If you wish, learn Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian and French words besides brushing up your English vocab.

You also have the convenience of looking up a word in its various contexts through Google, Safari, even Google News. This is an excellent option for learning various usages of a new word and get the hang of the word itself.

So brush up your vocab or learn new words from new languages from palmtop convenience and in a seamless, sleek fashion through your iPhone app.

Brief Comparison: E.A. Production’s Word of the Day is a similar app with a pretty nice UI. There are also a number of other apps like Italian Word of the Day, Chinese Word of the Day, Spanish Word of the Day etc. However, this app is a better bet because of three reasons -1. it has a more extensive information resource, 2.  its word usage feature is unique and 3. this is the only multilingual app among apps within similar price range and with similar features.
