Description

WordUp is a revolutionary app for learning new English words and improving your vocabulary. It maps out where the gaps in your knowledge are, and creates a personalised learning plan that focuses on one word at a time. This Chrome Extension allows you to complete your WordUp knowledge map as you browse the web. It will scan the page you're looking at, and check every word on the page against your WordUp knowledge map. - If you have declared that you know the word, it will do nothing. - If you have declared that you don't, then it will show a red underline, helping you to quickly look up the word's definitions with a single click. - If you have not declared it either way, it will show a green line below the word, which you can then click to see the definitions and also declare if you knew it or not. This helps you in 2 ways. Firstly, it will help you to complete your WordUp knowledge map. Secondly, and once, your knowledge map is more complete, it will cleverly highlight any word that you don't know on any web page, and help you look it up with no effort! This helps you to build WordUp into your everyday life and make the most out of your WordUp knowledge map in your day-to-day life. With WordUp, you are in control of your knowledge.

The Wordup extension is making my Chrome browser very sluggish. I wish it were simpler; there's no need to underline every word. It would be better to just let users highlight a word to add it to their "I want to learn" list. I had no choice but to remove it from Chrome.

I was so fascinated by the WordUp app that I installed the Windows desktop application too. It's quite convenient to use when you have to read something on a laptop. There is a sync option, quite rudimental though, since it only allows to agree to word tags ("Should learn/already knew") made in mobile application. Then I installed the Chrome extension and liked it very much at first because it highlighted all the known and unknown words on web pages. I was intrigued. So I thought that in the meantime I'd tag all the unknown words in the application and finally would be golden. However I proved wrong. No matter how meticulously you try to tag word using this browser extension it only sync them occasionally. Second. When you scroll page down the extension still highlights the same words. I gave up fighting with it. It's too slow. Now I use it just as an indicator that some of the words in the app are untagged. So I try to find them manually in the app and tag them.

Wordup is an awesome app, but the extension is not synced with the app at all. The main feature of this extension doesn't work, and it's unbearably slow!

I have several serious issues with this extension: First, I doesn't support all the sites. In many of the sites I visit on a daily basis, it fails to parse the page and read the words. Second, there is a bug in the word definition page. When I press on the definition button, it opens a popup window with the definition in english, and there is supposed to be an option to swipe left to the definition in my language, but because of a bug, it's impossible to get to this page. Whenever I'm trying to swipe, it starting good but after half a second it moving to a white page.

It doesn't work due to authorization issue. It seems the verification link (e.g. https://auth.wordupapp.co/ext/verify/123456789) is not available and leads to 404 status code.

I don't like the idea of how this extension works in the webpages. The pages looks so unclean. Btw, I am unable to copy the meanings and definitions. sucks!

Hi, unfortunately I couldn't find a way to activate the extension... As far as I'm concerned, the suggested "Authorise access" place on your app doesn't exist. Checked both the Windows and IOS versions. How can I activate the extension then? Best regards, Itamar.

1. For anyone struggling to sync words across devices, you need to click 'Sync' on both the extension webpage and the mobile device. This is why I rate this extension 3 stars. 2. On the other hand, the performance is quite slow and not responsive but still acceptible.

I'm fond of this extension. However I want to turn off the extension on the speciifc sites. So it'd be nice if you would add the feature to switch for On/Off.

it is pretty useful app. however i encounter some issue when I use the chrome extension. first, after the first time I log in my account when I install the extension, I can not access to the login page anymore. Not through the icon. it is an issue because I want to sync between my multiple devices. then I managed to navigate to the login page via using google history function, I click on sync and I got a deadlock. It doesn't react to my order. and I tried to log out and i got a crash. please fix that issue, thank you!

Hey, First, Thanks for this innovative Idea, But the implementation and communications could be a lot better, I wanted to subscribe but when I faced with a bug in this extension (It does not work now afer some days without any error, Just does not show the meaning) and also I have a problem with splash loading time of the app on android, So when you need to know a meaning of word instantly, You feels like WASTING, It's disturbing, So you can not rely on this app as an dictionary app. At the end you can not turn the extension off for some websites because if You do it, It will not work.

I have a problem with syncing the extension with the app. The first time after adding the extension the "Try sync" button works fine, but after that, it doesn't work. Not syncing causes missing some data on the app and if I want to sync the extension, I have to remove it from my Chrome and add it again. It's really bothering.

Why the extension overrides some p elements fonts to sans-sarif?!

Great idea, but inconvenient to use; can't sync automatically; can't even find a way to sync manually after closed the welcome page!
