## Review summary

Users praise Brill for daily vocabulary, ease of learning, and broad language options, and appreciate having words accessible on their phone. However, a recurring issue is that the word of the day often fails to refresh, sometimes staying the same or acting up with UI quirks. Some mention basic free-word lists and occasional bugs, but overall sentiment is positive about the app's concept and usefulness.

### Pros

- Makes learning a language easy and enjoyable.
- Offers a wide variety of languages to choose from.
- Very convenient and accessible, with words available when you open your phone.

### Cons

- Word of the Day often fails to refresh or changes inconsistently (stuck or affected by UI quirks).
