Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with Advanced Word of the Day (AWOTD)?

Download the app from the App Store and select your preference for daily notifications (no judgement if not!). You'll immediately have access to 3 new advanced words daily - no sign-up required!

What's the difference between the free version and Premium?

The free version gives you 3 carefully selected advanced words each day, plus audio pronunciation, Home & Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, a Study deck (save up to 50 words), daily streaks, and light/dark mode.

Premium adds 20 words a day, an unlimited Study deck, and Quiz mode — plus the full 346‑word catalog, faster. It's available as a weekly or annual subscription (with a free trial) or a one‑time lifetime unlock.

How do I manage or cancel a subscription?

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and renew automatically until cancelled. To manage or cancel, open the Settings app on your device, tap your name, then Subscriptions. The one‑time lifetime unlock is a single purchase and never renews. You can restore any purchase from the app's menu via Restore Purchases.

How do I set up widgets and notifications?

To add the widget:

• Long-press on your home screen
• Tap the "+" button to add widgets
• Search for "Advanced Word of the Day"
• Select your preferred widget size

To add the Lock Screen widget: touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, select the widget row, and add Advanced Word of the Day.

For notifications, simply enable them in the app settings when prompted, or go to your device Settings > Notifications > Advanced Word of the Day.

Are the words suitable for standardized tests?

Absolutely! Our daily words are thoughtfully selected with tests like the SAT®, ACT®, GRE®, and GMAT® in mind. While we are not affiliated with any of these organizations (and can't guarantee score improvements), we hope our content supports your broader vocabulary and test preparation efforts.

Can I review and practice words?

Yes! Tap Add to Study on any word to save it to your Study deck, then practice with spaced‑repetition Review — see the word, try to recall the meaning, then reveal and rate it, and the app reschedules it for the perfect time. Premium users can also test themselves in Quiz mode. You can still use the "Previous" button to cycle through today's words, too.

Is there an Apple Watch app?

Yes — the Apple Watch app shows today's words on your wrist, lets you tap to hear pronunciation, and bookmark words to Study. It stays in sync with your iPhone, and it's free for everyone.

1. Overview

Advanced Word of the Day (AWOTD) is operated by XBudd LLC. AWOTD is designed to work without an account, advertising identifiers, third-party tracking, analytics cookies, or behavioral advertising.

2. Information We Process

• Daily word data: The app stores the current daily word batch, widget data, seen-word history, premium status, and notification preference locally on your device and in the app's shared container so the app and widget can stay in sync.
• Purchases: Premium is handled by Apple's in-app purchase system. XBudd LLC does not receive your full payment card information.
• Notifications: If you enable notifications, iOS stores your permission choice and AWOTD schedules local daily word notifications. You can turn these off in the app or in iOS Settings.
• Support emails: If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, device details, screenshots, or support question.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not require an account.
• We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data.

AWOTD is a general-audience educational vocabulary app. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact privacy@xbudd.com and we will take appropriate action.

8. Data Retention

Local app data remains on your device unless you delete the app or reset device data. Support and privacy emails are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, and meet legal obligations.

• You can disable notifications in AWOTD or iOS Settings.
• You can delete local app data by deleting the app from your device.
• You can request access, correction, deletion, or other privacy assistance by emailing privacy@xbudd.com.
