Experience of Using " Freerice" app.

 Hello! It's Fariha Hossain. Well, free-rice is a new app for me to learn vocabulary since I never use any app to learn vocabulary, although I never heard about it. However, I was wondering what it could be after knowing the name " Free-rice."" I was puzzled and curious, though. Moreover, I liked the idea that every correct answer would donate a few grains of rice to those who are hungry. It made me feel like I was doing something small but meaningful just by learning. So, learning experience was quite interesting ,exciting, and also contributing . First of all,

Learning Objective:

The main goal of the app is to help users learn vocabulary, grammar, and general knowledge. For me, it felt like an educational game — I was improving my English while contributing to a good cause at the same time. 

 

2. User Friendliness:

 

I found the app very easy to use. The layout was clean and simple. I could quickly choose a topic and start answering questions without any confusion. I think It’s great that I didn’t have to create an account or go through long steps to start playing. 

 

 3. Motivation : 

 

Thirdly,What honestly kept me motivated was that I am learning with a good purpose, and through this, I am actually helping people. Unlike other apps where I just play for fun or competition, this one made my learning feel meaningful. Every correct answer represented not just my progress but also a small act of kindness toward someone in need.

It gave me a sense of responsibility and pride — even though I was just answering questions on my phone, I was still part of something bigger, helping fight world hunger in my own small way. That thought kept me going. 

 

 4.Interaction:

 

Although the app doesn’t have chat or multiple option for the instant feedback after every question made it feel interactive enough. I liked seeing whether my answer was correct right away, and it helped me remember new words better. 

 

5. Learning Outcome:

 

After using the app for a while, I noticed that my vocabulary improved, especially with synonyms and word meanings. I also learned new facts from the general knowledge section. It’s not a deep learning experience, but it’s perfect for quick learning sessions during free time.

 

6. Limitations:

 

One thing I wish the app had was explanations for wrong answers — sometimes I wanted to know why something was wrong. It would also be nice if I could compete with friends or see my progress in more detail.

 

7. Suggestions for the Developer:

 

I would suggest adding short explanations for incorrect answers and maybe a leader board or weekly challenges to make it more exciting. An offline mode could also be helpful for users with poor internet connections.

 

8. Miscellaneous:

 

Overall, my experience with Free-rice was positive. It’s simple, meaningful, and educational. I enjoyed learning while knowing that my time was contributing to a good cause. It’s a small way to make a difference — and it actually made learning feel rewarding.😇
