Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Essential Words for the TOEFL , an app by Kelyn Le Studio, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Essential Words for the TOEFL feels like a straight-to-the-point study plan wrapped in an app. It stays focused on what matters for the exam, mainly a curated list of about 500 high-frequency words and how they show up across reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Each entry is short and clear, with meanings, simple examples, and quick checks so the words stop feeling abstract. There are updated reading selections sprinkled in, so practice does not turn into plain memorizing. It also explains why vocabulary carries so much weight on the current test and shows where a word might be hiding in different sections, which removes alot of guessing.

The flow is pretty structured. Learn a set, answer practice questions, then circle back for review before moving on. Little strategy notes appear along the way, like how to spot context clues or avoid common traps, and that helps the score piece make sense, not just the words. This edition leans on research from past TOEFLs, so nothing feels random or gimmicky. On PC through BlueStacks, the longer passages are easier to read and scrolling is smoother, plus typing answers is less cramped. It is not a flashy app and does not try to be a game. It is organized, the exercises are improved from older versions, and the revised list feels current enough that someone can build real test muscle without wasting time.

Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
