Though I graduated with a computer science degree, Orphic was the first app that I created after learning programming by myself. (College taught nothing practical.)
The most challenging part was to create a great UI that provides a great UX while being pleasant to the eye. Also, searching & selecting words manually to add to the app as I am not an expert in linguistics.

If you mean favorite from my own creations, then Evequote and Crisper are my favorites. Though Evequote didn't succeed that much, I am proud of what I created. Other than my apps, it's Microsoft's OneNote. It's really great and easy to use.
I've been working on this app since its release year i.e 2016 and still plan to continue working on it.
Saw some of my friends who were obsessed with finding words that weren't commonly used and hence the idea for Orphic came forth. Orphic proves to be of great help to user interested in uncommon words.
It's unlike other apps that provide a complete dictionary or a word of the day app which just selects a word randomly whether it's commonly used or not. Orphic, on the other hand, uses manually-selected words which are all obscure and not commonly used. Also, Orphic provides a note feature to add a note for each word.
Well, I have many features planned through. For beginners, more words, quizzes, and more.
I would really ask and appreciate users to send any bugs they face or a feature they would like to have in the app. And also share Orphic with their friends and family.
