It's kind of trivial, but "very" is misspelled as "vrey" in the polar bear example sentence in the how to use section.

Although めったにない is a fixed phrase, it would definitely benefit from being broken up and using いない here.

Is this incorrect?
小学生のころはボールペンを滅多に使わなかったよ。

the quiz says it has to be

小学生のころは滅多にボールペンを使わなかったよ。

That would also work. When you see something like that, tap the ? button at the top of the app, then "report quiz error" - it'll help me add an exception so both of them work next time :)
