What’s new
Version 1.8 · Updated October 5, 2026
What's New in 1.8 Premium • Premium now stays active across your devices. Fixed an issue where a phone or tablet could show "Free" even with an active subscription. • Restore Purchases is more reliable and updates your status right away. Learning • The letters for the "type the word" exercise now show immediately, with no need to tap "Show hints". • "Show answer" now counts correctly: it counts as correct if you had hidden the hints, or if you had already spelled the word right. • Words without example sentences now work in every exercise: you see the translation and pick or spell the original word. • Tap the speaker icon to hear the full example sentence. • Better highlighting of the practised word in example sentences. It is now more often on the right word. Stories • Missing story covers are now restored automatically. • Story audio is now available only for stories. Settings • You can copy your User ID with one tap, which makes it easier to send to support. Bug fixes and performance improvements.
