v2.12.1August 29, 2026
New Features
- Save a whole phrase, not just one word: The sentence you're on now sits inside the "Add to vocabulary" dialog, and every word in it is clickable. Tap "you" while "how" is selected and the box reads how are you — the words in between fill in on their own, so a phrase is always one unbroken piece. Tap the first or last word again to drop it, or type freely and the highlight follows what you wrote. Each word brings its own IPA. Save what you actually didn't catch.
- AI explains the word or phrase in your language (PRO): A button beside the Meaning box. It labels what you picked — noun, phrasal verb, idiom, collocation, clause, question… — and gives the sense it has in that sentence. For a longer phrase it translates the whole thing and glosses the one or two hard words. Pick something that isn't a real unit, like Carter and, and it says so and suggests the phrase to select instead.
- Listen button beside the IPA: A single word plays the Cambridge recording; a phrase is read by a natural US or UK voice, following the US/UK switch next to it.
- "Already in your notebook" is asked up front: Saving a word you already have used to fail only after you'd filled everything in. Now the old card shows the moment you tap save, and you choose: update it — the sentence you're on is offered as an extra example — or save a new card.
Improvements
- Several example sentences on one card: Examples you add are kept apart with a blank line, review cards show each on its own line, and the notebook shows the first.
- A clear button in the word box: One tap empties it, and the highlight, IPA and hints reset with it.
- The dialog now says "word or phrase": Title, label and placeholder updated in all languages.
Fixes
- A word's recording no longer plays after you switched to a phrase: If the recording was still loading when you pressed listen on a phrase, the old word was spoken right after the phrase.
