## What is EdgeLingo?

Your AI language partner — buy once, yours forever.

EdgeLingo is a speaking-practice app whose AI runs entirely on your iPhone: real scenario conversations, corrections that show you the natural way to say it, and a phrase bank that feeds the lines you want to keep back into your next conversation as goals — fully offline, so your voice never leaves the phone.

■ Why it's different
• Pay once: one purchase, yours forever. No monthly plan, no per-message fees, no account
• Fully offline: once the models are downloaded, practice on a flight, on a rural drive, anywhere without signal (type or speak — both work)
• Truly private: we collect no data at all — no analytics, no ads, no tracking

■ What you get
• Real conversations: 83 built-in scenarios (airport check-in, ordering food, job interviews, handling a car accident…) with an AI that stays in character, asks follow-ups, and gives you clear goals
• Phrasing fixes: see a more natural way to say every line — grammar and word choice, learned in context
• Phrase bank: reusable phrases are pulled from each chat and filed by topic — then tap Practice and the app builds a conversation whose goals are three of your own saved phrases, credited only when you genuinely work them into what you say
• Stuck? One tap gets you three ways to keep the conversation going
• Custom scenarios: describe a scene — or snap a photo — and get a practice scenario built for it
• Practice languages (14): English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish, Polish, Indonesian and Hindi — guided in your native language (interface in 12 languages)

■ Device requirements
Requires an iPhone 12 Pro / 13 Pro family device, or any iPhone 14 or later (6GB+ memory), with iOS 26 or later. The AI models ship inside the app — that's why the download is large, and why everything runs on your iPhone the moment installation finishes, fully offline. Japanese, Korean, Chinese and French each add one voice pack afterwards — roughly 250 MB to 760 MB, once (Wi-Fi recommended); every other practice language is ready straight away.

Pay once. No subscription. Practice anytime — no pressure.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-02

New practice languages: Indonesian and Hindi — 14 in total.

New in your conversation review: "Practice these fixes" replays the same scene, so you walk it again with the correct phrasing this time.

New appearance themes: Paper, Sage, Midnight, Ocean — switch instantly in Settings.

For Japanese and more, downloaded Apple premium voices can now be selected directly.

Plus fixes and refinements.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-21

Three new practice languages: Vietnamese, Turkish, and Polish.
New Free Practice mode: pick a topic, set a length, and just talk — no script.
New speaking-speed option: slow, normal, or fast.
Korean, Spanish, and French now use a new voice engine — no separate voice download needed.
Speech-recognition downloads now show progress and can be managed in Settings.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-17

Hands-free conversation: turn it on and just talk — no button to hold. You can cut in while the AI is still speaking.

A more natural Japanese voice, running on a new speech engine.

Fixed a crash that could happen on iPhone 17 models.

Devices with less memory can now practise Japanese and Chinese too.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-11

Listening mode: hear the reply first, tap to reveal the text only if you want it.

Language level: pick A1-C1 yourself, or leave it adapting. The AI's wording follows.

Smarter help: you get the opening of a sentence to finish yourself, with the full sentence one tap further if you still need it.

Phrases now explain themselves: not just a translation, but why a native speaker says it that way.

Stability: fixed a crash in speech synthesis on iOS 26/27. If it happens now the app switches to the system voice and the conversation continues.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-05

• Slide up while holding the talk button, then release, to cancel what you were saying — it is never sent.
• Long-press one of your own sentences to edit it; the AI answers the corrected version again.
• Review: save a suggested phrasing to your phrase bank, or long-press to translate and copy it.
• Review: the full conversation now marks the lines that have a more natural phrasing — tap one and it opens right under your own words.
