## What is FlexiLingo?

Learn a language from things you actually want to watch and listen to — then make it stick with smart flashcards and exam prep built the way people actually study.

Study from real podcasts
Pick from a growing library of real podcasts with synced subtitles. Tap any word for an instant meaning, save it to a deck with one tap, and keep listening — even with your screen off, with playback controls right on your lock screen.

Flashcards that adapt to you
Every word you save becomes a spaced-repetition flashcard, so you review it right before you'd forget it. Turn on Auto-Review and let the app read your cards aloud, hands-free, while you cook, commute, or rest your eyes.

Learn from other learners
Browse decks other learners have built and published, sorted by what's newest and most popular, or build and share your own.

CELPIP prep, done right
Practice every section of the CELPIP exam — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — with real exam-style questions and AI-scored feedback that shows you exactly where to improve. Taking practice exams is always free.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.16.2 — 2026-09-05

Practice cards you can actually read
The pronunciation on a word card is now set large and clear instead of too small to make out, and hearing a word is a proper labelled button under it rather than a tiny icon in the corner.

Tapping the word turns the card over
On the question side, tapping the word used to open the dictionary, which answered the card for you. It now simply turns the card over. Once the answer is showing, tapping any word opens the dictionary as before.

Your text size setting applies to the whole session
Reading size only ever changed the plain word card. Every other kind of practice now follows it too, and starts from a larger, easier size.

A new opening
The app opens on a short greeting that travels through the languages it teaches before settling on our name, and gets out of your way in about two seconds instead of four.

Fixes and refinements
Small fixes and internal improvements to keep the app running smoothly.

### 1.15.2 — 2026-09-01

Listening that keeps going with the screen off
Shadowing and a deck's Play all are things you listen to rather than watch, so they now behave that way. Lock your phone or switch to another app and the words keep coming, exactly as hands-free review already did.

Shadowing now tells you how the run is set up
The drill opens on a card that lays out the run — how many words, how many times each one is read, and how long a gap you get to repeat into — and every one of those is a tap away from being changed. It says so while the first words are being prepared, and if the audio cannot be made ready it offers to try again.

A progress bar for the drill itself
The bar at the top of a shadowing run now counts the words in that run and shows the time you have spent listening, so you can watch the drill move from the first word to the last.

Play all starts from the word you picked
Tap a word in a deck's list and Play all begins there instead of going back to the top. Shuffle still applies to everything after it, so the word you chose plays first and the rest of the list follows in a new order.

You are told when a word cannot be read aloud
If a word cannot be turned into audio, listening now stops and says so instead of leaving you on a silent screen. This applies to both shadowing and a deck's Play all.

### 1.15.0 — 2026-08-31

A word list view for your decks
Any deck can now be read as a single list, with every word, its pronunciation, its type and its meaning on one line. Play all reads the list aloud from top to bottom. You can shuffle the order, choose how many times to go through it, and set how long a gap to leave between words. Hide the meanings to test yourself as you read down, and a stopwatch shows how long the pass took.

Shadowing: hear a word, say it back
A hands-free pronunciation drill inside your study session. Switch it on and a new control appears at the top of the session. Each word is spoken, and then there is a pause long enough for you to say it back before the next one arrives. That pause is measured from the moment the sound actually ends, so a long word is never cut short and a short one never leaves you waiting in silence. Choose how many words to practise in a run, how long the pause lasts, how many times each word is repeated and how many rounds to play, and have the meaning read aloud if you want it.

Settings that fit the moment
The settings you can reach while studying are now the ones worth changing part-way through a session, and they sit alongside the other display controls instead of behind a button of their own.

### 1.14.1 — 2026-08-28

Study hands-free with Auto-Review
Turn on Auto-Review in your study settings and let the app work through your cards for you — it reads each word aloud, shows the meaning after a short pause, then moves on at the pace you choose. It is a relaxed, no-tapping way to review while you cook, commute, or rest your eyes, and it keeps playing even when your screen is off, with play and pause on your lock screen.

Hear more languages
Words are now read aloud in more languages, including Persian, so both sides of a card can be spoken, not just the English one.

### 1.12.0 — 2026-07-18

See your progress when an episode ends
Finish a podcast and you now get a friendly recap of your session — your study time, the words you explored, your level and the experience you earned — followed by a handpicked list of episodes to listen to next, so you can keep going with a single tap.

A better full-screen reading mode
Double-tap the subtitles to slip into full-screen, and double-tap again to come back. In full-screen the text now fills the whole page, and the controls rest on a clean background instead of showing through the words.

Subtitles that always fit
Large subtitles no longer run off the edge of the screen — the text gently scales down to fit the current line, so you always see the whole sentence. You can now also tap words in the lines just before and after the current one, so a word that scrolled past is still only a tap away.

More reliable podcast artwork
Episode covers load more smoothly, and shows without their own artwork now display a clean FlexiLingo cover instead of an empty tile.
