What's New in Fluency Refrain

1.0.2

October 29, 2026

• Filipino (Tagalog) is here, with a natural Philippine voice. Search for either name when you add a language. • Three more Spanish accents, each with its own voice: Colombia, Chile and Peru. Spanish · Latin America now speaks with a Mexican voice, and searching "Persian" now finds Farsi. • Importing a list keeps the translations you wrote, adds any missing meanings in the app's language, and lets you choose the deck to import into. • Auto-fill keeps exactly what you typed and only fills the empty field, idioms included. If it can't, it tells you why. • When your variety borrows another region's idioms, the title says so, e.g. "Spanish idioms (Spain)". • A new Help section in Settings links to a guide on how chorusing works.

Truly Game-Changing!

Fluency Refrain is now a staple in my language learning routine. It’s made it so easy to practice chorusing phrases and sentences which has increased my confidence in speaking. Super easy to use. Highly recommend!

Total Game Changer

I’ve long been a strong proponent of chorusing and shadowing and had resigned myself to fumbling around with mp3 players with an “A/B repeat” function.  Fluency Refrain has rescued me from that.

With Fluency Refrain, it’s dead simple to create my own personalized library of phrases to chorus, whether by inputting them manually or by using AI to create them for me based on categories.  I can then, SRS-style, perform recall exercises in one phase and chorus any desired items as much as I like in the next phase.  As I embark upon my fifth language, it’s been a game-changer.
