## What is Learn Languages with Retriever?

Learn Languages with Retriever turns great lives into daily language lessons.

Pick the people whose lives you admire and the app builds a course of your own. Each question is spoken by that person — listening, speaking, sentence building and real conversation, a little every day.

■ Four languages
English, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. Choose the one you want and the course is assembled in it.

■ A course built from the people you chose
Historical figures and classic literature. The names you pick become the order of your level-by-level curriculum.

■ Lessons in their own voice
Every question comes from that person, and each correct answer is praised in your native language.

■ Talk with them
Speak and listen as if you were on a call. (The conversation is an AI re-creation, not a real statement by that person.)

■ A little every day
One more round today and a daily streak keep the habit small enough to keep.

■ Plus subscription
Learn as much as you want, with no heart limit.

Everyone in the app is a public-domain historical figure or a character from classic literature.

Admiration is the best teacher. Start today.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.16.1 — 2026-09-25

Change your password in Settings, and see mistake explanations in your app language.

• If your password isn't accepted when you sign up, we now tell you exactly what to change — too common, found in a data breach, or too similar to your email.
• Fixed content sliding under the clock when scrolling the Today tab, and tidied spacing in Settings.
• You can now change your password in Settings after confirming the current one. Deleting your account asks for your password once more.
• Settings > Edit my tastes lets you pick your tastes again without losing your progress.
• The explanation after a wrong answer now appears in the language you chose for the app.
• Picking the answer in a dialogue blank now shows the same result sheet as other questions, and word-building questions make it clearer what to tap next.
• New sound effects.
• Tap the friends on the Today tab to change how they look.
• Tap the App info card in Settings to copy the version, build number and platform as one line — paste it when you report a problem.
• English text fields now open with an English keyboard, plus fixes for dialogue-blank spacing and account settings that could be blocked on shared networks at work or school.

### 1.15.0 — 2026-09-07

Fixed the bug where finishing a lesson didn't unlock the next one.

• Completed missions weren't being saved, so the same lesson kept coming back. Fixed, and lost progress has been restored.
• Dialogue questions now respond when you pick the right word — with sound. Tapping a wrong chip still costs no hearts.
• Fixed audio getting quiet after saying a single word.
• Fixed Spanish, Chinese and Japanese sentences being read with an American English accent.

The app is now called **Learn Languages with Retriever** — it shows as "Retriever" under the home screen icon. You don't need to delete or reinstall anything; only the name changed and your progress is untouched.

You can now see the app version in Settings, and we cleaned up a notice that appeared more than once.

### 1.12.0 — 2026-09-04

The screens where a figure speaks now ask you to do something.

• One word is missing from the sentence — tap one of three chips to fill it in. Getting it wrong costs no hearts and plays no buzzer; this is a moment in the conversation, so tap freely.
• Fixed a bug where pressing Skip on those screens recorded a wrong answer.
• The notice about where this app uses generative AI has been updated. Whenever it changes, we'll show it to you again.
• Signing in and saving progress are faster.

### 1.11.0 — 2026-09-02

· Context notes and sentence meanings now appear in your own language (English, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese).
· The sentence on your Apple Watch face changes every hour, in the language you're learning.
· The home screen widget now shows when today's streak is at risk — and turns blue on days a shield protects it.
· Character faces are back on every question screen.
· Polished the wording of the character notes.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-29

• Every circle on the learning map now shows the face of the person you'll meet — and they smile once you finish.
• 49 characters to talk with, each with their own voice and personality.
• Lessons now include short English conversations with that day's character. Only for learners who opted in to AI.
• The first time you hit your daily goal, your favorite fills the screen to celebrate.
• The "Today's sentence" home screen widget now comes in a small size.
• Fixed home screen widgets that kept showing old information.
