What's New in LearnRoots

1.0.6

September 26, 2026

Fixes for getting into your account. If you tried to sign up with an email that already had a Roots account, the app used to send you off to confirm an account it never made, and the password you had just chosen was lost. It now tells you the account exists and takes you straight to logging in. Password reset links now work wherever you open them, including on a computer. Open one on your iPhone and there is a button to finish in the app. The reset screen no longer says an email is on its way when it could not send one.

Amazing Concept

I love this app!!

it’s visually simple, but spot on with how it teaches.

I love how there is no bluff or irrelevant content, it teaches me exactly what I need to know for each language.

Perfect if you cant speak but understand

The app has features designed to help those who can understand their ethnic mother tongue but not speak well. This helps incredibly with that!
