About
Lingo is a calm way to discover and understand English slang. Each word fills the screen: swipe up for the next one, tap to flip it, and finally understand what everyone means.
ONE WORD AT A TIME
Tap the speaker to hear how
it's pronounced.
The front of each card shows the word, its pronunciation (IPA) and a short, clear meaning. Flip it for an example sentence, where the word comes from, a fun fact and the emoji people often use with it. Origins and fun facts only appear when they are well supported by sources.
MADE FOR YOU
• Like a word to see more like it, or dislike it to see fewer.
• Save words and search them in Settings.
• Search any word with the magnifying glass.
• Choose from more than 60
topics, from gaming and dating to memes, pop culture, retro classics and British slang.
• Filter by the ages of the people who typically use a word, from teen slang to classics like “groovy”.
• Lingo remembers what you have seen. When you have seen every word, start over with one tap.
• Turn on Word of the day for
one new word every day. Tap the notification to open it
• Strong language is hidden by default. You decide if you want to see it.
SHARE A WORD
Turn any word into a full-screen image in your theme, with both sides of the card and the Lingo logo. Save it to Photos or send it to a friend.
THEMES
Pick from 20 themes, light or dark. Keeping a new theme means watching one short ad.
NO ACCOUNT
There is nothing to sign up for. Your likes, saved words and settings stay on your iPhone.
A NOTE ON CONTENT
Slang includes swear words and sexual references. Lingo explains them in a neutral, dictionary-like way, and hides them unless you turn off “Hide strong language”. The age ranges in the app describe who typically uses a word, not who the app is for.
Lingo is free and supported by ads, which are always clearly labeled.
