What's New in Lingofrica

4.2.0

October 6, 2026

Lingofrica 4.0 is our biggest update yet. We rebuilt the app's foundations to make it faster and more dependable, and your favourites and progress come with you when you update. What's better • Audio you can count on. Lesson sounds now play reliably, including Kikuyu words with accents. • New illustrations. Greetings, Relations and Time lessons now show pictures in place of plain word cards, and every topic has a fresh, colourful cover. • Smarter Library search. Type "mwiri" and find "mwĩrĩ". You no longer need the accents. • No more duplicate topics. Topics that appeared two or three times after switching language now appear once. • Fairer trivia. Your last answer counts, your high score updates straight away, and your chosen difficulty is remembered. • Smoother navigation. Going back after a lesson takes you where you expect, and the tab bar and status bar look right in both light and dark mode. • Better on a weak connection. Videos and lessons recover on their own when your connection returns. Thank you for learning with us. If something doesn't look right, tap Send Feedback in the app's menu or write to support@lingofrica.com.

“Tap and Learn”

I really like this app, its very good for learning Kikuyu. My issue is with the sound, I can’t seem to hear words and phrases when clicking the button. I know it’s not my phone because I went on other apps to check. If they could fix this issue then the app would be perfect!
