What's New in Wordbrush

2.3.3

September 3, 2026

Tap the word, hear the word. The example sentence on a revealed card has always replayed when you tapped anywhere on it. The word above it did not, you had to find the small speaker beside the pinyin. Now the top of the card behaves the same way. Tap the character, the pinyin or the meaning and the word plays again, in the same native take, as many times as you like. The speaker button is still there if your thumb is already on it. The App Store listing now speaks ten more languages. Japanese, Korean, Spanish for Spain and for Latin America, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Vietnamese, Russian and Italian learners can read what Wordbrush actually does before they download it. The app itself is still in English, and every listing says so plainly instead of hiding it. Wordbrush teaches the 2,200 HSK words in ten quiet minutes a day: characters decoded into their components, native HD audio on every card, and real sentences from your very first session.

User reviews

Just amazing…

What a pity I didn’t discover this app sooner, it would have saved me so much time… no more searching for the right Anki deck, looking up character etymologies on Wiktionary, or sentence-mining God knows what… this app really does it all, and it’s completely free
Update: after a long sessions, my eyes start to hurt. I hope you could make the font a bit larger, or at least allow users to adjust it

Response from developer

So glad you enjoy it! I’ve added larger font options in the settings menu. :)

FAQ

What is the learning methodology behind Wordbrush?

Does Wordbrush offer audio for all vocabulary and example sentences?

Yes, Wordbrush provides natural HD audio for every word and example sentence. This includes studio-quality recordings rendered by Google's Chirp 3 HD voices to capture tones and prosody.

How does Wordbrush help with understanding Chinese characters?

Each character is decoded by its radicals, showing meaningful sub-components with pinyin and etymological notes. This approach helps users understand character construction rather than memorizing them stroke by stroke.
