What's New (App Store): What's new: • Back up your words and sync them across phones with an optional account. Find it in Settings, Your data, Back up and sync. • Hide subtitles printed on the video: turn on the cover in player settings and drag it over them. • Clips fill more of the screen, with your daily goal and the feed filter on the side. • In lessons taught in English, the English lines are dimmed so the French stands out. • A small celebration when you hit your daily goal. • Press and hold the app icon to send us an idea or message the founder. • Fewer slideshow clips in the feed, and better first clips for beginners.
