## What is PhraseFit?

Knowing the translation is not the same as knowing whether you can say it.

PhraseFit labels every phrase — polite, honorific, or casual — and tells you
who it fits and when. Not test prep. The words people actually say at work,
on the road, and around town.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Business — 9 categories, 270 phrases
• Travel — 6 categories, 120 phrases
• Daily life — 6 categories, 120 phrases
510 phrases across 21 categories, in Japanese, Korean and English

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
• Formality is labeled, not guessed. Pick the register that fits the person
  in front of you
• Every phrase carries a note on when to use it — and when not to
• Readings and romaji on all of them, so you never stall on a character
  you can't read
• Search in romaji. No need to type kana or hangul
• Audio playback on every phrase

PRIVACY
No account. No server. No ads. No tracking. No permission requests.
Works fully offline after install.

PHRASEFIT PRO
The first category of each genre — Greetings, Airport & Arrival, and
Greetings & Small Talk — is free.
The remaining 18 categories (440 phrases) unlock with a single one-time
purchase. Buy once, keep it, restore it on a new device.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-26

A widget, a faster review, and a way back to what you missed.

• Phrase of the Day is a new Home Screen widget. One expression a day, in two sizes and on the Lock Screen. It changes at midnight and stays the same all day.
• Speed drop is a new review mode. The expression falls toward the line while you pick its meaning from four choices — ten questions, ten seconds each, moving on by itself.
• Everything you missed can go straight to your library in one tap, and the next round asks about those first.
• Your longest run of correct answers is now kept between rounds, so there is a number to beat.
• Category tiles show how far you have come, and Settings can remind you once a day. The reminder is off until you turn it on.

Quick review is unchanged. It still waits for you.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-21

Review against the clock.

• Speed drop is a new review mode. The expression falls toward the line while you pick its meaning from four choices — answer before it lands.
• Ten questions, ten seconds each. Each one moves on by itself, so your rhythm never breaks.
• Your longest run of correct answers is kept for the round, and everything you missed is waiting at the end — including the ones that ran out of time.
• With Reduce Motion on, the fall becomes a gauge so you can still see the time you have left. With VoiceOver, every question gives you twice the time.

Quick review is unchanged. It still waits for you.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-20

Keep your place while you study.

• Quick review now runs both ways — switch between choosing the meaning and choosing the expression.
• Move to the next or previous expression right from the detail screen, without going back to the list.
• Search results are ordered by how closely they match. When a result matches in a language you are not studying, that wording is shown so you can see why it came up.
• Library has a new Learning tab that gathers everything you marked as Learning or Mastered.
• Lists now show which expressions are favorited and how far along you are.

Fixed: if a favorite or a study status could not be saved, the app now tells you instead of losing it silently.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-15

• Show Mode
Fill the screen with a phrase and turn your device to show it — for airports, restaurants, and clinics when words don't get through. The screen stays awake while you show it.

• Share phrase cards
Turn a phrase you like into a card image and share it in messages or on social media.

• Quick review
Five questions from the home screen, starting with what you haven't learned yet. Tap any miss to open it right away.

• Better speech
VoiceOver now reads each phrase in its own language, and pronunciation playback is more reliable.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-13

• Pick up where you left off — the home screen now shows the expressions you viewed most recently. New here? We'll start you off with some free ones.
• The library is now split into Favorites and History. Favorites are the ones you saved; History is what you opened recently.
• Removing an item from the library never deletes the expression itself — it only clears the star or the view record.
• Added help buttons where things get confusing: the difference between your language and the translation language, formality levels, and study status.
• Card icons now animate as they appear. Nothing moves if you have Reduce Motion turned on.
• Adjusted content width so lines don't run too long on iPad in landscape.
• You can now leave a review from Settings.
