Achievements come alive. Earn a badge and Polly celebrates with you on the spot, with a refreshed achievements screen to browse your collection. Smarter speaking practice. When you say it from memory, Polly now grades what you meant, not just the exact words, so a right answer in your own words counts. Retell feedback teaches with specific tips and a model answer. Plus polish and fixes throughout. ### 2.1.5 — 2026-08-19 Fixes a freeze when building Tap Mode practice sessions. "Say it yourself" now opens the story first, so you retell what you just read. Words your tutor adds to the weekly packet can now be heard aloud, even offline. Clearer microphone messages during speaking practice. ### 2.1.4 — 2026-08-13 Polly got a makeover. The whole app is now hand-drawn, from the icon to the widget to the stories. - A fresh hand-drawn look on every screen - Polly lives on your home screen and fades when you skip days. Practice brings her back - Verb practice with instant feedback and full conjugation tables - A bigger practice hub: flashcards, games, quizzes, picture match, and practice tests - Story chapters preview the tricky vocabulary first, and you can look up and save any word as you read - Shadowing now shows exactly which words it heard you say - Clearer speak practice: see what you said next to what was expected Two minutes minimum to unlock your apps. You set the rules. ### 1.5.9 — 2026-07-21 Polly's been busy. She noticed you keep making the same mistake. New tutor hints appear when you trip over the same word or tense twice. Gentle. Not judgmental. Mostly. Practice stopped asking you things you already know. You got it right. Three times. We heard you. "I don't know" is now a real answer on the placement test. Guessing was making us both look bad. Grammar, in human. "Pretérito perfecto compuesto" now just says what it actually is. Better voices in interleaved Listen mode. Fewer robots. Learn from your own language. New base-language switcher in Settings — if English isn't your first language, PollyStop no longer assumes it is. Plus: your story moved to the top of the home screen, more words in the word games, and a pile of translation fixes across all 30 languages. If something read strangely in Finnish before — that was us. Sorry. ### 1.5.6 — 2026-07-02 - Read at YOUR level. You can now pick A2, B1, or C1 instead of Polly deciding you're basically fluent and hurling B1 at your face. Bold assumption on our part. Our bad. - Sound's back, baby. Correct answers go ding, finishing gets a tiny victory trumpet, and Polly finally stopped narrating three sentences at once like a haunted karaoke machine. - Brag button. Share your streak (and now your word count). Guilt your friends into learning Spanish too. It's called community. - "No story yet"? We had the story the whole time. Polly was just hiding it in his little beak. We've spoken to him. - Shadowing that actually shows up. No more "getting your audio ready" on stories that were, in fact, ready. - Quieter, faster, and 100% fewer parrots talking over each other. ## More apps by Train Your Brain - [TYB : Homework & Study Helper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tyb-homework-and-study-helper/id6754978562) All apps by Train Your Brain: https://appshunter.io/developer/1851211079 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
