What's New in PopEar
1.1
August 3, 2026
New: Tap mode Fill in the blanks your way: type the word, or tap the word tiles. Switch anytime from For You. - Tap mode: rebuild the sentence from word tiles instead of typing. Great when your hands are busy, or when spelling gets in the way of listening. - A clearer daily plan: For You now lays your day out in simple steps - Smoother playback: sentences stop where they should, and the player picks itself back up when something interrupts you: a call, headphones out, or leaving the app for a moment. - A friendlier start: new learners now begin with a few hand-picked clips instead of a cold guess. - Plenty of small fixes for a steadier, quieter app.
