Sapling is GCSE Spanish revision that knows where you are heading. Choose your Foundation or Higher paper, set your exam date, and get a focused daily plan that fits the time you have. Sapling schedules vocabulary practice around what you need to remember — so your revision stays purposeful from first words to final review. STUDY THE AQA CORE Work through AQA GCSE Spanish vocabulary organised by tier and topic. See what is secure, what is still growing, and where to focus next. PRACTISE IN MORE THAN ONE WAY Learn, test yourself, type answers, listen, dictate, and practise recall. Different exercises help turn recognition into usable vocabulary. PLAN TO YOUR EXAM Choose your paper date and daily time budget. Sapling adjusts your workload as you study, protecting time for revision near the exam.

Previous learning progress and streaks won’t carry over, so you’ll start fresh. ### 1.4 — 2026-07-19 Sapling 1.4 takes down the fences. • The daily word limit is gone — free learners can now practice as much as they like, every day. • Speaking practice is now free for everyone. Say words aloud and get instant feedback on your pronunciation. • A much faster start — pick your language and you're learning real words within seconds. • After your first lesson, Sapling can remind you when your words come back for review (spaced repetition works best when you catch them right on time). • A cleaner home screen that leads with today's lesson — your sapling now grows quietly beside your greeting. • Dark mode polish and small fixes throughout. Happy growing! ### 1.3 — 2026-06-11 Your progress now syncs across all your devices via iCloud — pick up on your iPad exactly where you left off on your iPhone. New home-screen widget shows your streak, words due today, and your sapling's current stage at a glance. Daily reminders are smarter: they cite your streak when you're on a run, stay quiet on days you've already practised, and rotate copy so they don't become wallpaper. Each language now has its own plant species that grows through the seasons as your vocabulary builds. Exercises have been tightened to focus on the types that drive the most retention — fewer question formats, more meaningful practice. ### 1.2 — 2026-05-23 Your sapling now reflects your language. Spanish learners grow an olive tree, German an oak, French lavender, Italian a lemon tree, and Portuguese a hibiscus. The plant sways gently as you study, and on active streak days a bee pays a visit. The sun in the plant header now turns into a moon at night. Small thing, but we noticed. A few other polish items: fixed some buttons that were accidentally rendering in system blue, and the Sapling's Journey sheet now shows all five growth stages in full colour so you can see what's coming. ### 1.1 — 2026-05-11 We've reimagined the design of Sapling from the ground up. We hop you like it! ## Apps similar to Sapling | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Loufoque](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/loufoque/id6774882540) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Spanish Chat AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spanish-chat-ai/id6757858408) | — | Free | Education | | [Level: Language Learning](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/level-language-learning/id6763403550) | — | Free | Education | | [Langadelie: Vocab Trainer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/langadelie-vocab-trainer/id6757012039) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Learn German – Magellanister](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/learn-german-magellanister/id6751548466) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Fluent: Speak & Learn Language](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fluent-speak-and-learn-language/id1672450573) | — | Free | Education | ## More apps by NICHOLAS EDWARD CROSS - [Felt: Mood & Habit Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/felt-mood-and-habit-tracker/id6785609323) All apps by NICHOLAS EDWARD CROSS: https://appshunter.io/developer/1888768918 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
