October 12, 2026

A new Library • Stories picked for your level. • Slightly harder stories for when you want a step up. • Search by title or author. • Filters for length and unread stories, and sorting by newest, shortest or A to Z. New kinds of flashcards • Four new question types: multiple choice, Listen, Spell it and Match. • The type for each card depends on how well you know the word. • You see new words first in a Match round. • You can turn any type off in the session menu. • After a right answer, you can mark the word as learned. • After a wrong Spell it answer, you see the right spelling. • After a session, you see how well you know each word and can mark it memorized. Your progress in the Dictionary • How many words you've memorized, are learning and haven't started. • How well you know each word you're learning, as a percentage. • Sorting by A to Z, newest or most seen. • You can mark words memorized in the first 100 words too. Sound and vibration in flashcards • A sound and a vibration on right and wrong answers. • Confetti when you finish a session. • You can turn the sounds off with the speaker button. Improvements and fixes • When you sign in on a new device, you go straight to your books instead of through setup again. • When you delete a book, its reading time and finish are kept in your statistics. • Pictures in imported books show again. • The app opens faster on a slow connection. • Stories load more reliably.

User reviews

App really has me learning Spanish!

I come from the streak land of Duolingo, but felt like I hit a plateau in learning and then your goal is just the streak as opposed to learning.

With SimplyFluent you become more invested in learning since you’re trying to understand a story. The dictionary is a great to build your exposure to the words you don’t know. Definitely recommend this app.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I am working on an exciting new update right now that will improve the flashcard/learning experience significantly, plus it will be easier to navigate and find stories, and a bunch of other improvements. Hope you will enjoy :) / Marco

Very deceptive

The promotional materials make it sound like there are tons of actual books available. There are none, only a handful of generic, boring stories for each level of difficulty. The stories could have been written by AI. The app is also pretty buggy. I’m sorry to report this because, when working properly, the translation and flash card functions are very cool.
