Most language apps teach you to say "the cat drinks milk". Then you land in Finland, and a letter from Kela decides whether you can stay. Suomi is built for that person: someone whose residency, job or citizenship depends on the language. It covers the part everyone else skips. 12,284 WORDS, IN THE ORDER THAT PAYS OFF Core 1000 is the vocabulary behind roughly half of everything Finns say. Learn it first, in small units, and speech stops being noise. Beyond it: work, healthcare, childcare, bureaucracy, school, travel, nature — 24 themes in all. ALL 15 CASES, ONE AT A TIME 56 grammar rules in real sentences, covering every Finnish case, consonant gradation and all six verb types. A rule unlocks once you have actually met it in a word you know. Mixed practice makes you produce the form instead of picking it from a menu. YKI B1 PREPARATION A dedicated track for the exam that stands between you and permanent residency: the vocabulary, the forms and the situations it tests. READ REAL FINNISH FROM DAY ONE 250 graded texts from A1 to C1. Tap any word for its meaning, hear any sentence read aloud, and watch words you have learned light up inside a real text. SPOKEN FINNISH, NOT ONLY BOOK FINNISH Nobody on the street says "minä olen". Learn mä oon, sun, tuu next to the written forms, so you recognise both. TRAIN YOUR EAR Length is meaning: tuli, tuuli, tulli are three different words. Listening drills teach you to hear it instead of guessing. 1,616 SENTENCES Word order drilled three words at a time, until Finnish syntax stops feeling backwards. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE A two-minute placement test puts you where you belong instead of starting everyone at zero — and you can move your own level any time. Words known, CEFR level from A1 to C1, streak, accuracy, and how many days the next level is away at your current pace. SUOMI PRO Free gives you 20 new cards a day and unlimited review of everything you have already met, the first three reading texts, and drills for the core cases. Pro lifts the daily limit and opens the whole reading library and targeted practice for every grammar rule, as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. No ads, no accounts and no streak guilt-tripping either way. Every theme is open from day one — the free tier rations new cards, never reviews. Stop paying and everything you have learned stays on your device. FULLY OFFLINE Everything runs on your device, at Kela, on the metro, in a cottage with no signal. Nothing is collected and nothing leaves your phone. Interface in 26 languages, among them English, Ukrainian, Arabic, Somali, Kurdish, Persian, Vietnamese and Thai. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Suomi Pro — Monthly | $8.99 | per month | | Suomi Pro — Yearly | $49.99 | per year | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Suomi Pro — Lifetime | $119.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.4 — 2026-09-07 Badges — fourteen of them, for coming back after a break, for a word you still knew five weeks later, for a card you got wrong three times and then got right. Never for an unbroken streak. Fifty new words on your first day, then twenty a day as before. The daily limit no longer lands inside your first session. The reader opens at your own level, and the free texts are the four at that level rather than the three easiest. Walk mode really does keep playing with the screen locked now. Notifications are explained before they are asked for, and the weekly report follows the goal you chose instead of always the YKI exam. ### 1.3 — 2026-09-03 Sixty seconds, and as many cards as you can The clock ends the sprint, not the card count — so "no time for a lesson" now has an answer that still counts. Words you already know, multiple choice, and every answer goes to the schedule exactly as it would in a lesson. Your best score stays. What did you hear Ten rounds on the pairs that sound the same until they don't — the long vowel against the short one, the double consonant against the single. The word is spoken and never shown before you answer, and the score comes back tomorrow so you can see your ear getting better. Say it back The walk loop with the gap turned into your turn: the sentence, a silence the right size to repeat it, then the sentence again to compare. Nothing is translated out loud — this one is the mouth, not the memory. Stories on the walk A walk used to shuffle single lines. It can now play the texts you have read, lines in order, as an audiobook with a gap after each line — so each line still makes the next one easier. The page that comes before the first word Every letter with its name and a word that uses it, all of it tappable, because in several cases the name is not the sound. Then the spelling rules as sections you can open, with every example spoken: length written twice, ä and ö as their own letters, the stress that never moves, the diphthongs. A run of right answers The progress bar told you how far in you were and never how you were doing. Three correct in a row now puts the number on the bar you are already looking at. A peeked answer does not count towards it. Can't listen right now On a bus, in a meeting, with someone asleep in the room — one line under the speaker skips that card ungraded and pauses listening cards for an hour. Being somewhere quiet is not a wrong answer. Also in this update · The example under an answer now has its meaning one tap away, in Swedish, Estonian, German, Polish, Arabic, Spanish, French and Turkish — twenty thousand sentences translated · "Show translation" is free, stays open once you have opened it, and is a button you can see rather than a stray link · A word placed by mistake in a word-order card can be taken back · The dialogue card now shows what the other person asked · The sprint and the ear game wear the lesson's own design, and a right answer in the ear game teaches the schedule · The grammar tab no longer animates forty-eight rows to show eight · Counts and plurals corrected across the app — "0 texts read" and every other number that was wrong · The Begin button is no longer buried under twenty-six language pills · Layout fixes: the alphabet grid, the tab label that ran past its own highlight, two cards that sat wider than the rest ### 1.2 — 2026-08-28 Fifty reader texts, from A1 to C1 The reader grew from 18 texts to 50 and now runs the whole way to C1 — spoken Finnish, tenancy rules, the YKI opinion essay. Tap any word for its meaning and the case it is in. Texts read aloud Listen to a whole text line by line, with the line you are hearing marked as it goes. Light theme The whole app in light or dark, or following your phone. Also in this update · A streak now survives two missed days a month · Music returns to full volume after a word is spoken · Country and city names are tappable in the reader · Choosing your level in Settings now lands on that level ### 1.0 — 2026-08-21 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Suomi | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Kansalaisuuskoe – citizenship](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kansalaisuuskoe-citizenship/id6779773850) | — | Free | Education | | [Suomify - Learn Finnish](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/suomify-learn-finnish/id6761519433) | — | Free | Education | | [SuomiSpeak: Learn Finnish](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/suomispeak-learn-finnish/id6760931407) | 4.5 (10) | Free | Education | | [Erla: Learn Finnish with AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/erla-learn-finnish-with-ai/id6755589445) | — | Free | Education | | [K-Suomi - Learn Finnish](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/k-suomi-learn-finnish/id6761678267) | — | Free | Education | | [Kielo - Learn Finnish with AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kielo-learn-finnish-with-ai/id6749446603) | — | Free | Education | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
