## What is Vocaby?

Most vocabulary apps make you memorize lists. Vocaby lets you build a bigger vocabulary the way you'd actually enjoy: a few swipes a day.

Swipe through real words. Each one comes with its pronunciation, a plain-English definition, and an example sentence you'll actually remember. Tap to hear it out loud. Keep the words worth learning, hide the ones you already know. The words you keep come back later, right around the time you'd start to forget them, until they're yours for good.

That's the whole idea: words go from "I think I've seen that" to "I use that."

What you get:

29,000+ English words, plus a growing Korean set, each with IPA, audio, definitions, and examples.

A review system (FSRS) that brings a word back just before you'd forget it, so you study what you need and skip what you don't.

Curated decks by topic, so you're not staring at a blank search bar wondering where to start.

A word of the day, and a home-screen widget that teaches you something new every time you glance at your phone.

Your own words, added in seconds. Type a word and Vocaby fills in the definition, pronunciation, and examples for you.

Controls that fit your pace: how many new words a day, how hard you push your memory, and when to get reminded.

A warm, paper-like design that's easy to read first thing in the morning or last thing at night.

Try Vocaby Pro free for 7 days. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged.

One swipe, then the next. That's how the list gets shorter and your vocabulary gets bigger.

Vocaby Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

### 1/5 — change

*2026-07-23*

didn’t change words ever

**Developer response:** Sorry about that. If you tapped the heart on a word, the widget pins it until you tap the refresh button on the widget, and the refresh interval is editable too (long-press the widget, then Edit Widget > Refresh). Tap refresh once and set it to hourly. If it's still frozen on one word after that, email support@pacifiq.io and I'll get it fixed.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-09*

If you struggle to find the right words to say or if you just want to increase your vocabulary, this is an amazing app. If you love to learn like I do, you will get so much usage out of this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for writing this out. People who just like learning words are exactly who I made this for, so this one made my day.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-07-09*

Really helpful

**Developer response:** Thanks! Helpful with zero effort is the whole goal.

### 5/5 — Finally one that stuck

*2026-07-02*

downloaded and quit like five vocab apps before this. Sticking with this one.

**Developer response:** Five vocab apps deep and this one stuck. That's the best thing I could read today. Thanks for staying.

### 2/5 — Family Sharing

*2026-07-01*

Hello I just bought the app.  I’d love to share this with my son who’s in my Apple Family Sharing group.  I’m certainly not going to purchase this twice but I’d be much more likely to renew/ not request a refund right now if he was able to be a part of it.  Curious if this is already a feature that I’m missing?

**Developer response:** Please check!!

Hi, and thanks for buying the app! That's a great suggestion.
I've just enabled Family Sharing, so your son can use it through your family group at no extra charge. 

To get set up:
- Have him download the app on his iPhone (signed in with his own Apple ID that's part of your family group)
- Open it and tap "Restore Purchases"

If anything gets stuck, just email me at support@pacifiq.io and I'll take care of it.
Thanks again, and enjoy!

### 5/5 — 굳굳

*2026-06-28*

잘 모르는거 진단해서 외울수 있게 도와줘서 좋네요

**Developer response:** 진단부터 시작하는 방식이 잘 맞으셨다니 다행이에요. 모르는 단어 더 잘 골라내도록 계속 손볼게요. 감사해요!

### 5/5 — 단어 공부가 부담 없이 재밌어졌어요 😊

*2026-06-28*

Vocaby 써보니까 단어 공부가 생각보다 부담 없고 재밌어요! 스와이프로 넘기면서 학습하는 방식이라 가볍게 보기 좋고, 발음이랑 뜻, 예문까지 같이 나와서 단어를 더 쉽게 이해할 수 있어요. 그냥 외우는 느낌보다 자연스럽게 익히는 느낌이라 좋았습니다. 디자인도 깔끔하고 복습 기능도 있어서 꾸준히 쓰기 좋은 앱이에요 👍 단어 공부 습관 만들고 싶은 분들께 추천합니다!

**Developer response:** 부담 없이 재밌다는 게 제일 듣고 싶었던 반응이에요. 스와이프랑 복습, 더 가볍게 계속 손볼게요. 리뷰 남겨주셔서 힘났어요!

### 5/5 — 0개국어 탈출기 ㅋㅋㅋ 대만족중입니다

*2026-06-24*

요즘 숏폼을 너무 많이봐서 그런지 단어도 똑같은거만 쓰고 0개국어 되는 기분이었거든요.. 근데 이 앱 쓰면서 한국어 고급(?) 어휘를 계속 보니까 좀 나아지는 것 같아요 ㅋㅋ 원하면 영어공부도 돼서 좋아요. 아 그리고 위젯이 예뻐서 홈에다가 해두고 매번 보니까 좋네요. 저처럼 릴스중독자 분들 추천입니다 !!

**Developer response:** 0개국어 탈출 응원해요 ㅋㅋ 위젯 예쁘게 봐주셔서 고마워요. 고급 어휘 더 좋은 걸로 계속 채워둘게요.
