Rayaad helps you remember the words you learn — in any language you choose. Most new vocabulary is forgotten within days. Rayaad fixes that by showing you each word again at the moment you are about to forget it. Words you find hard come back quickly. Words you already know get out of the way, so your time goes where it is needed. This is called spaced repetition, and it is the reason ten minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday. HOW IT WORKS Learning is one gesture. A word appears, you try to recall it, then you swipe right if you knew it and left if you didn't. Rayaad works out the rest — when each word comes back, and how often. ANY LANGUAGE PAIR Rayaad is not built around one language. You pick the language you speak and the language you are learning, and the app follows. Any pair, including the ones most apps ignore. STUDY WHEREVER YOU ARE • Review on your phone, a few minutes at a time • Listen hands-free while you walk or commute, with lock-screen controls • Read the web normally and let the browser extension swap in words you have already learned • Works offline — your reviews sync when you reconnect YOUR WORDS, YOUR DECK Add words as you meet them, or start from a ready-made list. One deck and one progress record across every device you use. YOUR DATA IS YOURS • Export everything you have added, at any time, in one file • Delete your account yourself, from inside the app • No ads, and nothing sold to anyone RAYAAD PRO Rayaad is free to use, with no daily limit on reviews. Rayaad Pro lifts the card and language-pair limits, opens the whole catalog, and raises the daily AI and speech allowances. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your App Store account settings.
