La Palabra
Read full descriptionHide full description
La Palabra shows you one Spanish word at a time. Open the app or glance at your lock screen: today's word is there with its part of speech, its meanings, and an example sentence with a translation. That's the whole idea. No streaks to protect, no daily reminders, no lessons to finish. Vocabulary arrives in the places you already look, and you learn it by seeing it. Widgets that do the work Put the word on your lock screen and your home screen. It updates on the schedule you choose — every hour for a steady drip, or once a day if you'd rather sit with one word. Your level, from A1 to C2 Pick a CEFR level and get words that match it. Move up when you're ready. Every word is tagged, so you always know where it sits. Built to be read Each word comes with its part of speech, one or more meanings, and a sentence showing it in use. Nothing is hidden behind a tap. Keep what's worth keeping Mark words as favourites and come back to them. Your progress across the levels is there when you want it, and never pushed at you when you don't. Quiet by design No account required. No notifications. Full dark mode. The app is calm because the learning works better that way. La Palabra means "the word".

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nerve Block at none against La Palabra's 1. Nerve Block also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). La Palabra's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
