Flashcard Dictionary is an English dictionary that helps you remember the words you look up. Look up a word, read a clear definition written for learners, and hear a native speaker say it. Tap the star to save it and it goes into your Saved Words. From then on Flashcard Dictionary schedules reviews for you: words you know well come back after a long time, words you keep missing come back soon. Flip the card, think, and say whether you remembered. FEATURES • Lookups: definitions from Wiktionary, written for learners of English, with pronunciations recorded by native speakers on Wikimedia Commons. • Saved Words: every saved word is colour-coded by familiarity, from To learn to Learning to Memorized. • Flashcards: the word on the front, the definition and an example on the back. One question per card: do you remember it? • Spaced review: intervals come from the open-source FSRS algorithm, the same family of scheduler Anki uses. Only words that are due are offered, up to 12 cards per session. • Home: see how many words are due today, how many sit at each familiarity level, and when the next review is. • Recent lookups stay on Home so you can go back to them. • English and 简体中文 interface, switchable in the side menu. • Korean: look up and review Korean words too (Settings › Learning language). PREMIUM The free version lets you save 10 words and use every review feature. Premium removes the limit. Premium is an auto-renewable subscription billed monthly or yearly through your Apple Account; cancel anytime in Settings › your name › Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. PRIVACY No account and no data collection. Your lookups, saved words and progress stay on your phone.

About

Soranji

Features
Read full description

Soranji is a quietly beautiful flashcard app built around one idea: memory grows through recall, and recall is easier when the app feels good in your hands. WHY SORANJI IS DIFFERENT • Memory curve - see the forgetting curve for each word, how strong the memory is, and when the next review is due. • Word Ledger - browse words you have not touched in a while, weak spots, and “almost there” words that are correct but slow. • A footprint you want to keep - a study heatmap and streak that celebrate showing up without punishing missed days. BUILT FOR REAL MEMORY • Spaced repetition inspired by the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. • 11 study modes, from matching and multiple choice to spelling, handwriting, and quick reflex games. • Reading and writing are tracked separately, so a word you can read but not spell comes back on the side that needs practice. MAKE PAIRS IN SECONDS • Paste two-column word lists. • Import from files, or extract pairs from text and photos on device. • Start with built-in vocabulary packs, then make them your own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account required. • Your words and learning analytics stay on your device. FREE & PLUS • Free: up to 3 files and 150 pairs. • Soranji Plus: unlimited files and a higher pair limit.
