The VocabulAir app lets you create vocabulary cards via the Apple Pencil on the iPad or using the keyboard on an iPhone. The cards you created then start out at level 1 and you can test yourself: If you know the card, swipe right and it will be upgraded to level 2. If you don’t know the card, swipe left and try again some other time. You can select the level you are currently learning. Cards can be favorited so you have easy access to those words you need most, e.g. for reviewing them before a test. The cards you created will be synchronized between your iPhone and iPad: That way, you can use the Apple Pencil to create new cards at home or at school and later learn them on your iPhone when waiting or on bus or train rides. The iPad variant supports split-screen: You can open e.g. an online course on one side of your iPad's display and write down the new vocabulary on the other side. Cards can also be exported for saving your work, so you can periodically back up your work and the states of your cards onto your computer.
