Want to learn new Spanish vocabulary but don't have the time to go through 100s of flashcards? LinguaWidget is for you! Our app brings real world Spanish vocab to your device's home or lock screen. Our widgets will show you new Spanish words throughout the day. Because you’ll be seeing the word every time you look at your phone (something we all do hundreds of times a day) you’ll be learning new words without putting in any time or effort. Features - Our widget can be placed on your lock screen or home screen. - Our carefully selected word list covers a range of everyday, commonly used vocabulary. You can also download word lists based around particular topics like travel and business. - We include an example sentence for each word (which you can view by touching the widget) so you can see how the word is used in context. We also include audio so you can see how to pronounce the vocabulary you're learning. - Add your own custom words - the app can even save you time here by autofilling the conjugations of both regular and irregular verbs. - If there’s a word that you already know well or don’t want to learn, you can remove it from your word list.

In this app for Spanish and English learners, the focus is on daily speaking practice, understanding native speakers and learning vocabulary. Use the daily short activities to prepare for speaking and listening in the real world. Talk spontaneously about a daily topic. After you see the day’s topic, you have 10 seconds and then you need to start speaking about it. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes - no one is listening (only the AI). Listen to real human native speakers who are talking naturally in real conversations. Test yourself by writing what you hear and finding out if you're correct. You can view a transcript of what they're saying and click difficult words to see an explanation. On the Playlists tab, you can learn and practice vocabulary only by listening. Play a vocabulary list to hear new words with translations, without needing to look at your phone. You could listen and test yourself on vocabulary while walking, driving or cleaning, to maximise your language learning time. Do written or spoken role plays in real life scenarios and see your mistakes corrected. This app was created by a team of two, in the UK, including a qualified language teacher.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LinguaWidget at none against Spoken's 4. LinguaWidget also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Spoken's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (92 vs 8). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
