Onomi

Point your camera at anything around you and Onomi tells you what it's called in English. Tap the word to see it used in a real sentence, and add it to your deck. Then Onomi brings the word back, days later, just before you'd have forgotten it; until you actually know it. YOUR LIFE IS THE TEXTBOOK Textbooks teach you words in the order someone else chose. Onomi teaches you the kettle in your kitchen, the wrench in your toolbox, the hydrant on your street. Words you meet every day are words you'll actually use. LEARNING THAT STICKS Every word you collect enters a review queue built on spaced repetition; the same well-tested method used by medical students and serious language learners. Review each word right before you'd forget it, and the intervals stretch out as your memory strengthens. ENGLISH, IN ENGLISH No translations. You're looking at the object, so you don't need one; the thing in front of you is the definition. Learning a word directly in English builds the instinct to think in it. WHAT'S INSIDE โ€ข Over 1,000 everyday objects, foods, animals and places โ€ข More than 10,000 example sentences, written to teach real usage โ€” you boil a kettle, you tip a wheelbarrow, you chip a mug โ€ข Pronunciation for every word โ€ข A review queue that adapts to how well you're actually doing FREE, AND GENEROUSLY SO Unlimited scanning. All 1,000+ words. The complete review queue. No daily limits, no locked deck. ONOMI PRO โ€ข Word cards โ€” how each word actually behaves: its plural, how you count it, the verb it goes with, and the mistake learners make โ€ข Spelling practice โ€” type the word instead of choosing it โ€ข Listening practice โ€” hear a word and pick it out โ€ข Weekly goals โ€” three fresh targets every week to send you looking further SUBSCRIPTION Onomi Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or yearly.

Verdict

The call

LingoLens and Onomi are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
