Real Spanish phrases on your Lock Screen, like "Me trae la cuenta, por favor" (Can I get the check, please?). Tap Say it, speak the phrase out loud, and see how clearly your phone understood you, word by word. Phrases you miss come back sooner; phrases you know come back later, until you can say them from memory. • Say it: one tap, speak the phrase, and see which words your phone caught. A simple pronunciation guide (like "meh TRAH-eh lah KWEN-tah") helps beginners. • Lock Screen and Home Screen widget. Long-press a phrase notification for Knew it, Show me or Say it. • Goal packs for travel, restaurants, your partner's family and work. • A check on day 6 ("You remembered 4 of 5") and a weekly report. • Gentle streaks with freeze, repair and vacation pause. Celebrations can be subtle or off. • You choose how many phrases per day and when they arrive, with quiet hours at night. • No ads. No hearts or energy limits. Also available for French, Italian, Portuguese, German and English. LinguaBites Pro is a subscription. Plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the app before you subscribe.
