PairLingo isn't a template flashcard app — it's built to learn any language pair, at your own pace, with your own words. What actually sets it apart: FOUR WAYS TO PRACTISE Match words in two columns, type the translation from memory, hear a word and type what you understood, or flip flashcards and rate yourself. Matching trains recognition, typing and listening train recall, and cards let you grade each word on a four-step scale — which is what lets the review schedule tell "barely knew it" apart from "knew it instantly". TRULY ANY LANGUAGE PAIR Not just English-Hungarian. Combine any two languages — Spanish-Japanese, German-Russian, whatever you're learning. Pick from 24 curated languages for manual entry, or import a CSV for virtually unlimited language combinations. SMART CSV IMPORT, NOT JUST "UPLOAD" Most similar apps just read the file. PairLingo detects when a word's translation changed (typo fix), warns you about accidentally-duplicated groups with similar names, and lets you decide row by row how to resolve conflicts — update the existing word, or add it as new. PHOTO IMPORT, NO TYPING NEEDED See a word list in a textbook? Just take a photo. PairLingo recognizes the words and groups straight from the picture — entirely on your device, nothing ever uploaded — and shows you exactly what it found before anything's added, so you can fix any mistake first. REAL PRIVACY, NOT JUST A PROMISE No backend server. No account required. No ads, no tracking code. Your words sync across your own devices through your own iCloud account — the developer has no technical way to access your data, even if they wanted to. REAL SPACED REPETITION Not a fixed "wrong answers" bin — PairLingo calculates its own review schedule per word. Words you know well come back less often; tricky ones return sooner. Tap any card to hear it read aloud in its native pronunciation, too. A GENUINELY MULTILINGUAL INTERFACE Not just the content — the app's own interface is available in 6 languages (English, Hungarian, German, Spanish, French, Italian), switchable instantly with no relaunch. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC One app for all your Apple devices. On iPad, the topics and review rows flow into a grid that fills the wide screen; on the Mac, a native app brings a window toolbar, a full menu bar with keyboard shortcuts and a Settings window. Your words and progress stay in sync between all of them through your own iCloud account.
