HOW IT WORKS - See a noun, pick der, die, or das. Instant feedback. - The SM-2 algorithm schedules each word right before you'd forget it. Words you miss come back sooner. - Five minutes a day builds the habit: streaks, accuracy stats, and a review forecast keep you honest.

Perfect for self-learners, language-course students, and anyone preparing for Goethe, telc, TestDaF, or the Swiss fide test. "Üben" means "to practice" - that's the whole idea.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spaß at none against Üben's 1. Üben's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
