Learn words. Actually remember them. ProWord is a vocabulary app built on spaced repetition. You add the words you want to know, and it brings each one back just before you would forget it — on day 3, then day 7, then day 14, until the word is yours for good. HOW THE 3-7-14 LADDER WORKS Every word you practise climbs one rung. Day 3 — locks it into short-term memory. Day 7 — reinforces the connection. Day 14 — moves it to your Memorized stack, for good. You never have to decide what to study. The app knows what is due today. FLASHCARDS WORTH COMING BACK TO A word sticks when there is something to hang it on. - AI-written example sentences that show the word in real context - Pictures you can attach in a tap, for visual memory - Phonetic transcription, so you know how it sounds - Alternative translations, because most words have more than one - Point your camera at something and let ProWord name it and build the card EIGHT WAYS TO PRACTISE Connect, Type, Listen, Pronounce, Translate, Sentence Quiz, Puzzle and Snake. The same word from different angles is what turns recognition into recall. A WORD ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widget and the word you owe a review sits right there — picture, translation and example included. Glance at it, remember it, carry on. LISTEN INSTEAD OF READING Turn your saved words into an audio track with music and play it in the background: on a walk, on the way to work, at the gym. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Points every time a word graduates, a daily streak worth protecting, and a Game Center leaderboard if you like competing. Switch it all off in a tap if you do not. FIVE LANGUAGES, ANY DIRECTION English, Spanish, Croatian, Ukrainian and Russian — learn any of them from any of the others. YOUR WORDS FOLLOW YOU Everything syncs through iCloud, so a word added on your iPhone is waiting on your iPad. No sign-up, no account to create. START FREE The free plan covers a limited number of words, with no card and no sign-in to get going. Premium removes the limit when you are ready. Built by one developer who uses it every day.
